[GerbeSonOfGloin]

Hi, I've been on HFBoards on and off the past couple of years but I never formally introduced myself here.

Name: Ted

Age: 23

Location: currently, Seoul, South Korea

Current Occupation: English teacher/med or grad school applicant/general layabout

Sabres Fan since: 1998. Was captivated by how a team so god awful could go so far because of one amazing player.

Season Ticket Holder: No. Closest I've ever to Buffalo is NYC.

All Time Favorite Sabres: Hasek, Barnes, Dumont, Afinogenov, Briere, Ennis, Gerbe. Yep, I like them waterbugs, I find them exciting to watch.

Favorite Sabres moment: Too many, but that 8-2 blowout game 2 against the Flyers with twin hattricks by Dumont and Pominville will always hold a special place in my heart. We've blown out teams in the playoffs worse before (such as when we eliminated those very same Flyers back in '01) but that game showcased all that was great about the best Sabres team ever assembled.

Sabres Jersey you own: None yet, never been much of a memorabilia type guy.

Team You Hate Most: I don't really hate teams. I naturally root for underdogs so... big market teams, kind of?

Favorite Musical Artists: Rise Against, Dropkick Murphy's, Senses Fail, Opeth, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Offspring, Bad Religion, the New Pornographers. Jay-Z's my favorite artist outside of rock.

Favorite Movies: T2, Fight Club, Groundhog Day, Office Space, Aliens, The Social Network, Ocean's Eleven, the second Lord of the Rings, Harold and Kumar (the 1st one). Among old-timers, I like some musicals, like Sound of Music or Singing in the Rain, or war movies, like Tora! Tora! Tora! or From Here to Eternity. Also, Kiki's Delivery Service, though it's technically a movie for little girls. I Love You Man and A Knight's Tale among tasteless modern b-movies.

Favorite TV shows: The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Futurama, Community

Favorite Books: Never much of a novel-reader, but during that brief window in my life I actually read novels, "Palladio" by Jonathan Dee and "The Sweeter Life" by Tim Wynveen. Mostly I read pop non-fiction from writers like Malcolm Gladwell and Matt Ridley.

Bad Habits: Making my lists of favorites too long and not shutting up

I also really like the Blackhawks because a buddy of mine is a huge fan, so there's that too. My family is big on the Canadiens because I have a lot of ties to Quebec but my old man has been a Sabres fan since he was like 10 or 11 because of Gil, let's just say my Grandfather didn't take kindly to that.

welcome!
you will fit in just fine
what got you started as a Sabres fan in '92?
are you native English, Welsh, Scottish, other?
(I've walked the wall of the walled cities of Chester and York, also been to Wales & Scotland, but never went to London proper because right when I was going to go years ago, the cease-fire halted and bombing began, and I didn't want my family worrying about me, even though the odds were million-to-one. Still miss the local pints of bitter, the early (by American standards) pub hours, and "lock-ins".)

...i live in England since 2006, originally I am from Poland....I started support Sabres in 92 because I played computer game Wayne Gretzky Hockey on my Amiga 500 and I picked Buffalo as a my team.....and I am a fan until now.....at this time I had very poor information about NHL.....there was no internet....., in 93 or 94, don't remember exactly polish tv showed NHL Powerweek, and that was my main source of knowledge.....finally in 1998 new digital tv bought rights to show NHL games live and I could watch every game of finals between Sabres and Stars....later i had a break untill 2010 and since then i try to watch every Buffalo game on NHL network (previously on ESPN Player).....this is my history....I hope one day I will watch Sabres live in First Niagara Center......sorry for my english, hope You understand what I wanted to say......
