First of all, what the hell does he have against Austria? Second, how this guy gets any kind of praise for anything he does is beyond me. His voice, his face, his play-by-play, all awful.

And he obviously doesn't do his research, because anyone who watches hockey would have said "Uh, Thomas Vanek grew up in America, bud." when asked to read that line.
- BeadyEyedDouche

I would be one of those people who would think that, but if EA Sports said "shut up, read it, and cash my check for however many thousands of dollars" I would absolutely do it. Why? Because the truth of where Thomas Vanek actually grew up simply just doesn't interest me enough.

That's what makes it so funny to me. I'm pretty sure his point was that since there are only a handful of Austrian players, Vanek has done incredibly well, but because he doesn't elaborate it sounds like he HATES Austria.

The other one from NHL '16 and '17:

"There's not a lot that goes on sports-wise in Buffalo, so the Sabres really are the main attraction"

Again, wtf?

2/4 major sports?

They always have some weird thing to say

Um.
- BINGO!

No offense but there really isn't that much of a fan base in Carolina half of them are Sabres fan

- GERBE!!!75PTS

Well yeah, but this has nothing to do with Carolina.

Your statement that Buffalo is a top 5 fanbase is a bit of a stretch.

It's pretty bad, technically I'm Upstate and I can throw a stone at the PA border. I'm also called the Southern Tier.

You'd think Upstate and Southern Tier would be opposite but nope.

I love NY.
- gcomella34

Trust me, you aren't upstate in anywhere near Binghamon.

You are 100% Southern Tier.

Terry built an Empire with that Harbor Center without that maybe we would be in your shoes IMO

But to your point right now the Buffalo fan base is on that bills bandwagon once that's over with

It's going to be extreme hockey down in Buffalo

Trust me, you aren't upstate in anywhere near Binghamon.

Can't we just say we're from Buffalo lol

I would be that guy who would refuse to read unless they corrected it.

And if I was Cock Emmerick, they wouldn't tell me to leave.

- GERBE!!!75PTS

No because I'm sick of people born in the Southtowns saying they're from Buffalo when they aren't.

I was born in Buffalo. I'm FROM Buffalo.

Someone born in Springville is NOT from Buffalo. It's pretty simple.

Trust me, you aren't upstate in anywhere near Binghamon.

You are 100% Southern Tier.
- BeadyEyedDouche

Anyone from the city calls ANYTHING west of the Hudson...Upstate.

Everything in NY is in relation to NYC.

- jcragcrumple

I mean. We are 100% a sports town. Not even just our teams. The Yankees and Blue Jays are huge in Buffalo. Not to mention the popularity of all other sports, especially college, in the area.

What a jamoke.

- gcomella34

Which is why I say I'm from Buffalo when I leave the state. If I say I'm from New York, they immediately think NYC.

It's ridiculous. And I HATE NYC.

But what happens if they were born in Buffalo General but are from the Southtowns 😱

Funniest thing ever, in the Army I tell people not from NY I'm from NY, they ask me what it was like to grow up without seeing grass?

When I told guys from the city I was from Upstate, they asked me if I had cows.

No in between.

If you're born in Buffalo, you're from Buffalo. I actually went to High School in the Southtowns.

Trust me, they aren't Buffalo. Same as the Northtowns.

Bunch of year-round-camo-wearing-pick-up-truck-driving-redneck-bumholes who sound like they're from Tennessee and can't even do simple math or read even one chapter in one book.

There really isn't. People from NYC think the rest of the state is farms and corn fields.

People from the surrounding states think New York is one big Urban Sprawl.

I mean, people from other parts of the country or world are sometimes baffled when I tell them we have mountains in New York.

I've literally had people laugh at me and tell me no.

When I say that the Buffalo-region has the most sunny days (it actually does) in the continental United States, they try to laugh me out of the room and tell me it snows 8 months out of the year.

Straight ignorance, everywhere.

I say I'm from Buffalo. Because if I say I'm from East Aurora, they have no clue where that is.

Besides.. born at Buffalo General.

And I RARELY get sunny days. Although we've had a pretty good stretch lately, highly unusual.

- BINGO!

Sabres fans are pound-for-pound the best American hockey fans, point blank, period.

We watch no matter who is playing.

Other cities are fans of their team, Buffalo is a hockey town
