It's obvious because it is wholly attributable to the psychology of fans who identify as "long suffering" which makes it easy to find insult and injury where it doesn't exist and never has. Some fans take the word "rivalry" far too seriously. These are the kind of fans who would actually have preferred Gilbert to say, "We hate Leafs fans" just because their own hatred of the Leafs is so intense. Think of how stupid that is. Really. On any point of the spectrum between the universal code of hospitality to good sportsmanship, it is a childish attitude. GO SABRES!!!

Again, the idea of outrage over the statement "We love Leaf fans" is childish. Especially in the context of Gilbert's role in charge of community relations. Absurd, really. GO SABRES!!!

The "why"? The "why" of "what", exactly? Is it the "why" would the Sabres pursue hockey fans of all stripes to attend games? Or Is it the "why" would Sabres fans think that is a sign of disloyalty? I submit the answers to both are obvious. GO SABRES!!!

The Sabres have been aggressively marketing to Southern Ontario since their inception. Where has all this outrage been all that time or have Sabres fans always assumed that only Sabre fans inhabitant that region?

The idea that business logic and loyalty to the fan base are mutually exclusive concepts is lost on me. Entirely. It's entirely feasible, indeed logical, that the Sabres would seek to maximize revenues AND build a winning team on parallel tracks. Welcoming fans of all hockey stripes is part of the equation, regardless of the misguided and naive notion that by doing so, the Sabres are not being loyal to their fan base. It's a childish notion, actually. GO SABRES!!!

Nice to see. Kid was on a tear before he went down. Hope he regains his form soon. GO SABRES!!!

Agree entirely. That body lean he put on Cowan to set it up was manly. GO SABRES!!!

Are you suggesting the bottom line shouldn't be the bottom line? GO SABRES!!!

Forgive my ignorance, but why didn't Chychrun make Canada's recent World Junior team? GO SABRES!!!

Yeah, the Sabres' front office, in response to a foreign travel writer's inquiries, should do all it can to insult out of town fans rather than welcome them. WTF? PA, I have grown to respect and sometimes rather enjoy your intellect and wit over the years here, but sometimes you jump the rails. And your naivete regarding Harbor Center is astonishing. Gilbert's polishing of the southern Ontario apple has more to do with Canadian hockey moms and dads and tourney participants booking rooms for hockey tourneys than it does with Leafs fans coming to a handful of games. GO SABRES!!!

Thank-you! GO SABRES!!!

If the Wideman incident is attributable to head trauma, then the entire Flames' training and medical staff was derelict in their duties since they saw fit to allow him not to miss a single shift afterwards. Ridiculous. GO SABRES!!!

Dar dar puck battle. Dar dar compete level. Dar Dar.

Tessio was always the smarter one. RIP Salvatore.

We are gonna kick the ever loving crap out of the Rangers tonight. We are gonna go off on a national tv stage. 5-1, good guys. GO SABRES!!!

Relativity applies. GO SABRES!!!

I need a break from these bums. They all suck. How the phuck is that even possible? Blind luck itself oughta net at least one in three plus games.

We are not very good at the hockey. GO SABRES!!!

Great. Another 4 minute penalty.

Deflected twice, the second time off of Pysyk's hand right in front of him. Not on Lehner at all. No phuckin' five on five goal support. Again. Our goalies have been getting screwed in that regard all season. GO SABRES!!!

That's not on Lehner. Not at all. GO SABRES!!!

You just had a feeling, right? GO SABRES!!!

Facillo huge. GO SABRES!!!

Stay as far away from this problem child as possible. "Problem child' being the operative phrase. GO SABRES!!!

Did you remember to grab the cannolis?
