WildCard Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 This is heavily colored by blue and gold glasses. Which is fine. And, no, I have no idea who the Coyotes have. But I can guarantee they are trying to convince their fans that success is just around the corner, and I can guarantee their fans have three young players they think are the cat's pajamas. It's really not though. Sure, they have a ton of great prospects, but they don't have Jack. Only Toronto, Edmonton, and Winnipeg can be as happy as we are with their franchise cornerstone at such a young age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 This was my kids first NHL game; center ice section 117 row 9. Glad they won for their first game my kids loved it. Cool. Glad they enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our young, high end talent is much better than those teams, and much more likely to lead to long term success. Our supporting cast of not-too-old vets (O'Reilly, Okposo, and Kane) is also very good. We have so much under-utilized forward talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see how much patience you'll have if nothing pans out for the next 30 years (but I'll be truly unable to comprehend by then, most likely). You'll be in Show Me Mode, too.

And yet, so much has, hasn't it (innit)? It must be my age, the deaths in 2016 of some loved ones (who loved the Sabres). I've become much more philosophical and blissed out about my fandom. Destinations are uncertain and, once you're there, generally overrated. It's the journey that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 BREAKING NEWS: SMELL CALLS CUP OVERRATED You're (still) funny. SUBHEADLINE: SMELL INVENTS NEW ADJECTIVE "BLISSED"; UNSURE OF MEANING BUT PEOPLE THINK IT'S PROVOCATIVE! Haha - I can't claim credit there. "Blissed out" is a phrase I picked up somewheres or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 If you think about it, only one team can win a cup in a season. Even if everybody got to take turns, twice in a lifetime would be about as many as you could expect to see your team win. In reality, there is no such guarantee. Many fans of many teams will never see them win. Possibly us. If winning the cup is the only positive outcome, I think we, and millions of other fans of other teams and sports, need to reevaluate what we're doing with our time. I mean, more than we should be already. There's more to it than that, and we all know it. That having been said, winning is better than losing, but even in losses we can all find things to appreciate (for instance, Jack catching fire as the team plummets this season). I can't waste another minute of the limited number I have worrying about it, to be honest. I watch hockey, and sports in general, because I enjoy the games. Each game starts fresh and plays out, then there's another one afterwards, however the previous one ends. That having been said, I hope the Sabres absolutely stuff a metaphorical air tank in the Sharks' mouths and then hit it with a shotgun tonight, blowing their heads off with an implausible explosion. Let's go, Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
