PerreaultForever Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 This is the game that should delight all the "new hockey" people. Should be fast, very fast, all offense, lots of shots and less than average physicality. Game probably comes down to goaltending. But you never know. If either team comes out flat, they will lose. 1 1 Quote

For me though, it's because I absolutely LOVE when my kids get excited and want to watch the games with me. I took my son to the Bills game last night and I know those moments will become fewer and fewer as college looms in a couple years. I so desperately want them to see playoffs with me before it's too late. THAT is what brings out the dark side when these guys lose (after so many years of them seeing it.)

Thorner Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 This thread is funny becauseโฆ oh how the turn tables, things of that nature We often see conversation revolving around fans being chastised for not being happy enough about the wins we do manage to scrape together. โShut up and be happy about what you getโ the tone, sometimes. Questioning the realness of fans. This is sort of the inverse โlook, maybe you arenโt angry enough about the losses.โ Itโs probably fair game in the name of balance, Iโd say Perhaps that brings the board together: perhaps it illuminates the fact that no one in their right mind would be posting on the board the amount WE, all of us, do, if we didnโt, really, all want the same things deep down Perhaps the real wins are the friends weโve made here along the way 3 1 Quote
CallawaySabres Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 The way I see it is there are 4 teams in the top 8 right now that should drop out while 4 teams replace them... Columbus, Detroit, Philly and Montreal to be replaced with Florida, Carolina, Ottawa and hopefully Buffalo 4 Quote

SabresBaltimore Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 Everyone is entitled to be a fan in their own way. Get angry. Don't get angry. Whatever. It's a game. Telling other fans they are doing it wrong is just a waste of time. Personally I just don't subscribe to the getting too angry over losing. I used to when I was younger, but the last few years have put things in perspective. I just don't want to live with that negativity anymore. I will always hope we win. I want the team to improve every year. I want ownership and management and coaching all to be the best it can be and finally get a cup. But at this point, I just want to enjoy the ride. If a season without a stanely cup is a wasted season, then basically every season will be a wasted season for most teams in the league. So when the Sabres win, I'm happy. Even if it's an ugly win, or lucky or whatever. And when they lose I'm bummed and shut down the forums for a bit until things have cooled off. Then I gear up for the next one. It's one the reasons that despite being a member for 11 years, I haven't been around much. There wasn't much to be happy about. So there wasn't much I wanted to talk about. I've still watched all the Sabres games, but when they were terrible, I didn't want to make the suffering worse by complaining about them with a bunch of other people. 1 4 Quote
