NHL Playoffs 2022-2023 Season

[Prospector]

Go Miami! Go Miami! Go Miami!!! Let’s all say it together! Go Miami!!!!!!!!! Go Miami! I don’t think you all can actually hear yourselves, Go Miami?!

[Prospector]

Against a team not in your division, conference, side of the globe, or even upper hemisphere…. Yet you want to root for the Dolphin’s hockey team?! Kinda suss

This is probably the only scenario you will ever see me root for a Florida team

Sucks that it's come down to this really.

 

I have to retract what I said about not rooting for Florida teams... I root for East Bay football and little league because a kid I've known since he was born plays for them, his older sister was a cheerleader too.

 

As long as Vegas fails I'm good.

I just wanna take a different turn, on this. Why the hate for Vegas? Seriously. Get a little introspective. 
 

have you been to a game in Vegas? And if you have, we are not like Boston fans or Jersey dopes. We like to have a good time, root for our team and treat other fans with more respect than they deserve, even when they are obnoxious (I’m talking about in person, and not me on these forums). We are good hearted and love the game and other fans attending. So where does this hate stem from? I really am baffled. Because the only place I have seen just as hospitable at the Knights games is the Bills

After all this.. and I am the troll?! You all are rooting for a Miami team?! What was your second hopeful, the Bruins or Devils?!?! Bunch of pretend Buffalo fans cheering for Miami. Very sad

 

but I guess this worked for Zerovolt, so hopefully your hate will project us to the cup

I mean, you literally said you come here to drunk s*** post. Can you blame people for thinking you are just a troll? You do kind of come off as one IMO.

 

and rooting for the panthers has nothing to do with the NFL at all, so that has no impact on our Bills or Sabres fandom. If anything it just shows how die hard Buffalo fans we are! Rooting against Eichel and for our boy Sam Reinhart and ex-Sabre Brandon Montour.

 

I don’t think you are one to lecture anyone on their Buffalo fandom though. You don’t even know anything about at least 1/2 the professional teams in Buffalo.

 

There really was no great team to root for in the playoffs this year. I didn’t have any team I really wanted to see win it all. If I had to pick a team I was rooting for this year I’d say Probably the Devils, simply because Lindy Ruff is their coach. He was the Sabres coach for 16 years (1997-2013) and still is open about his love for Buffalo. He’s even said he’s still rooting for the Sabres success even though he coaches NJ. It’s not often you hear another coach say something like that.

 

Now that they’re eliminated, it’s a lesser of 2 evils thing for me, which you would understand if you were a Buffalo fan, not just a Bills fan.

i tried to explain it to you in a post I took a decent amount of time to type out and you told me you weren’t even going to read it because it was a few paragraphs long, so… 🤷‍♂️

The door is open for Dallas. Big OT win.

I am done with you, but I am not gonna take my ball and go home and block you... and then log into my other account and do a barf emoji

Things happen, and no championship is guaranteed... I was going to type more, but I lost my train of thought. But you got a Dallas Cowboys fan cheering you on! Go Buffalo... but mainly we want Miami and Dallas to be happy

So one poster who emotionally drunk posts can persuade an entire fanbase to root for a Miami team?! or is it just anti Eichel emotions... both seem shallow

No, you had nothing to do with me rooting against Vegas. I’ve been rooting against them since their 2nd season (before Eichel). I already explained why I am rooting against Eichel in a previous post and also why I chose Florida (it’s literally in the post of mine you are quoting).
 

anyway, I’m done. You aren’t looking for actual conversation on this topic.

I am just happy to be posting in this thread this late in the season. I don’t post right after a game, whether we win or lose… I usually wait until I remember to check the only hockey thread/forum that I know of. If the knights get knocked out, I won’t be back until next post season… unless we don’t make it, in which case, you all will be in luck and it will be a wait and see.

I am just guessing the Knights have their own message board. I don't like Eichel and don't want him to win. Do not care if you think that is shallow. It's not personal against folks who live in Vegas or root for them. I liked Sam Reinhart when he was with the Sabres. His departure was not acrimonious and he did not act like an entitled Boston jerk because he wasn't one. So, I find I can rather easily root for the Panthers. I don't conflate them with the Dolphins, just as I don't think of the Raiders when the Knights in their ugly mustard yellow sweaters hit the ice.

They have a Reddit thing, but I don’t … and I already have my Bills account here, and they are my top team, so this convenient for me

Well, if you insist on following the Knights on this board, there's going to be blow back because a lot of folks were alienated by Eichel.

Eichel pulling a nice disappearing act as the playoffs progress…no goals in 6 games now.

We were just more resilient. If I had any word to describe our win this series, it would be resilience

You're sort of like a Chiefs fan who comes over here after his team wins the SB.

This Stanley Cup Finals outcome could only happen to Buffalo sports fans
