GDT: A hockey game between two teams is played tonight

[Strummer53]

I will never cheer against the Sabres but they have demoralized me. They have broken my spirit and my love for the game. I should not care as much as I did and that caring is now involuntarily going the way of the dodo bird . I had hoped to see a Stanley Cup in my lifetime but at my age and the makeup of this team my hope will no doubt never come to fulfilment.

My daughter is turning 14 in May. She had not been alive for a playoff game. How depressing is that?

This saddens me.

Your post reminded me that I made a rude reply to you recently. I apologize.

I feel your pain. Original 1970's fan here who reads your posts with great interest and familiarity. This franchise has gone backwards. Significantly over the past decade.

If Lindy Ruff is at a loss for words regarding this patient, then it's terminal.

Nicely done. Hizzoner is a good poster, a very knowledgable hockey guy and a long time Sabre fan (from across the border I believe). Always insightful and respectful.

Good read Deep Blue......

Us fans from the '70's are now approaching that age ourselves and still no Cup. Not much hope either.

Mitts is fitting in well with his new team although he still goes thru his drought periods where the playmaking he excels at goes south.

BUT, there is one hell of an experienced supporting cast to provide support and his droughts are a lot shorter now.

He's on the top PP and his current linemates are Nichushkin and Colton. Both have SC rings on their fingers.

What does this mean?. Is it French? Russian? Some kind of elvish?

f***ing shame

It's sad to say but Sabres may not have a fan base in 30 years. New fans aren't chosing the Sabres unless you are born into it and even then what's to stop them when they are older to cheer for another team.

We are all aging and the Sabres have given us nothing to look forward to for 14 years now.

This post just further confirms my fears. The Sabres should literally be put on the endangered list.
