It really was a good one, though that playoff series with Nashville was.. f*** the preds. '11, 13, 14 and 15 were also equally memorable, but man those playoff losses hurt. Luckily there are plenty good memories as well - march and april of 2011 especially. I don't have the numbers, but they had to have great powerplay then, because I was always expecting a goal (I looked it up, 23.8% and 2nd in the league). Nowadays opposing team penalty has me doing sudokus or crossword puzzles.2010-2011 was easily my favorite regular season.
For me, personally, '06 through '09 hold a special place in my heart since my fandom got me through some tough shit. At the time watching the team play felt like safety blanket. I wonder what it would be like to watch some future HOF player again. They had so many, and I guess I took it for granted. I wish I would've get to seen more of prime Niedermayer, Pronger and Teemu.
I kind of stepped away after COVID, and it hasn't been the same for me anymore, but maybe one day I'll get visibly excited again. I'm in no hurry, but Sabres like forever rebuild is not it, so I really hope there are some good times ahead. Making the playoffs would be fun, and maybe it would ignite some passion for this sport again. Until then, nostalgia it is.
Maybe thread to reminisce could be fun?
