I moved to Virginia when I was 5 years old and I had watched more Caps Games than Sabres, until I got directv in 1997, I'm not a Fan, but I've always watched them and I like their announcers. Even went to their Cup parade with a friend Caps fan. It was really fun. The players were really sauced after the parade and were dropping effbombs on the stage after, so funny. But the pure joy in Washington DC that day. I want that for Buffalo so badly.
I was born there but have lived in Virginia for 50 years but I still bleed Buffalo, Joe B, caps announcer, is from New York and Lacher is solid in my opinion and they always had nice things to say about the Sabres fans and especially Rick Jeanneret.
The great 8 is still a force and should keep playing if he wants to. I thought Gretzky's goal scoring record would never be broken, but it has, just such different eras, I'm sure I'll be dead when a Ovies record is broken.
