nfreeman Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 Is it wrong for a grown man to love a hockey team? Because I love the Sabres. Even if it ends tonight, I love this team. I love that our coach played 10 years for our team. I love that our new owner is a smart, successful man who didn't panic, recognized that our coach and GM were working under extraordinarily difficult circumstances under prior ownership and gave them another shot to prove themselves. I love that our coach and GM don't complain about not having the same resources as some other teams -- they just devise a plan to maximize what they have and execute it. I love the new arena. I love that ticket prices are the lowest in the league. I love that we NEVER quit. I love that we got waxed by Ottawa 3 times in a row, then came back and beat them, with Dominik, 2-1 in a shootout -- and then took them out of the playoffs. I love that I will never hear the score 7-6 again without thinking about game 1 of that series. I love that this team is all about supporting each other and is never about the individual. I love that I think every single guy on the team would go through a wall to help win a game for his teammates. I love that Kalinin, under heavy criticism all year, came flying in to help McKee in a fight when McKee was off balance and in trouble. I love that a high draft pick who scored a lot of goals during the regular season doesn't get minutes in the playoffs if he doesn't earn them. I love that we beat Philly in the playoffs AGAIN. I love that my dad, my brother, my son and I all love the Sabres. and... I love that last night I dreamed that Derek Roy won game 6 for us in OT and that I think it's actually gonna happen that way. Go Sabres.
cgang Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 Dammit, why did you wait until the very end of your email to let us know how your dream went? Damn you! :)
Fronz1103 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 awesome post, it reminds me that even if the season does end just short of our goal...It doesn't mean that finishing next season one round later (successfully) is that far off of a thought... By the way....GO SABRES!!!
HtownSabresFan Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 I hope what you say is true, now try for the same in Game 7!
Kristian Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 Good post dude, really puts things in perspective.
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 I dreamed last night that we shut these pigs out 5-0, then pasted them in game 7, 6-3. :D :D A guy can dream can't he?
ThePebble19 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 I think we are in perfect position to reedeem ourselves for our 2001 meltdown against Pittsburgh. I think we will fight through and pull it out tonight, and then stick it home in Raleigh in game 7. Hello home ice advantage in the Cup Finals.
Corp000085 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 I don't know how this series will end, but i do know it won't end tonight.... game of the ages, legends are born, drury in 3OT.
