Stoner Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 Almost exactly 10 years ago, I created a thread that asked people to associate one word with each decade of Sabres hockey. https://www.sabrespace.com/community/topic/16348-four-decades-of-sabres-hockey/ In almost the blink of an eye, here we are again. (And because there was a Year Zero for Sabres hockey, we don't have to debate whether this is truly the end of a Sabres' decade. Right?) Picking up where I left off: 70s: Fever 80s: Letdown 90s: Close 00s: Change (would go with Taro's Letdown if I could go back in time) 10s: Stupid Your turn. Quote

Went with "rollercoaster", not letdown. 11 nailed this past decade, but just to choose something different will go with Groundhogs-day. Quote

MODO Hockey Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 Just now, Eleven said: I thought you were coming this year. You’re not? Honestly thinking of staying home, i want it to mean something more than just some restaurant visits and sight seeing. Been there done that. Quote

I think my brain got fried. Yep, that's my problem. Quote
Pimlach Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 Looks like fun. 70s: Fever 80s: Disappointing 90s: Close 00s: Inconsistent 10s: Misconceived 2 Quote
Stoner Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Posted December 28, 2019 We could toss in what you think the 20s word will be. I'll go with Stupid or Dynasty. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 So many to choose from. Suffering is a good one. Idiotic too. Frustrating. Many others. I will go with my fall-back option of ... misguided. As for the 20s. I am hoping for Dynasty, but will settle for Just One (and no, not cusp) Quote
Weave Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 I think it has to be suffering. Coined by Darcy in 2010. Lasting through 2020 (at least). It really has defined the decade. Quote

It really has defined the decade. It was actually in 2013 that that defining word was uttered; but it sums up everything post tanking decision and also works for pre-tanking events from this decade such as Miller-Lucic, Vanek-Boychuk, and Pominville-less game 7 vs Filly.

Stupid wins. Unless 6K is amazing and unless they turn over about 6 forwards, this team will waste Jack's years. And I don't see both of those conditions being met. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted December 30, 2019 Report Posted December 30, 2019 70s: Beginning or French Connection 80s: Forgettable 90s: Hasek 2000: Lockout 2010: Suffering (as promised) Quote
