Jrb1979 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I have always wondered why so many of the older Bills fans never got into the Sabres? Hockey is one of the most exciting sports to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In WNY the Sabres are a big deal for all ages but so many posters on this board aren't locals and don't have any ties to the Sabres Edited September 8, 2018 by BillsPride12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey is one of the most exciting sports to watch. A lot of the things I don't like about other sports aren't found in Hockey. It's one of the major reasons I have devoted more time to it.

Way to jump to ridiculous conclusions. I never jump to a conclusion. I said: "Please, pretty please, don't say... ...Don't say culture or baby mamas..." I just have a strong opinion on that subject when people argue it. Thank you for that not being the reason. And nice cop out "that I don't deserve an answer." Very weak. That response does add doubt you are telling the truth. But so be it. You don't have to get defensive, take things personal because I bring up thorny issues. You'd think you'd want to clear the air rather then leave doubt. I am not sure what to make of your reply. There is nothing to get defensive about. You should just say: "No and explain your argument." My response was not intended to personnally offend you. Many people think hockey culture is different. I tend to disagree, I feel it's the same as other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabers have an interesting season coming up. They have pretty good talent I hope it comes together for them. But it's not only to watch him I have never been to the new arena in Buffalo. Just the old Aud. I was in love with that place still my favorite place to watch hockey ever. Edited September 10, 2018 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring 60 got to watch Bobby Orr growing up and I swear I see some of the skills Orr had in Dahlin. I was at the Devils prospect game as well. Dahlin's skating and puck sense are insane--he didn't simply skate, he hovered. He's bigger than I expected as well (and has the frame to put on more muscle as he matures). The Sabres are going to be fun to watch this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're like me, thinking of it as the new arena.............Last year, there was all this talk about how it needs all this work and is old. I'm like what - it's the new arena!

Sports (all) have the same philandering culture. Hockey is no different then the other sports: https://www.thelocal.se/20050214/965 "In 2005, Tallinder, and fellow Swedish hockey players Kristian Huselius and Andreas Liljawere investigated on suspicion of sexual exploitation. In March 2005, all three players were suspended from the Swedish national team for one year, with Huselius and Tallinder being released by Swedish club Linköping. Lilja was not suspended by Swedish club Mora, but decided to take a break for the remainder of the rest of the season. Initially police had dropped their investigation within two days 11 February 2005 when a 22-year-old woman accused the trio of raping her 9 February, because of a lack of evidence. However, a special prosecutor reopened the case in March, leading to the suspensions. Tallinder and the others were cleared in June of that year." ~Wikipedia: Henrik Tallinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
