It's the reality of a large league, without saying anything of the Sabres' competence. Sure. But I'm not going to waste any time celebrating a bunch of second place finishes like people do with the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read TBD a lot, and I never see it celebrated without a heavy dose of hollowness because they never finished the job. I see far more discussions about how painful it was that Marv let them party all week before 25 and stay so unfocused than I do talk about how awesome and great everything was The frustration and pain is far more prevalent in any Super Bowl team discussion there than how epic things were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hasek years? You must be a lot of fun at parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I'd rather have 4 consecutive cup losses and then a win, rather than 4 consecutive non-playoffs/earlier playoff exits followed by a cup win. If we are going to lose, the further we make it, the better, in my view. I'm with Flagg that I take the 4 straight losses in the final scenario if it's offered right now, because it is likely to represent significantly more success than what will happen in actuality, realistically.

It would also be more fun than any span in Buffalo sports history, save the Super Bowl run, with which it'd likely be tied in level of fun-ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mark of the dreariness and numbness of the recent Sabres that I'd welcome the emotion that comes along with playoff heartbreak, to be sure. They say indifference is more harmful than hatred, in the end, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
