Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 15, 2021 Report Posted March 15, 2021 Can't read it due to paywall, but for me the Canucks never lost on purpose ever, nevermind 2 years in a row. Therefore, their fans have not had it worse. End of story. 1 Quote
Brawndo Posted March 15, 2021 Report Posted March 15, 2021 Sabres Fans. The Canucks submitted all of their 50th Anniversary Jerseys to the league before the deadline Quote
Pimlach Posted March 15, 2021 Report Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I don’t have access to the article. Go back to 1970 and the Sabres got better faster and had many more star players. The Canucks have had a few strong years but overall have Sabres were much better in the first 40 years. Add in the 10 years of a Pegula and that changes things, probably evens it out a bit. The Sabres under The Pegula’s are as bad as the worst ever franchise, the Oakland Seals/California Golden Seal/Cleveland Barons. They are abysmal in every way possible and it still looks like we have years to go to be respectable Edited March 15, 2021 by Pimlach 1 Quote

They are abysmal in every way possible and it still looks like we have years to go to be respectable Despite the last decade of futility from the Pegula led Sabres, the Canucks fans still get the short end of the stick. The Canucks have made it past the 2nd round 4 times in 50 years. The Sabres have made it past the 2nd round 6 times. Canucks 3 Finals losses. Sabres 2 Finals losses. Sabres missed the playoffs 20 times. Canucks missed the playoffs 21 times. At least we got Perreault and they ended up with Tallon. The gap has definitely been closed in the last decade. Bottom line...both fanbases deserve better. 100+ years of combined hockey and not a single Cup between them.
