Sabres Fan in NS

I probably will never watch the show, but I am in love with Wednesday ... I love The Cramps too.

Not a fan atoll of the SO. The OT is okay to see if a team gets the extra point if the NHL must. I am in favour of the old system where if a game ends in a tie so be it. Both teams get a point and call it a day. The Wild are a good team (I loved their uniform colours last night) and so are the Sabres. A tie between them is a fair result.

That Quinn guy is a player, eh.

When I was in college we would watch WWF on network tv on Saturday night as a pub crawl primer. Free !! No pay per view. I remember the very first Wrestlemania. Hulk Hogan and Mt. T. and a whole bunch of others ... 9 fights. Andre the Giant and Big John Stud tried to body slam each other. 1985 ... what a beaut !!

Again, the Bills are top 3 AFC and top 5 NFL. All teams have issues, except maybe the Bengals right now, but they lost the big game last year. They have some injuries and don't seem to have much of a running game. Anyway, the Bills issus are not as serious as some here think. They are not in cap trouble really. It can be managed. JA did them a big favour as Mahomes did in KC and Burrow will do. They need to be smart and play every move right. Just like every other top team has to in order to stay there. They will be in contention for the duration of JA's tenure with the team.

I'll just leave this here ... https://www.dunnsfamous.com/en/

I never lived in the area, but my cousin married a Canadian from Welland and lived there for years. She was from Buffalo originally. She was a big Sabre fan so maybe she found other Sabre fans in the area. There were alot of them at least in the 70s to about 1982 ... it all seemed to go downhill after Bowman took the Sabres from a very nearly cup cusp in the 1980 playoff to a nothingberger in the early 80s to about 1990 something when they ran him outta town and brought in that Edmonton guy who tried his best to turn the Sabres into his Oiler image, but with all the old and washed up guys and not Mess or Gretz. Paging @woods-racer to the @Eleven bashing on Erie, PA thread.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling for us wyld. You are a *real wild child* and we love you for that. This should be a good one. The Wild are good, but not like they were when they first signed Parise and Suter all those years ago. Time flys by. MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !!

As a teen (13 to 16 - too young to drive ... things were different then ... I would not let my 13 year old loose in downtown Toronto now) we would take the TTC (bus and subway) from suburbia to Young Street at Bloor in The Great Satan. 'Sam the Record Man' had their main shop in the whole country just a few steps south towards dowtown and the lake. The new releases were available there at midnight on release day and first available anywhere in the country ... everywhere else hd them the next morning when record shops opened. It was a tradition for a bunch of us, but we soon found that our tastes in music changed in the next few years. We would still do the tradition, but it became more a hanging out thing on many occasions since we were not all there for the new release. Great times. I turned 15 in 1979. That was the year I discovered The Clash.

In my youth and early years of the Sabres my experience was the opposite from what I remember. I am close to 60 so seems like the Sabres shine in the area probably went back to the Leaves when the Sabres run with The French Connection ended in the early 80s.

Seems like your boy there is his own worst enemy.

Jack's biggest problem was the bad injury to his neck and some others that have kept him from playing for a big chunk of time. He is probably very rarely 100%. When he is he id a dynamic player. He was also setback by RaKru, as was everybody else.

Erie County, NY is definately all Sabres. Big time !! Erie, PA not so much ... It's been a long day, Taro. At the end of a long week. Leading into another long day tomorrow and another after that. Followed by yet another long week.

Good man. Where do you find the time to dig all this up ?? The Sabres are good.

Thanks for all your effort last night. A job well done. Me thinks the Sabres should take you on the road with them as some kind of charm thingie or other.

I would say Erie, PA and that thingie that sticks up there to the lake is firmly Sabre country. Extreme southern Ontario / Niagra pretty much do everything possible to distance themselves as far as possible in every way from The Great Satan. I would agree with Weave about Rochester being the line in NYS. Probably top to bottom. With pockets to Syracuse. Beyond that a few. There are pockets of resistance everywhere still to this day. Including, but not limited to Northern Ontario, Winterpeg, the far reaches of BC, at least 2 in New Scotland, 1 in Old Scotland, at least 1 in Western Europe, and some all over the vast USA ...

He would be a good addition. A true *power forward*, which is lacking right now. I don't think any Sabre on the roster or coming soon will fill the role as well as Timo. I watched him in Halifax. He is big and has a good scoring touch too. I'm with Inky ... the price will be too high unless SJ really are done with him. Then the price may fall a bit. Not many teams could take on his QO at this point. I don't think he will command $10M on a long term deal, but tht has to be a consideration too. I don't think anything is imminent. This may be an offseason thing. If everything works out then I would like to have him in the Sabres, but at the end of the day I don't think it will happen. No.

The Wild obviously didn't have in the right situation either. The Sabres got him for nothing except a few bucks, which doesn't matter. I'd sign him today ... 2 years $5M

It's fake, eh !! ***** Awesome way to get us started, my friend. I agree that Winnipeg is beautiful. I love to joke about it as most non-Winterpegers and non-Mosquitopegers do, but it is very nice. Not quite as stuck up as Ontarians stuck up in The Great Satan or Ottawa (The Slightly Lesser Satan) and not any where near as rednecked as places further west. Right smack dab in the middle of this vast Great White North. Not quite the laid back and easy goingness of either West or East coast, especially the Atlantic. And just a tad warmer than the spectacular North coast. Very nice, indeed. ***** MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! He's a good looking dude. Rather scruffy right now, but he cleans up rather nicely. Since *The Slug* is signed I'll allow it.

More like 40+ years, but yup.

Maybe Timo can park his hardnosed ass in front of the net ??
