PerreaultForever Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 Huh? How is it stressful? Stress is such an overused word these days. There's zero stress sitting on your butt watching a hockey game. ZERO. But in terms of relative angst I can't see it with the Sabres either. Stress (even in that lightweight definition) would imply some sort of cardiac kids thing where all your games are 1 goal games, OT, everything is close. Sabres are definitely not that. 1 Quote

JoeSchmoe Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 (edited) We're for sure #1, but I'd put the Oilers at #2. Having the stars they have, with their lack of success would be pretty stressful. Knowing McDavid's likely bolting when he's a UFA would hang over your head pretty badly. Edit: I just read the criteria closer and I guess they're only looking at variances in goal differential across periods. Looks like that's just another stressor to throw on the pile. In the grand scheme of things, this rates pretty low in terms of what stresses a Sabres fan. Edited March 18 by JoeSchmoe 1 Quote

I’m quoting you but it’s like no one read the article/post I thought it self-explanatory at first too but there’s actually an interesting variable at play, it’s about a team’s goal differential swinging wildly from one period to the next it’s specifically about this year’s team Quote

We start slow because we are not well coached, we are often unprepared for the specifics of the opposition, and as well, the opposition comes at us harder and if/when they get a lead they coast thinking "it's the Sabres, easy night". We have a good third because we are young and fast so the opposition on back to backs and road trips can be tired and/or they get caught napping with the lead and we play loose and attack and that's our strength. It's not stressful. It is to be expected. Quote

Alaska John Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 It isn't stressful to cheer for the Sabres. It's masochism. Tease me, tease me, never please me. Quote
