Anything can happen Go Sabres!!!! 695812[/snapback] Remember when the Sabres were in the Cup finals and the Bills were nowhere near the Superbowl? Or when the Bills were in the Superbowl, and the Sabres were nowhere near the Cup finals? Or when the Sabres were in the Cup finals AGAIN, and the Bills were nowhere near the Superbowl? In other words...no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the Red Sox and Patriots won championships at the same time, if the Sabres win the Stanley Cup, does that mean the Bisons will win the World Series????

Buftex Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Maybe the LA Clippers success will be more of an omen! They were the Buffalo Braves at one time, after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be great if they win the Stanley Cup. 695823[/snapback] The Stanley Cup is the only major sports trophy that bears the name of every player of every team that won it. There is nothing like it in sport. When you raise it over your head, you raise ever player who won it before you. You can talk about the ring, but the Stanley Cup makes you immortal. That's heavy!

Kelly the Dog Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 So what happens when they run out of room? 695925[/snapback] There's tons of room on the thing, and they engrave really, really small. In fact, right now they are putting down all 6721 guys that Rod Brind'amour has won face-offs from since 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR 695901[/snapback] The Stanley Cup DOES NOT have all the winners on it. It is made up of sections. When one section fills up, they take one out and put in a new one.

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 What if the Sabres win the Stanly Cup? Could that be an omen for our Bills? Anything can happen Go Sabres!!!! 695812[/snapback] Hey, maybe it could. Obviously, the Sabres' success has nothing to do with the Bills. However looking at the Sabres' success can make us fans feel better about the Bills' current plans. The Sabres' big moves this offseason: get rid of their leading scorer (Satan), arguably their best defenseman (Zhitinik) and bring in a 36 year old defensemen (Teppo). I'm sure most fans, like myself, thought the Sabres were doomed. However, chemistry is a very underrated. Hockey and football are 2 sports where working hard and believing in your teammates can really make up some of the talent you lack. The Sabres are young and appear to have no egos, and it appears that the Bills are being built into a similar type of team. So hopefully, we will have another hard working, overachieving team to root for this fall. Go Sabres and Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures of it from a several years ago only have four sections...but more recent pictures have five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Didn't Jackie Martling take a dump in it or something? 695997[/snapback] I certainly did not Seriously though I think read/heard there's more than one Cup one that used to go on tour, one that stays at the Hall of Fame in Toronto etc. Sort of like Santa Claus.

So the Bills should get rid of their leading scorer (Holcomb, with 10 TD's), their best defensive player (Fletcher with 157 tackles), and bring in a 36 year old defensive player (Troy Vincent is 35; Born: 06/08/1971, Lawyer Milloy is too young Born: 11/14/1973).
