[BanditsRock11]

Sorry. No. As much as I'd like it, not gonna happen.

woooooooooo your post suck, negative nancy!!!!!!!

[BanditsRock11]

woooooooooo your post suck, negative nancy!!!!!!!


Its not being negative, its just the truth.

[shotgun]

iam not playing that fu^&ing song

[BeastMode Deep]

whoa, sorry for all that, I was quite intoxicated last night

[TRIPLE P]

Its not being negative, its just the truth.


Who's gonna stop us....

I mean, sure, its gonna be tough, but we have proven that we can play with ANYONE in the league.... and win.

[Millertime27]

We do have a good chance to make it into the finals


As long as we can keep beating Ottawa

[DropTheGloves]

To say there is no chance is just stupid. Anything can happen.

[GrapeDRINK]

Yea this team is much better then the 99 team. When we are fully healthy we are going to be a huge force in the league.

[Hockeystud1414]

Who's gonna stop us....

I mean, sure, its gonna be tough, but we have proven that we can play with ANYONE in the league.... and win.
And we don't have any ''weak'' links except fitzie.

[AfinogenovRocks]

Sabres could man there playing tough

[smaweet]

Sorry. No. As much as I'd like it, not gonna happen.


Wow, such a downer. Isn't part of being a fan having that inner-hope that every season will turn into a winner?!

[BlueNGold24]

i thought he wasn't a sabres fan to begin with

[smaweet]

i thought he wasn't a sabres fan to begin with


oh

forget him then

[BanditsRock11]

I'd bet my life or any amount of money the Sabres do not win the Stanley Cup this year..any takers since everyone is so confident??

Next year is a diffrent story though. I just dont think the Sabres have the experience yet. Nor do I think they can beat teams like Ottawa and Carolina in a 7 games series. Their only 1-4 against those two teams so far, and the only win was after a shootout, nothing too dominating. Call me negative or whatever, I really hope I'm wrong, but I dont think so.

[smaweet]

whatev

[Millertime27]

We were a different team when we first faced Ottawa. Look how flexible this team is, with injuries we are still dominating.



I think we have a strong chance to make it to the finals.

[Thumper]

Hey BanditsRock - Don't forget to pay up when Vanek nets his 18th goal. We haven't hit the Olympic break yet and he's got 16.

The reason the Sabres are as legitimate a Cup Contender as Ottawa is because of this - What would happen to Ottawa if Hasek broke his thumb, Alfredsson needed abdominal surgery, and Heatley got his knee taken out by Kasparitus? Would they be able to sustain their winning ways without their top two scorers and their best goaltender?

I don't know, but the Sabres have already proven they can. That means a lot.

[eSabre]

whoa, sorry for all that, I was quite intoxicated last night
Anyone miss this?



By the way, yes, I have rewritten the song to fit this year's team.

[DropTheGloves]

Linkage ESabre?


And BR, what playoff experience does Carolina have? From the Wings series way back?

[ckg68]

Quite a bit,actually:

1999: Canes win the SE Division,but are eliminated by Boston.

2001: Canes make the playoffs.

2002: Canes make the playoffs,and make their run to the Finals.

[radicallacrosse]

Mark my words, Sabres will be out in the first round.

So will the Leafs.

Haha. OWNED Losman. But seriously, I hope Im wrong. But I just dont see it this year, next year, with a stud D man or forward brought it that fits the sysyem, Sabres will be a contender, for sure. This season is a huge stepping stone towards that next year, IMO.

[BanditsRock11]

Leafs will be lucky to even make the playoffs, let alone be out in the first round. Even they do get in, and out in the first round, what else would be new? They never do anything in the playoffs anyway.

[ArlieKoz13]

^Hey, you better get that $5 ready in April. We got a bet still running and my side of it is looking pretty good right now. Hehehe.

[Wing Eater]

Mark my words, Sabres will be out in the first round.

Actually the Leafs will be missing the playoffs entirely...the same can be said about the Toronto Ro...wait actually this year they are the Toronto Pebbles!:bigsmile:

[RabidBillsFan]

Mark my words, Sabres will be out in the first round.

So will the Leafs.

What is your basis for the Sabres going out in the first round, when the Sabres don't have a losing record against every Eastern Conference opponent except for Ottawa, Florida, and New Jersey?

I can't wait to hear this.

As you can see, this Hurricane team is much different from the one from 2002. Therefore they are not playoff experienced like I said. I refuse to get owned!!!!:guy:

[RabidBillsFan]

Leaf fan. Horribly bitter. The Leaves will probably not even make the playoffs LOL!

I was just trying to get a gauge on the guy, and let him explain to me WHY, with actual facts, he said what he did :guy:

[radicallacrosse]

No facts, I didn't say there was any facts did I? It's a gut feeling.

It's pretty said that the Sabres have losing records to the Panthers and Devils... pathetic.

[BanditsRock11]

As you can see, this Hurricane team is much different from the one from 2002. Therefore they are not playoff experienced like I said. I refuse to get owned!!!!:guy:

Regardless, Carolina is a better team than Buffalo. You can't argue that. They beat them in their only matchup so far, and have the best record in the NHL.

