Sabres73

The win doesn't matter, because some of the posters have already decided the Sabres aren't making the playoffs this year. Despite now being 3 measly points out with 36 games left in the regular season.

I was 9 years old in 1973, growing up in small town Saskatchewan. I was already a dedicated Hab-hater, so when the Sabres made the playoffs for the first time I was cheering for them to knock of the favoured Canadiens. They didn't, but it was an exciting series, very impressionable on my young self. So they became my team, and I haven't wavered since. It was very common for Sask folks to cheer for a variety of team as we didn't have our own team, we were where NHL players came from 😉 The Sabres of course had exciting and successful teams in those early 70's years, and there were many dedicated Sabres and Flyers fans that came about from both teams mid-70's successes. My only Sabre jersey is my beloved #7 Martin. edit - I just realized this will be my 50th year cheering for the boys in blue and gold. Jeezus I'm getting up there

They're going to be quiet tonight since Peterka and Quinn are sitting in the press box

Canucks chase the Pens goalie out of the net with a 3 nothing lead seven minutes in. We have an opportunity tonight to get close to that wildcard spot. Come on boys!

Penguins down 2 zip early to the Canucks. Lose Pens lose!

100% - also known as our real uniforms, not the trend-hopping 90's jerseys that are not our colours.

I'll take what our GM has done with the team since he's had the job and sticking to the long term plan over random internet expert's opinion, but thanks for playing.

It's a good thing the genius freaking out over one game are not the GM.

"hockey is more than a one man team" Which is why the brilliant signing of TT to a great contract benefits the team by freeing up money. Duh. A lot of use of the word "idiot" in this thread. Look in the mirror.

What an ignorant comment. Typical.
