Anyway, they are not only going but I can't see them losing. I say lucked because they had two top-tier goalies on the roster and that isn't often the case. And Fleury has had his ups and downs over the years but he has been on another level this year. I would feel lucky as a Knights staffer or fan. 1
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Seeing all this... I am almost wondering if they cooked lottery in Sabres favor. Yep, you heard me right. Keep the dedicated fans from pulling a Trump Deplorable and jumping ship. Sabres, TO-BFLo is League firewall. Keep the ones behind firewall happy, don't look behind curtain. Scores high in TV ratings, especially @ Cup time. We can watch and still be happy that we were thrown a bone (lottery). Lottery worked out well.

I was happy to just make the Playoffs... seems surreal. We were 500/1 to win it all at the beginning of the season, now we are on the doorstep. (this is for Exiled- Kinda like how trump had a 1% chance to win the election... makes the victories that much sweeter) The Golden Misfits are making history. 1 minute ago, ExiledInIllinois said: Seeing all this...

Who got #1 pick last year? Sabres in 1970 had to spin wheel w/Vancouver. He had more than 1% chance when reaching nomination. Nice narrative though. Way more than 1%. Like 1 in 5. Better than Sabres lottery chance.

They go up against Tampa Bay... Is the water bay, the city is Tampa, Florida. Edited May 21, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois

So why a Bison logo? Are we the only team that has a logo to match the city and not our team name?

Original Bills played in AAFC of the late 1940s, 1946-1949. Two teams were absorbed into NFL: Browns & 49ers. Baltimore Colts would fold and later emerge in NFL in a couple of years. The Bills were defunct and players absorbed into Browns/9ers. Bills would have to wait till 1960 to play in AFL. This is original Bills logo (one of them) from the AAFC days. Buffalo Bill (William) Cody: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bill From AFL... We kinda phased Buffalo Bill Cody out of logo... But he was around even in 1960s leftover from 1940s: Edited May 21, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Our hockey team from 1930s till Sabres in 1970 were the AHL Bisons. My father in law and father during that era would attend games @ Aud. They raised the roof to include the Oranges for the NHL Sabres. Bisons were a Pepsi managed product/team: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bisons_(AHL)

eball Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Wow did I read these conference finals completely wrong!

Because Ralph retained the rights and let (lets) Howard use it for free? The White Devil? I don't know why. The Bills do let Howard use their logo. Creator never copyrighted it? Bills the protector of it? You got me? White guys w/goatee raysis against Natives? Who knows. It was the era (late 1960s) when teams were scrubbing their raysis logos. Like the Philadelphia/Golden State Warriors (1967). Maybe Bills followed them?
Greybeard Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Who's the tougher opponent for the Knights to play in the finals, the Lightning or the Caps? I think it is the Caps but I don't think they are going to make it to the finals.
Dante Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 All these logos remind me of a site I buy tees from sometimes. Cool logos/apparel from teams from defunct leagues or just old leagues. Have some great stuff. https://www.ebbets.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvvDO7t6X2wIVFr3sCh3kaArqEAAYASAAEgKYyfD_BwE 1