That would be an awesome matchup in the playoffs though, Buffalo/Carolina.

Staal and Vanek. Two young stars, thatd be sweet.

[RabidBillsFan]

No facts, I didn't say there was any facts did I? It's a gut feeling.

It's pretty said that the Sabres have losing records to the Panthers and Devils... pathetic.

We've only played them twice apiece, of course... and Miller was OUT 4-6 weeks as well.

We shall see who is better on the 12th

It's pretty sad that you can't even spell "sad" right. Great education up north, eh? Also, you can't even talk, the Leafs are fighting for their playoff lives. I'd rather have 71 points and be in 4th or 5th and have a losing record to the Panthers and Devils than be the Queefs right now.

*****.

[Thumper]

I'll argue it.

Its hard to gauge if they are a better team than Buffalo right now. Sure, they have a better record than the Sabres. But look at their division opponents. There are 3 teams in the Southeast Division that are under .500 - Atlanta, Florida, and Washington.

NO TEAM in the Northeast Division is under .500

Carolina is in the weakest division in the Eastern Conference. That doesn't mean anything?

It's called a typo, ever heard of that?

I wouldn't be talking about Canada's education system...

Canadians place a premium on education and demand first-rate schools. Canada spends more per capita on its education system than any other country in the G-7 and is among the top three countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). A degree from a Canadian university is recognized world-wide and as a result, international students who graduate from Canadian universities enjoy successful and prosperous careers.

Have fun paying $20,000 USD per year for university in the States, while I enjoy paying $6,000 CAN per year for university here in Canada, which is just as good, if not better.

[radicallacrosse]

Ok. Sure. The Sabres are the best team in the East. Hell lets make it the NHL because other teams play in easier divisons. So now we know there is nobody else better than the Buffalo Sabres everyone should be willing to lay down some cash bets on them winning the cup, or atleast getting there right? I mean everyone here has arguements for the Sabres somehow being better than any other team, so there should be plenty of willing gamblers!

[buffaloinmontreal]

the sabres are winning the ****in stanley cup,as long as miller between the pipes no ones gonna stop us.BESIDES WHY NOT US! Tonight the canadiens get their ass kicked !

You're the guy that's spewing this "the Carolina Hurricanes are a better team than Buffalo" talk. I'm the guy making a legitimate argument as to why they may not be. It's not my problem that I'm pointing out obvious facts to make a case for my argument. Its your's.

Its all a matter of opinion, Islander fan. I'm not saying the Sabres are the best team in the east...I'm just saying there are plenty of reasons to believe that the Hurricanes aren't. Deal with it and have a discussion about it. Try backing up your opinion rather than shelling up and over exaggerating the arguments that I'm making.

Want another reason why I believe the Sabres are better than the Hurricanes? Actually, I don't care if you do or not...You're reading this anyways.

The Sabres have less goals against, as well as a better power play and penalty killing percentage.

Come on, give me another snappy comeback. It'll be easier for me to respond because there's plenty of positives about Carolina that you could be throwing at me here...But I guess you'd just rather be arrogant about it.

ALL that matters is wins and Points. Basically just points. And Carolina has more, and more wins and less losses so, bottom line. Cry all you want about who they play and whatever, they play the teams on their schedule, theres nothing they can do but that.

About goals agaisnt Carolina has way more goals scored. So I guess that evens out.

Listen dude, I like the Sabres, I really do, I go to alota games and everything, I just think Carolina is a better team thats all. Relax.

I'm completely relaxed. And I like a little decent conversation. I don't mind that you think the 'Canes are the best team in the league....Its not like you're going out on a limb saything that. But ff I disagree, I'll point out the reasons why and hope for a reply. That's what made you all huffy puffy. Then, in turn, you got me going...

You say you like the Sabres. But all I remember about you during the offseason was how the Sabres lost their two best players (Satan and Zhitnik), how they signed no one so they sucked, so that in turn prompted you to post over and over again a gigantic picture of the Islanders holding up the Cup where you then said "The fans of Buffalo will never see this. Go Islanders! I might as well root for the team where our two best players are." Something along the lines of that....So forgive me if I seem a bit chaffed when you talk about the Sabres. Especially when you say you like them.

You're right. Carolina can't help the fact that they are in the weakest division in the East, and therefore play the bulk of their games against some of the conferences weaker teams. But you can't admit that that has a direct effect on their win column?

You're right. I thought the Sabres were going to be bad. I was wrong, I didnt take into account the new rules would actually help them that much. Even some of the biggest Sabres fans I know predicted them to bad last in the division and all that.

I was just teasing and getting everyone fired up with the Islanders. I do really like Satan and Zhitnik, and was upset they didnt come back. I think we we kept them, or atleast one, the Sabres would be even more outstanding, which seems even more insane. I root for those two players still, even being on the Isles, but hey, I dont think theres anything wrong with liking players on other teams.

