Crusader1969 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Openly rooting for Sabres to lose.....wow. Are you upset when they win? Do you cheer when opponents score and boo when Sabres score? Im Openly rooting for them to lose and yes I will be disappointed when they win (even against the leafs). I also will watch all the Islanders games and hope they lose, all the flames games and hope they win. Even last night I watched the Leafs game and fist pumped when they scored late to tie it up and I HATE the Leafs. (unfortunately mtl scored even later to win). Call me a bad fan if you want. All i know is I desperately want to see the Sabres win the Cup and if that means 1 more year of the Sabres sucking - so be it Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Anyone else a little concerned about Meszaros and Benoit as a pair? I'm not sure where Nikita should fit in this lineup. I hope Rienhart and Hodgson can find some chemistry that i haven't seen yet. The Islanders aren't going to finish last. They are going to finish 23 and win the lottery for us. I'm not concerned about them I would be more concerned about Weber and Risto. As most know I'm not really a fan of Weber. Seems like he always on for more goals against than anyone else on the team. Im Openly rooting for them to lose and yes I will be disappointed when they win (even against the leafs). I also will watch all the Islanders games and hope they lose, all the flames games and hope they win.

All i know is I desperately want to see the Sabres win the Cup and if that means 1 more year of the Sabres sucking - so be it I absolutely love the Sabres and it's hard and I mean hard to go through this rebuild. Like others said the rebuild should have taken place the year McKinnon came out. Last year was a weak draft class and even though I wanted Reinhart I still believe he isn't ready. I think the additions of Gorges, Gionta and getting Moulson back, plus Stewart and Stafford in contract years puts us out of the top 2 picks which would really suck. Islanders I believe will be a playoff team or damn close to it. I still think Buffalo, Carolina, Florida, Arizona, Calgary, and Winnipeg if they move Kane or Buff will all have lottery balls. My favorites are Arizona and Carolina right now. Quote
kishoph Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 What a long drawn out off-season it seemed to be. I'm ready for some hockey. GO SABRES !! Quote
plenzmd1 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Just to make it more interesting, i got both offences sucking tonight. i got $25 to win $72.50 that neither team scores 3 goals in regulation. Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Well I am off for day. I hope to see a Buffalo win spearheaded by Ristolainen and Reinhart. Lets Go BUFFALO!!! Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 So, this thread is already longer than most of last year's were after games towards the end of the year. Just an observation. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Call me a bad fan if you want. . . . So, this thread is already longer than most of last year's were after games towards the end of the year. Just an observation. i'm more interested to see how game-81 GTD threads compare from 2014 and 2015. Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 i'm more interested to see how game-81 GTD threads compare from 2014 and 2015. You are gonna have a lot of pissed off fans probably because they are gonna play themselves out of the top two pick! Quote
Trettioåtta Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 You are gonna have a lot of pissed off fans probably because they are gonna play themselves out of the top two pick! Some predictions put the Sabres as the 8th seed... Quote
TheMatrix31 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Some predictions put the Sabres as the 8th seed... That would be fantastic. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 That would be fantastic. :beer: Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Some predictions put the Sabres as the 8th seed... That would be a disaster if that happened. It would be another pick in the teens and a first round exit. Quote
nucci Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 That would be a disaster if that happened. It would be another pick in the teens and a first round exit. So you don't want the Sabres to make the playoffs? Outstanding. Quote
Hoss Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 If this team makes the playoffs because guys like Stafford, Stewart, Meszaros and Benoit have career years prior to entering the offseason without extensions and not on the backs of the young guys I'll be annoyed. If this team makes the playoffs because Hodgson, Myers, Risto, Girgs, Grigs and others play outstanding then I'll be ecstatic. Quote
TheMatrix31 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Actually, I'm cool with a playoff berth no matter who's contributing. You know, because we watch hockey to be entertained and, you know, you can't win if you're not in and, you know, after years of being horrendous even a "first round exit" would be fantastic for our young, young team. Listen, if Tim Murray's management is as good as everyone thinks it is, then it doesn't matter where we pick-----we'll get the right guy. You do not foster a winning culture by losing. It's simply impossible. You'd think Buffalo Sports Fans would realize that by now. Edited October 9, 2014 by TheMatrix31 Quote

It's simply impossible. You'd think Buffalo Sports Fans would realize that by now. This team making the playoffs would be nuanced and in a good way. If THIS Sabres team makes the playoffs, it's because they overachieved. Even if they lose in the first round it's okay, because it means they have potential to repeat. That's a lot better than a team that underachieves, comes in 8th, and then gets bounced in the first round. I will always prefer an overachieving team. Quote
Brawndo Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Johansen's one of my favorite young players in the game. That said, he should've been working his ass off while his agent worked his off for that contract. I would love to see TM put together a package of picks and prospects to acquire him Quote
Hoss Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I would love to see TM put together a package of picks and prospects to acquire him It'd cost an Armia and a leg. Edited October 9, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 It'd cost an Armia and a leg. Pfffft I'd pay that, and sacrifice my leg! I'M SO EXCIIIIIIIIIITED Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Benoit's a center....Finally, we can fill that hole Gerbe left Quote
frissonic Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 See, this is nice. The player announcement last night for the Flames took *forever*, and the guy announcing the players was just an absolute moron about it. I half expected him to start belting "ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEE....?!???!??!!??!?!??!?!?!?" Thankfully, it never came to that. I'd probably be eardrum-less. Quote
Hoss Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Kind of annoying that the Sabres website and announcer have guys out of position. Quote
inkman Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 I would love to see TM put together a package of picks and prospects to acquire him The word package really needs to be filtered on thus board. Quote
