fazzle 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 No, there's a difference. Buffalo fans are loyal to death to their teams. Buffalo fans will NEVER stop being fans of their teams. But we love to bitch. We bitch about EVERYTHING. Because of our history, when anything goes wrong, we expect it to be the beginning of the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 It was the same thing with the Red Sox prior to 04. Once the team tastes success, the bandwagon hitches up and you have people jumping on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annabelle 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2007 Hasek played well. The rest of the team...well, if they play like that the entire series, they'll be lucky to get to a game 6. the red wings know what they're doing. if anaheim continues that pace they'll be worn out like the sharks by game 6. detroit will slowly wear them down. and i'm still not convinced that anaheim has the offensive prowess to do too much damage. they got a lot of shots because they were always on the powerplay. most of which were horrible calls, too. and why did leena retire? is this part of her buffalo lsot meltdown? and who speaks in terms of "retirement" in regard to a message board?

Guest MixMark Report post Posted May 12, 2007 People may be jumping on the Buffalo bandwagon but there are diehard Sabre fans like myself who don't even live anywhere near Buffalo. I've heard the "bandwagon" remark tons of times but then my friends who have known I've been a Sabres fan for years shut them up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 Well, I was afraid of a start like this. If Ottawa can get one back before the end of the first, I think they should still win. It's not looking that good so far, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fazzle 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 YES! YES! FUCKING BRIERE! YES! Ok, now we need to win this shit! Seriously, once everyone was over there at the wall fighting for the puck, I just had a feeling that the Sabres would manage to score somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 I can't believe how aggressive Ottawa was towards the end of the third with a man down, and the empty-net. Even more so with this penalty kill....Seems to work though, Ottawa's now killed off all seven penalties tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 I was already tired. If Ottawa doesn't fucking win this.... MacLean just pointed out an interesting stat: Every year that ends in 7 since the inception of the NHL, the mug was won by either Detroit or a Canadian team.

Guest Report post Posted May 13, 2007 And now Buffalo fans have a reason to go nuts. Don't like Corvo that much, but when his shot hits the net (rare), it's a great shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fazzle 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 God, I fucking give up. This was our last chance for a while too, with Briere and Drury probably leaving in the offseason. Maybe not Drury, but I'll be shocked if Briere is a Sabre next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 Grrrrr. Had to set the hockey game to record again tonight. Watched all of regulation, and then realizing I'd only set the timer to extend 90 minutes, figured I'd better record some more in case the game went long. While I do that, I accidentally end up switching to one of the ESPN networks and see Barry Melrose with a "Senators 4 Sabres 3" in front of him. So I watched 90 minutes and then spoiled the outcome of overtime. Oh well, at least the Senators look to be moving by Buffalo to the Stanley Cup Finals. I don't mind so much spoiling the outcome of one game in the conference finals, knowing there's likely a whole nother series to look forward to. Go Ottawa!

Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 Giveaways are costing the Wings thus far, but that's pretty much what costs them every game. Still plenty of time though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
packwingfn 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 Getzlaf just LOOKS like a guy I would want to punch in the face. Eh period, Wings still need to skate faster Hasek kept us close in that period with some key saves, the goal wasn't his fault, defense just fell alsleep there.

Guest Report post Posted May 14, 2007 It amazes me that the Wings are around at this point, especially considering that they haven't put together two perfect or even great games in a row all postseason. Just goes to show how good they really are, and it makes me wonder how good they would be with all parts working at the same time. Scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

packwingfn 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 What a huge goal by Lidstrom there, hopefully the wings can continue the momentum going into the third. And thank you Versus for having missed the penalty that McDonald got.....and I hate whenever the wings fan stand that you can't see the bottom half of the ice, not that I have a problem with fans excited, I'm just saying they need a better camera location Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
