Gary Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 BUFF-A-LOIf Buffalo gets one more win, regardless if Detroit wins or not, they get the trophy because they have the tie breaker.Let's hope then enjoy that trophy then. Cause they ain't wnning the cup.Couldnt have said it any better myselfCause Philly and Toronto have a better chance at it.well even if you guys do make it you do have a little opponent called... NASHVILLEswitch Nashville with Detroit and you have a done deal, Nashville has become Detroits own little ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Helix- Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 You mean the Presidents' Trophy? Yeah, the race for who gets jinxed in the playoffs. No team that has won the Presidents' Trophy has won the Stanley Cup since Colorado in 2001.2001 was only 6 years ago... (And it's actually only been 4 seasons since it's happened)Not bad considering there's only a 1 in 16 chance of the Presidents' Trophy winner also raising the Stanley Cup.Hardly a jinx.

winters in buffalo Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Oh...I know we aren't assured a cup, but they have a good chance at it. I was just saying that Philly (0% chance) and Toronto (.01% chance) have a very minute chance at it. And Nashville does look scary, but I am most scared of the Devils. Brodeur could get hot and kill us.Ignore those guys. The Sabres could be 15-0 in the playoffs and, going into Game 4 of the Finals, half the guys here would still be saying they don't have a shot.

rams80 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 And the Buffalo Sabres are your league points champions!!!!FYPThe hockey gods don't approve of premature championship proclaiming. Also, was the entire population of Buffalo in DC this weekend, or did it just seem like it?

rams80 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 there were tons of sabres fans there today. it was awesome hearing ovechkin being booed in his home arenaUmmm no it wasn't. Speaking as a fan of a team that has been booed in its home stadium because it was overrun with road fans, I find that entirely tasteless and rude. I was sorely tempted to knock the Sabre fan in front of me over the rail for being a jacka$$, honestly.

SG30 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 We're everwhere. Yes we are. As for those of you who think its classless to go to an away game to support your team, what would you do if you were living in another NHL city away from your hometown, with about 500 other displaced guys from your hometown, and you wanted to see your team play? That's what happens to Buffalo kids. They go byebye, but their heart stays with the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not star players and overall good guys like Ovechkin. But I doubt most of the Sabres fans there would even know the difference between the two.

rams80 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I will say that the people who didn't actually appear to be bandwagoners (those who had, for example, "goat" or "throwback" instead of "buffaslug" memorabillia on) were better behaved and didn't seem to boo (or at least boo as loudly).Again, this is coming from a guy who is a Blues fan, and who only goes to Caps games because1) I don't get chances to go to NHL games when I'm at college and before because I live at least 3 hours away from St. Louis both at home and at DePauw2) I'm in DC for this one semester, and can get college discounts.3) I want to be able to tell the Grandkids I saw these guys play in person, and see some good hockey as well.

philly97flyer Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Where were all your fans before the lockout? Just curious, when the Flyers and Leafs are in their down years, and it doesnt happen often, its still full houses every night. See, this is one of the things that pisses me off about Sabres fans. Noone shows up, and now all of a sudden, they try to act like its Red Sox nation. You sit here and try and belittle the Flyers and Leafs like theyre your bitches or something, when the reality is, theres more history of success and tradition now than will EVER be in your joke of a city. Im done with making "classless" jokes on here. So, from now on, its just the facts. Frankly, I dont care if you beat us 9-1 this year. The bottom line is CHAMPIONSHIPS. We have two of them, the Leafs have 13. I dont care if they were won 30 or 40 years ago, the bottom line is they were won, and you dont have any. So if the Sabres win the Cup this year, come on here, and let me have it, because Ill deserve it. Until then, stop pretending your team and your city is God's gift to the hockey world. Ive had just about enough of the Buffalo homerism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
