apuszczalowski Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 The only thing so far that has made me upset watching these games is having to watch Briere put in a goal every night. I knew it was going to happen and it just sucks.... Atleast we got a good return for him when we gave him to the Flyers :oops:
sjb012 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Most embarrassing moment as a Sabres fan to listen to the moron fans who were in the arena last night booing. Booing when winning a playoff game 1-0???????????? What is wrong with some of these fans? Absolutely ridiculous. I had my face in my hands on the power play too, but to boo them???? Something I would expect in Florida, Phoenix or Atlanta where the fans don't have a clue. Brutal move people who participated in that last night, flat embarrassing.

Have to agree here...while that PP was beyond abysmal, I wouldn't be verbally expressing my feelings. I find it funny that anyone boos their home team during the playoffs when there are millions of fans of 15 specific teams who would be loving to boo their team during the playoffs right now. Sorry, Phoenix/Winnipieg...make that millions of fans of 16 specific teams.

Right, because the NATURAL REACTION in a high-charged, emotional environment like a playoff hockey game and when your team looks like ass and is wasting an opportunity is to cheer them on: "Oh look, they're stinking up the ice - what a wasted opportunity - YAYAY! I LOVE YOU SABRES! GO! GO! GO! You screw up that 5 minute major gift from the Hockey Gods! YAY!" :wacko: And like no one watching the game on TV was swearing up a storm at the play at that time. Everyone was happy and cheering and grateful to be in the playoffs. :rolleyes:

That booing would take place in any NHL arena during a PP that was as bad as the one last night. The only place where booing would not have occurred would be in the hockey markets where some fans don't know good hockey from bad hockey. Even Lindy said he would have been booing! Put your pom poms away, take off the rose colored glasses and call a spade a spade.
CallawaySabres Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 winning 1-0 in the third period after playing their hearts out for almost 4 games in a row - totally unacceptable to boo during that PP...totally
Weave Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 If it is OK and desired to have irrational exhuberance for a playoff team then it is just as OK to boo a playoff team that is playing lousy hockey. And those 5 minutes were truly lousy. The playoffs are charged with emotion. Sometimes it is positive emotion (cheering over things that maybe aren''t cheer-worthy during the regular season like a routine save or zone clear) and sometimes it is negative emotion (booing a poor PP during an otherwise decent game). Bottom line is, the fans boo because they are emotionally invested. I'd rather have emotionally invested fans that boo occassionally than fans that aren't invested in the game and only cheer to fit in with the rest of the crowd. Cuz the latter fans are the ones that gave the arena the nickname of "library" around here.

Braedon Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 winning 1-0 in the third period after playing their hearts out for almost 4 games in a row - totally unacceptable to boo during that PP...totally What did you do during that power play? I was home screaming my head off at the TV. Absolute worst man advantage that I can remember. What's the difference between booing and screaming a bunch of expletives?

My point is that I don't see the need to get my BP up over something like this - it's all a matter of perspective. Believe me...I was angry at the TV, too, but I'm not going to get myself irate over something like this. Look at it this way - they killed 5 minutes off the clock and saved their energy for the 15-minute prevent defense. :thumbsup:
LabattBlue Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 How dare the Canucks fans boo their team last night. Don't they know that booing only hurts the team? Hasn't their owner come out and lectured the media and fans about being positive? :rolleyes:
shrader Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 I don't like this thread title anymore. I'd like to see plenty of booing at home tonight.

eball Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 I hope there's a lot of booing of the home team tonight.

stenbaro Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 It does not help and the team has made that clear.... Really????? I booed damn hard after that five minute abortion of a powerplay!!!! Should we wipe theyre candy ass too for them????? Its a damn given right too cheer or boo as a paying ticketholder whenever a fan pleases too... Come on...When they play great cheer em on when they suck let know it...Thats why were called fans!!!!!
CallawaySabres Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Posted April 22, 2011 ...and season ticket holders are the ONLY people who should be called "die hard fans." Of which I am - so I guess it will be one of those agree to disagree. Fans can boo and that is fine but the timing of that one on Wed (I believe) is bush.....
Braedon Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 Fixed that for ya. Sizzle, did WGR really come out and question the booing? I'm not in the area and only catch them periodically on Flycast.
... Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 Sizzle, did WGR really come out and question the booing? I'm not in the area and only catch them periodically on Flycast. Oh yes.
Braedon Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 Oh yes. Balls. Forgive me for not investing in the pantheon of hockey knowledge known as 550.
nobody Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 I love having that connection to listen to - but even I had to turn it off yesterday with all their booing of the booers.
