HF boards can't take a spot of light Marchand teasing ( I had a run in with a mod there over what a "curse word" was.  Suffice to say he wouldn't last long in Scotland haha) Then I came here. I also like the chat here more.

And Pincy spelling Amerks for each section around the arena during playoff games after whistles.  
 

And the Pee Wee Herman tequila dance on top of the rail of a section.  
 

Amerks games used to be so fun.

Hockey takes up 95% of my “sports” time and the Sabres are the only NHL team I care about.

There is some great discussion here and I learn something every day, which makes it a good day.

I've really stepped up my GIF game by frequenting this site.  No cap.

Did the Earl of Bud appear in Rochester too?  His dance on the rail at the old Aud in Buffalo was the stuff of legend.

I come mostly to lurk and expand my perspective on the comings and goings of my favorite sports team.  I'm usually rewarded with more diverse and frequently better takes than the media pros provide - I like it when posters flesh out the nuance of the topic by expanding on each others takes with further detail and insight. 

I LOVE when two posters fundamentally disagree on an (often complex) topic (with multiple potential right answers) and exhaust all of their logical points debating who is "right" before inevitably, devolving into pettily sniping at each other

Probably more of this than most of us care to admit.

I think hockey has me still watching because for some reason, every game, every goal, seems unique to me, at least more than some other sports. 

In the NFL, there really isn't much I haven't already seen. Most great catches? I've seen something like them before. A great run?  Seen hundreds of them already.  Incredible come from behind wins?  Not too incredible after you have seen them already.  Baseball is even more like that...what haven't I seen occur on the field that I haven't witnessed before?  Now hockey.....I guess someone could say the same thing..and yes, some of those one-timer goals are carbon copies of every other one.  But over the years, It just FEELS to me that I am more likely to see something different in Hockey/the NHL than in most other sports. 

Waiting to see how a prospect develops in hockey seems more interesting to now than it does regarding a draft pick in the NFL or baseball.  I think that is why I have come to watch ALL sports less than I have in the past, but the Sabres/NHL is the one I follow the most now (where 20 years ago it was 3rd behind the NFL and Baseball)

The exact same thing. But I don’t remember who the individual was. I don’t think I was quite a teenager the last time I remember it in ROC.

I was a longtime lurker first time poster at one point, but the tank led me to post following a specific voice for levity in the dark times, the Tank.

You're here to approve of alt-right content, to disapprove of any political (sometimes it's not even political, but you see it that way) content that isn't alt-right, and to do little else.  You had the ability to be so much greater.

EDIT:  You still HAVE the ability to be so much greater.  Please exercise it.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

I have been a Sabre fan all my life.  Well, since I was 6.

I can't even remember how I found this place over 10 years ago now.

I loved it back then and I love it more now.

I love all of yous.
