PTS Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Tommy, Old buddy, old pal. You saved my team during a time I didn't even think it was worth saving. You made me a fan again, and a season ticket holder to boot. You steadied a team that was 20 minutes away from bankruptcy to a team that was 20 minutes away from going to the Stanley Cup finals which I'm convinced we would have won. Then fate finally caught up to us. Shortly after, I immediately left for Germany for the 2006 World Cup. I dropped hockey like a bad habit because I couldn't stand to watch two lesser teams compete for what has eluded us for so long. Remarkably, I was fine until this week when I decided to watch . It brought back all kind of emotions but one primary school of thought: if you bring back our team, we will win next year. There is no doubt about it. So I am going to ask you for one more big favor. Please -- just for one season -- splurge on this team and keep it together. This is our year and I'd hate for $10 million dollars stop us for getting what we've dreamed about since 1970. We deserve it. Sincerely, Sabres Fan #18690 p.s. Oh, one more favor, please dump that horrible logo and bring back the original.
bob_sauve28 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Wouldn't that be great if he just said, 'f**k it, its only money' LOL, We can dream!
SDS Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 to be honest, I don't think it is unreaosnable him to have seasons for him to spend to the limit when the iron is hot and to sell off when the team is cold.... as long as we accept the fact that not every year is "our year", I see nothing wrong with this approach.
Hawerchuk Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 I second that. Like 10million times!!! LETS GO BUFFALO!!
Spandrel Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Man, watching that video just ripped open some wounds that had just started healing. It is even worse now knowing that this might be the closest we get for a while if we start losing the pieces to this team.
gregkash Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 SPandrel SHUT THE HELL UP. What is with the negativity. That video made me tingle Can't wait for next season.
apuszczalowski Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 I got something in my eye. You too, It ummm, must be, ummm, some dirt from my keyboard :unsure:
nfreeman Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Awesome video. Hallellujah I love this team.
TM8-PL16 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 WOW.... several things flew into my eyes during that... damn dust. they should show that to all our un-signed players... and then again to everyone right before the season starts... I CAN'T wait for hockey season!!!!!!!!!!!
DaFan Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 WoW! Double WoW! Lots and lots of dust in the air. 'Cmon Tommy Boy... you can do it!
mphs mike Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Great video but for the first time in my life I was ticked off, not ecstatic, when #48 scored! I hope my feelings change over the next couple of weeks when I see who will be coming to training camp and wear a Buffalo Sabres uniform.
elcrusho Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Here is another Tribute.... 05-06 Tribute LMFAO EVEN GOT THE PETERES GOLF SWING...
Corp000085 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Wow... I lived those 2 months... I was at some of the games... I remember the emotions... But, i still can't even describe it in words. All i can say is that i'm glad i'm passionate about the Buffalo Sabres (and Bills, although its been longer for them...)
inkman Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Maybe it's just me, but I can't watch that video.
Eleven Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Maybe it's just me, but I can't watch that video. It's not just you.

It just seemed like the SAbres were a team of destiny last year. Oh so close. :(
Stoner Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Now I gotta watch the damn thing. Everyone else is balling over it, I might as well go Dick Vermeil along with everyone else.
bruceleeroy Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 i dont post alot on here but after watching that video i have to. Frankly I love this TEAM, i dont care about the names on the back all i care about is the logo on the front. If we dont keep Briere that would suck but you know what oh well bye, enjoy the money we would all do it so i dont blame him. The only thing that matters is that im watching them next year no matter what and I always have. From Doug Bodger to Daniel Briere I have always supported them I just wish the owners of this team would realize how many of the fans are just like me, and spend a little to give us, the fans, exactly what we have wanted for over 30 years. GO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BuffalOhio Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Wow, that black and white video was awesome. I had chills, goosebumps, and even got all choked up over it. God darn it I love this team. What a thrilling season that was.
sabregoats Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Going into the playoffs I was just happy at how much fun the regular season had been, and then April and May happened. Those videos represent the most fun I have ever had following a Buffalo sports team, we didn't win the cup, but man that was a great time.
Fronz1103 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 Man what a damn great video, it seems like such a long time ago for me....seeing the video from the halls of The RBC was awesome!! my hat off to those fans chanting 'Let's Go Buffalo!' Such a great hockey season, such a likealbe team, and i don't think us, as a fan base could ahve gotten anymore attached and caught up over our team. I think game seven seems so far past because for me my worries shifted quickly from winning a cup to worring about next year and hoping to God we keep this team together as much as possible. As if those worries weren't enough, a jersery is seemingly about to go from respectable to laughable. The red and black was just beginning to collect very good memories, and to be honest w/ you all, I will be sad to see them go after this amazing season. Yes blue and gold were great, but what do the colors of our jersey represent w/ a half-assed logo? It's the treasured history w/ a lousy attempt to re-invent the 'face' of our team. Surprizing to myself, after thinking about this... If i had the choice between the current black and red, and the proposed blue and gold jerseys w/ a slug, I would choose the Black and Red in a heartbeat. The 2005-2006 Sabres team made me love everything about the Sabres again, and I believe i was beginning to really appreciate the history that was becoming black and red.
a4u2fear10 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 that black/white video i made, glad everyone liked it, im making one soon on 'celebrations' and ot goals over last 30 years, im a new member
