We are going to be good for a very long time. That is interesting......when you talk like that it it sounds like the bills situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can play this game all day. I just read on NHL.com that Detroit is the hottest team in the league right now. It’s relative to whatever time period you look at. The Rangers are hot, no doubt but most of us are Sabres fans, the Rangers and their fans can cram it up their *****.

Ol Dirty B Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hockey is a boring, crappy, niche sport. No one cares about it outside of Canada, Buffalo, and Minnesota. I wish they'd have another lock out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rebuild's success will ultimately be measured in championships won, not the speed from which the team went from terrible to competitive. Also, who gives a flying ***** about the Rangers!? Take that ***** to a NJ Jets or NJ Giants message board. ***** downstaters..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeKayAdams Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 12 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Sure. The rebuild took several different coaches and GMs jobs to be successful. I'm sure that was all part of the plan. But you are right. If the Sabres won the Stanley cup within in the next three years or so no one will care how long they sucked ass to get to that point. It certainly wasn't part of the plan. But the incompetence from the past two seasons allowed us to draft Mitts and Dahlin. So in the end, maybe it will work out? The Penguins and Blackhawks dynasties, for example, happened because those teams were awful before drafting their superstars. Yes, for me a single Stanley Cup will definitely make the awfulness of the past 7 years worth it. If you polled every Sabres fan on the planet, I'm willing to bet that 99% of them will agree with me. If anything, the past 7 years will have made a future Stanley Cup even more delicious. Ideally, an NHL team wouldn't have to tank and suck for a while in order to build a Cup-contending roster. But the nature of drafting talent in the NHL (drafting 18-years olds vs 22-year olds in the NFL) makes it a lot more difficult to do it the "noble" way. If you look back at the history of the Buffalo Sabres, they have never really bottomed out for any real length of time before now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrb1979 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Wow Its sad that so many fans of the Buffalo football team know nothing about the hockey team from the same city. All I can say is they are missing out on a team that scores, wins games and are in a playoff spot. 9 hours ago, Ol Dirty B said: Hockey is a boring, crappy, niche sport.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I was gonna wait till the All-Star Break to see if they were gonna be worth buying the package, but after the 5-4 start, I said eff it. Needless to say, I haven't regretted the decision thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