But hey, I'll be the first to admit I was totally wrong about the Sabres, if they keep winning, more power too them, it'd be nice to have all wining teams here if we can get the Bills going, because we all know the Bandits are good every season too :D

A few of us mentioned the new rules as a serious reason for why the Sabres would be better than predicted by some of those very intelligent sports writers...............

That's all fine and dandy, but I looked at that as much more than teasing. Its hard enough dealing with fans of cities that have Championships let alone dealing with what I thought at the time was a local bandwagoner who actually attends Sabres games.

So let's wipe the slate clean. Is it the Isles for you or the Sabres?

[ArlieKoz13]

Just had to get the last word in, didn't you, Thumper? :P

That is a hell of a point, which I haven't given enough credit to us for.

Winning in the playoffs is about overcoming adversity, and this team's done that, not just this year, but in the past 4.

We need a solid defensive presence and we must get rid of Campbell. He's been directly responsible for 3 out of our last 4 goals.

Campbell, Biron and a RW gets us a hell of a good RD.

Alberta is full of racist bigots. If alberta had a bigger population I'm sure they would have a higher rate. On a side note, I think the sabres have a good a chance as any of the top tier teams in the league to win the cup.

[The REAL Sabres]

Sorry. No. As much as I'd like it, not gonna happen.Hey, I'm really glad you said that! Recent history has shown your judgment on anything relative being far from exemplary and downright wrong.

I didn't believe the Sabres had a real chance, but since you think that, there's a really good chance that it's wrong and they will win.

Hi ArlieKoz13 - The last word? This is a message board. If I had the last word or BanditsRockk11 had the last word, niether of us would ever talk to eachother again, which would completely defeat the purpose of the message board :y11:

BanditsRock11 - The Sabres, huh? Well that's refreshing.

[The REAL Sabres]

BanditsRock11 - The Sabres, huh? Well that's refreshing.Well, they are good now...

[Thumper]

Well, they are good now...

Right....So I noticed. I didn't want to jinx them by telling him to stick with them through thick and thin. But I don't think the Sabres will be getting thin anytime soon, so screw it.

BanditsRock11 - Then stick with them when the going gets tough like a real fan! ;)

[The REAL Sabres]

Haha. OWNED Losman.LOL, owned?? As Losman07 showed there are two remaining players from 4 YEARS AGO!! Hell, the Sabres have more players (6) left from their last playoff team, the year before that. Afinogenov, Biron, Campbell, Dumont, Kalinin, McKee.

And the bacon hits the hot frying pan.

[BanditsRock11]

Not a blow. Just wondering. Dont mean to hurt anyones feelings, not that it would, Jeff is a strong person. I dont know what happend, so I should prolly shut my mouth anyway.

On a better note, glad to see ya back on the SI staff Jeff, you really know your hockey, and are a big help to that and were to the Range. On a personal note, I got no beef with ya, its just fun going back and forth on here. Keep up the good work on the Insider!

No way, we have enough Rangers fans on the board already.

[The REAL Sabres]

He should give up being an Islanders fan and become a full fledged Rangers fan.If there ever was an American team more inept than the Islanders, it's the Rangers. As far as the last decade-plus is concerned at least.

[rob on the job]

He should give up being an Islanders fan and become a full fledged Rangers fan.

To switch rooting for the Islanders to rooting for the Rangers, he would have to have the remaining half of his brain removed.

[ckg68]

And besides,there's a third choice...New Jersey.

Yeah,they play a kinda bland type of hockey. But they win consistently. You can't say that about the Isles or(this year notwithstanding)the Rangers.

Sabres have had a great year and could potentiall do well in the playoffs, it all depends on who they face. They are not going to win the cup this year i don't think, Ottawa and Detroit or pretty far ahead of them. I know they aren't in the standings but i think in a seven game series they would be pretty tough for the sabres to handle.

This team dominates without their best goalie or their two best scorers being dressed.

We'll see what happends.

He should give up being an Islanders fan and become a full fledged Rangers fan.


I'd rather not watch the NHL ever again, than become a Rangers fan.

Good one, BR11. Well, I expect you to become a Rangers fan real soon.

[The REAL Sabres]

Good one, BR11. Well, I expect you to become a Rangers fan real soon.If they beat the Sabres in the playoffs, there's no doubt he will.

See, the problem is, BR11, you chose the wrong New York team to like. The Islanders are a joke. I have no idea why you became a fan of them. It's time to become a New York Rangers as they are winners, and the Islanders are losers.

Alberta is full of racist bigots. If alberta had a bigger population I'm sure they would have a higher rate. On a side note, I think the sabres have a good a chance as any of the top tier teams in the league to win the cup.

I know you are too stupid to understand what a rate is, but it measures on a per population basis. It is independent of population, you ignorant tool.

Alberta has a much lower rate of bigotry than Ontario, home of Ernst Zundel. To hopefully educate you, that means that even if we had as many people as Ontario, there would be more racist incidents in Ontario.

Do you think that a batter having more AB will necessarily translate into a higher batting average?

Did you personally attend one of the many anti-Semitic rallies at the University of Toronto?

You made the same mistake. The Sabres are the only team in New York worth paying attention to.
