This isn't peewee hockey. This is a (frank)ing business. I actually disliked the open cheers against the Sabres. But they paid their money and they can cheer for whomever they please. I think it's disrespectful, but that's not my problem. It wouldn't hurt for more fans to be silently happy, but whatever. I don't blame all the players one bit for trying as hard as they can. But to win 8 100% meaningless games, to a fan and organizational standpoint only harms the future of this organization.

This is me for the most part at the arena. I still cheer when the Sabres score. No, it's not the same type of cheering as when the team is actually good, but I do still cheer.

I couldn't go to a game this year if I still lived in Buffalo, I get so down when they score that I wouldn't be able to fake it at a game if in attendance.

This was Linda Cohn's tweet back to me this morning when we were discussing what took place last night in the arena.

To go to game & root against team you love is disturbing no matter if McDavid or Eichel is light at end of tunnel. @LilFin #sabres

Simple fact of the matter is that I have a huge heart and it hurt me to see a few players like Weber and Gionta take it the way they did last night.

I don't care what they make etc.
They are human beings with feelings, and that is always what trumps all for me.
Some of them are fighting for their NHL careers.
Like I said pro tankers, I get it, I really do.
But that, I think went a bit too far last night.
I felt their pain.

So what are you going to troll about next year?

I am not sure how many times I need to say I get the "pro tankers" view.

The problem is the flip side.

But, that is what that is.

- BuffaloHardHat


The flip side is nothing but an ethics standpoint. This is a business. No one gives a poop how you get a championship as long as you stay within the rules. People will cry about it, but most won't give a damn. Will they guarantee a championship? No. But to get in the conversation, you need a difference maker and more. Time to start with this difference maker.

I would rather her talk dirty to me than hockey. Hockey would be furthest from my mind.

if the sabres didn't suck for 4 years, they would not be in this position where fans cheer when the other team scores


something kaleta, weber, coho, foligno should be asking themselves every time they look in the mirror

In general I can't get mad when they win a game. I'm just not wired that way. The difference is I haven't gotten upset at any point this year that they lost games. Was I starting to freak out a bit when it looked like they probably wouldn't get one of McDavid or Eichel? Sure. I want one of them so badly. But at the same time, I know this team is still going to be a good team. It's just the difference between them being a good team and a great team that makes me cheer for the other team, albeit much more silently than a lot of others right now.

I did this year... First time ever that I can remember getting mad at them winning.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I wish I could not get mad. The Boston game was the first time I legitimately was angry we won. If we could just lock this thing up, I'm ready and willing to start being happy for wins again.

Damn lots of softies in here. Poor webers feelings were hurt

Play better D and dont take a penalty and his team could have won. Don't be mad or upset with us fans because you guys aren't very good. It is what it is. I will never ever look back and be embarrassed for openly cheering for us to lose this season. It will be worth it.

lack of talent is horsepoop and a cop out IMO

the goaltending has been well above average all year

the pp, pk, face offs, and 3 shots on goal in the third period is what made this the 30th team in the nhl

Here's the thing...they don't care about you at all.

Love your wife. Love your kids. Love your family.
