It was good to see him score. I still have faith in him as a player. Maybe Buffalo isn't the right place for him, but I still do have faith. I think he'd do quite well with a fast forward to match him. I'm obviously quite aware of his faults but here's to hoping we don't get rid of him just yet.

Why do you consider us "Die Hard Fans" a joke? Because we stand by our team win or lose? I bet if we had another season like the last two you'd be the ultimate Sabres fan wouldn't you. Bandwagon fan. If you don't believe in your team why do you even bother reading about it and commenting?

So ... having passion for something is now a mockable offense? Yeah, the odds of them making the playoffs this year are extremely thin. So we should just banish them and never watch again? I don't necessarily watch hockey for the ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup. Yeah, I root and hope for it each year, but in the end, I can look back and enjoy the season. I enjoy watching a game, a sport, I love. What's funny about that?

Yes. I am a Die Hard. We could have the worst players in the league, be the laughing stock, not even field a full team. I would still be a Die Hard. I may criticize them now and then, but what good fan doesn't. We may never win a Stanley Cup. But I'll still be there. So will all the other fans. And you know what, we'll even welcome back the fairweathers ... you know the ones that are in line or online buying up the remaining playoffs tix before us Idiotic Die Hards can. But really, we don't mind. A fan is a fan, bandwagon parked out front or not.

A FAN supports their team, win or lose.
Sure management has probably traded off the chances of winning this year, but there's always next year!
I for one (being out here in So. Cal., where fans turn with the wind) will always keep hope for the Sabres!(But I do NOT like the new jerseys. Go back to either of the old style).

Ha the jokes on you loser fans I bought an already talented team. Bilked the fans into buying new jerseys , jacked up ticket prices , conned everyone into buying season tickets just to buy playoff tickets at ridiculous prices. depleted the team the next offseason and left all you loser season ticket holders, holding the bag.
But not to worry I did give vanek $300,000 a goal this year it was either that or get four 1st round draft picks , gotta love my great business sense.

What a clever man you are. I guess, judging by the genius of some, we should all just stop being fans until next year. I really cannot wait until this team is great again and all these people come rushing back (oh I LOVE the sabres, they're so great, we rock, go team, yay yay yay).

One game left. I'll enjoy it. Here's to hoping we win and may next year be an exciting one. Because I watch hockey because I love the game.

Daily Horoscope for December 9

Pisces

You have a one track mind today, dear Pisces, and it's running along very ambitious lines, absolutely determined to achieve something you've been attempting for ages. Can you be so committed that you're prepared to let everything else go by the wayside for the time being? That's great, but don't become obsessive about it.
