Another Fan Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) I check in from time to time on the Sabres thread to see how the Sabres are doing. While not a Sabres fan I like to see them do well. But I never really see mention of other fans of other hockey teams. Im from New Jersey where I grew up rooting for the Devils. I still follow them to an extent but don’t watch the games. Any Devils or Rangers fans here pumped for this series coming up? To me it seemed like it was a much bigger deal in the 90s. But maybe that’s because I don’t have my finger on the pulse of it Edited April 17, 2023 by Another Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this as a Sabres fan I wouldn't mind seeing Jersey win it this year simply because I'd love to see Lindy win a Cup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrW Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 As a German, my second favorite NHL team (a mile behind the Sabres) are the Oilers with Leon Draisaitl. It seems somewhat unfair to everybody else that two of the best forwards are on the same team, but such is life. Go Leon! Go Connor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, even more interesting IMHO, would McDermott have had more success with the same players? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills are playing.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hatred is there, but the play hasn’t been. I’m a huge fan of Schmid (Devils young goalie) and have been all year. He has “it” and I legit think he’s going to be a star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
