Tolstoy Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Every now and then a sports team transcends the interest of its own league's fandom (e.g. the superbowl winner does it every year) and is brought to national attention whereby even people who are not fans of the sport hear about their achievements. I think the Sabres may well reach that level this year, and soon. I think, in fact, that this team could become as famous as the Oilers of the 80's, and as well, utterly shatter some NHL records. We'll see. Please: nobody agree with me because we will jinx them. Everybody needs to say this is utterly stupid and the Sabres will lose many games very soon.
dib Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 It's OK, because as far as the South Florida media is concerned, the Sabres don't even exist.
ACor58 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 It's OK, because as far as the South Florida media is concerned, the Sabres don't even exist. 818337[/snapback] I think that is probably the case in most cities. I will say that ESPN has been good about updating their progress. They are the lead NHL score on Mike&Mike / ESPN Radio when they are playing.

buckeyemike Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 It's funny what winning can do. As recently as a year and a half ago, many on this board were criticizing Lindy Ruff and the Sabres ownership for not improving the team, and some even said they'd never root for the team again, because the Sabres were headed for years in the basement. Boy, how things have changed. Guess the fearless leaders knew what they were doing after all. And it's my view that if the Sabres win it all with Sluggo on their sweaters, no one will hate that logo anymore.

Kinda like he was in the matrix...cool.

That logo good be tattooed on Jessica Alba's butt and it would take her from a Perfect 10 to a 5.
USMCBillsFan Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I beg to differ. That logo good be tattooed on Jessica Alba's butt and it would take her from a Perfect 10 to a 5. 818389[/snapback] Well let's not get crazy now. Jessica could never be a 5.....
aussiew Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 It's OK, because as far as the South Florida media is concerned, the Sabres don't even exist. They don't exist in Dallas either.
ricojes Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I beg to differ. That logo good be tattooed on Jessica Alba's butt and it would take her from a Perfect 10 to a 5. 818389[/snapback] That sweet logo would make her a 10.5........

Their hockey coverage is usually very minimal...the Columbus club doesn't exist in their minds. But there is minor league hockey here - the owners and affiliations change with some frequency, but AFAIK, attendance is halfway decent. Who knows? - it might increase because they can still board, check and fight.
VABills Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Well let's not get crazy now. Jessica could never be a 5..... 818391[/snapback] Give it 20 years.
USMCBillsFan Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 It's all good.... Give it 20 years. 818478[/snapback]

Kevbeau Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 thanks. i'm done. theres no way work is getting done until after lunch after seeing that. 818517[/snapback] That about sums it up. No point on concentrating on anything else, for the next few days.
