Hi TechWife!
I absolutely have a favorite team ... as I mentioned in my second post
I AM A PROUD CAROLINA CANIAC ... But I do have an anybody-but-Buffalo mentality, and it's really SOME of your fans and Lindy Ruff that I don't like. Your players are fine ... I especially admire Ryan Miller and Daniel Briere and Chris Drury.
The visiting Sabres' fans were truly horrendous when they came to the RBC Center last year. NO, fans from other teams have never behaved the way the majority of Sabres' fans did, every night. (Not during our run to the Cup in 2002, and not during the run to the Cup last year.) I know you nicer Buffalo fans don't want to hear it, but it was written up in the papers, things got so out of control. Now, as I said before, I know that's not EVERYBODY from Buffalo; I'm sure many of you are lovely!
Do keep in mind, when we talk about making play-offs, the Sabres have made them the last two years but they didn't the three before that. So don't talk smack about my boys
... after all, they have Stanley Cup hangover!
If I had to choose between winning a Cup, and then missing the p-o's the next year OR just making the play-offs two years in a row, I'll take the first!
Hockey is a great game, and I understand your devotion to your team. I wouldn't be surprised if Buffalo pulls this one off tonight as they will be desperate, with nothing to lose. On the other hand, the Sens are on the verge of a cup and they're in their own house. It should be something!
Go Senators!!!!!!!!!!
