I have been a Sabres fan since the day my dad took me to see Gilbert's 500th goal and it was a diehard fanhood ever since. I don't think it's fair to call me a fair weather fan when I spent 20+ years in Panther land and now I am in Hurricane land. I've already said, the Sabres will always be my team, but I need to find some entertainment. It's not going to come from the Sabres camp. The Canes are kicking ass with a roster nobody thought would go this far this early...... (Botterill, take note) They have heart and they want to win. The Sabres don't give a *****. Sorry if I offend you by going to a different team. I'm not officially going to a new team, I'm just switching my focus to a team that might give me entertainment to finish off the year because the Sabres sure as helll ain't going to do it. Good for you, but hope you realize for some picking a second team is close to blasfemy. Personally I could never do it, I'd rather be miserable then watch another team.

When my home team becomes the laughing stock of the league, I turn somewhere where I can be entertained. At my age, watching pathetic post-season outcomes from the Sabres and Bills since the mid 90's gets really old after a while. Good for you being a die-hard. I'm one as well. But at some point I don't want to waste my nights watching crap. If I can't see something that entertains me, I'd rather be out trying to get laid....... not watching this garbage.

JJFIVEOH Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Schneider is 6-24-5 in his last 35 games. The Devils are a bottom 5 team. And the only goal BFLO can score is a chip in from mid-ice when Schneider wasn't paying attention. Housley and Botterill still have jobs because...............

What do we become if we begin to segregate among ourselves? Are we left to attack each over the amount of suffering one fan chooses to incur over another? What does it accomplish? In the end, are we all not fans? Or are some people better fans because they want to suffer and feel miserable over something they cannot control? 13 hours ago, JJFIVEOH said: Call me whatever you want.

While that's your prerogative, perhaps it's best to not keep jumping into threads with what seems to come across with no other purpose than to antagonize people. You can't be surprised by the response you get when you change your avatar to yet a 3rd team since you've been here and then begin to tout how you are just going to roll with whatever team can entertain you (from your prior living locations). So, if you want to give those little jabs, you should expect jabs in response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't not expect jabs....... but it seems as though you guys are pretty ultra-sensitive when it comes to criticizing the Sabres. Not sure of your age, but when I was in my 20's, I was tolerant of crappy teams. Now that I'm in my 40's and seen where all the Buffalo teams have gone....... you really can't hold it against me when I decide to support another team. Even though I have plead my allegiance to the Sabres and only going to support Sunrise and/or Raleigh for the playoff run because they were/are my home teams. I'm sorry if that offends you. When I go to watch a movie, I don't watch one that has numerous negative reviews. I watch a movie that entertains me. Sports is no different. The Sabres are a laughing stock, and have been for many years. Why should I waste my time watching garbage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should petition MSG to instead of playing the Sabres games, they just replay clips of 'Wide Right', 'Homerun Throwback', 'No Goal', 'The lottery drawing from the McDavid draft' and the various other Buffalo sports Highlights on repeat. It might be more enjoyable and less painful to watch then a Sabres Game right now....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you waste your time coming to the forum to converse with others who are wasting their time watching garbage? This is not a backhanded way of saying leave. It's a legitimate question. You are showing up, every day, to point out who you are rooting for and that the Sabres suck. I'm not offended, it's just annoying. Imagine if I broke my leg and I got to listen to you tell me, at work, at the grocery store, at the gas station, that "Wow, broken legs really suck. That must be a pain to deal with." How long do you think it's going to be before I tell you to STFU? You know the forum, you see the forum, you read the forum. I am giving you credit for recognizing that fans aren't enjoying this team. What response do you expect from people when you post what you post? Do you expect people to say, "Let's go be Caniacs for the year!" Do you expect people to say "I'm gonna root for former Sabre Bob Boughner!" My question was, why are you surprised people are responding as they do? I have my assumptions but I am asking questions because I want to know your answers to them. One last question, could you construe the willingness to jump ship to support a new team (your third) as being ultra-sensitive to the Sabres product? You've reached your limit of being able to tolerate the blight that is the Buffalo Sabres. Clearly others have not. Who's more sensitive to the Sabres? The answer is clearly you, since you've jumped ship. The only question is... are you ultra-sensitive? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, like I said in another thread. I don't care about your avatar. I will repeat, AGAIN, I am not offended by your decision to support whomever you like at a moment's notice. My questions were a bit more substantial than that and it would be great if you'd read them again. If they are unclear please let me know what I can clarify for you. If you want to ignore them and repeat yourself again addressing nothing then I'm going down the road that Weave has gone down. I will answer your question. "Does that mean anything to you? (regarding teams that are entertaining)" Yes. I watch entertaining hockey all the time. I am a fan of hockey, the sport. In any given game I generally have a team I would prefer to see win. For the context of that game, I am a fan of that team. Overall, I root for the Sabres. I prefer the Sabres to be the team that entertains me and unfortunately they have not been doing that for some time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
