Not all Buffalo sports fans would refrain from these types of statements. As a Sharks fan, I joined the in-game discussion of the SJ-BUF game at Sabrespace, as I knew I would be sharing the board with several posters from TSW. On two seperate occasions during the game, a poster stated "I smell Skark blood!" Immediately following each of these statements, the Sharks put the puck past Miller and into the back of the net.
At another point, the following came from a poster following a great save by miller: "Heatley celebrates; Miller makes the save. Lol" As if on cue, Heatley immediately put the puck in the back of the net.
No disrespect to the particular poster, but it seems that some lessons are hard learned in Buffalo.
