I'm also fortunate to have a job where I can afford to do so, and have a group of friends willing and able to do so as well. Others don't, and I'm aware of that. I know you met me with my father a couple of years ago, but make no mistake, I had to drag his ass on that trip, and I picked that week because other friends were going too. A lot of things went right for that to happen.

I guess my overall point is I don't really know how big of a fan someone like Pegs is of the Broncos or the Sabres, and no offense to him, I really don't care. We interact with a bunch of people on this site, 99.9% of whom we really don't know (with a few exceptions), for entertainment purposes only. If you're knowledgeable and coherent enough to string together a reasonably well thought-out take on this team, that's good enough for me.

Best player I’ve ever seen. Probably the best ever. Should’ve been a Sabre. That last minute “vote” to redistribute the lottery odds was bullish!t.

Not even being the least bit sarcastic, Craig Anderson has been a top 10 goalie in the league this year.

Have UPL (prior to last 4 starts) and Comrie costed us points this year ? Absolutely.

But our goaltending is actually league average when you consider the whole pie.

The biggest issue was losing half our d-corps for 8 games and not managing to at least pick up a couple loser points or a win or two.

This is one way to look at it, but it's not right IMO. Anderson is great once a week. That's it. Once a week. That does not make him a top 10 goalie. Frankly, I don't know what it makes him except very good once a week. I assume he starts against the Bruins today, and then he's on the shelf again for 3 games. If he doesn't win today he could end up going 20 days or so without a win. Again, I don't exactly know what that is, but it's not top 10.

Every NHL team has injuries. The team we just whipped, Detroit, has a bunch of them that never get mentioned. I get it, our young D core got wiped out, but every team has the same or similar story. I can't find a good website tracking man games lost to injury, but what I have found does not show the Sabres near the top of the NHL in this stat. Our injuries do not appear to be out of the ordinary in comparison to other teams.

Edit: Andy goes out and steals one against the Bruins in Boston this afternoon... I'll tell you he's top 20.

I've always thought pegs was the only Sabres fan , among all leafs fans? Worked with all leafs fans and would rib them?

Led me to believe he's closer to Toronto.
He definitely isnt closer to Denver.

There is no possible way he has the bond or connection to either of these teams that I have for the Sabres and Bill's.

I respect that he's a fan of Denver because his family raised him that way.
Just different fandom levels.

I’m a vested enough Sabres fan that I have been posting on this site for 11 years.

I’m 27 years old and have spent a majority of my adult life bleeding Blue and gold.

So because I was born in Sault Ste.Marie and relocated to Mississauga at the age of 5 and fell in love with the Sabres at around the age of 10 I’m not fully a vested fan ?

I live right between Buffalo and Toronto, even more so now that I live in London. I’m 2 hours from Toronto, Buffalo, and Detroit respectively.

How many people born in Buffalo don’t give a crap about the Bills or Sabres ?

They were playing Bills games in Toronto ffs at one point and if it weren’t for southern Ontario fans like me Buffalo wouldn’t even have a hockey team.

But continue

Agreed. You're a fan of whomever you're a fan of. I will be as high for this Michigan - TCU game today as would be for a Yankee playoff game. Only the Sabres will top it for me.

Buffalonian all my life but right now is the only time in 42 years the Bills have been my favorite team. The NFL has always been about individual players for me and only with Josh Allen has lead me to the Bills.

I will always appreciate the Canadian Sabres fan and hockey fan in general who have come to Sabres' games since 1970. They are great fans I want them all back in the barn. Let's face it, Dylan Cozens is going to take Bergeron's spot on Team Canada someday. Folks will want to come see him, Tage and Dahlin.

I'm similar to you with football.

I was 9 when Dan Marino burst on the scene, and I was fascinated and amazed watching him play.

Feels the same way watching Allen play now to me.
