The sucky thing about being a small market hockey fan

[NorthwesternFan]

Crappy Rivalries...

A couple days ago, I purchased RANGERS/FLYERS tickets..

As Sabre fans you will never expierence intensity like that during the regular season.


I don't want any of you to bring up the Maple Leafs either.. Maple Leafs/Sabres is nothing like Rangers/Flyers or Rangers/Bruins, etc...


Hell your best rivalry ever was vs the Whalers IMO

[Smapdi]

go away

[Jayhawk]

Sabres v Sens

[Jayhawk]

Sabres v Canes

[Guy Incognito]

Plus, never having the cahnce to win a Stanley Cup.

[ckg68]

Remember,Guy:

We came within 20 minutes of playing for the Cup.

The Rangers? Uh,way too many games to count. And the point's moot in any case since you guys were swept out of the playoffs.

[Smapdi]

How did the Ranger do last year?

Ohhh yeahhhh they got sodomized in 4 games in one of the most pathetic playoff performances ever. BUahhahahahahahhahahahaha get ready to get smacked up like little bitches this year again; hopefully Jagr doesn't injure his shoulder again carrying his purse.

[ckg68]

Not to mention we have some good rivalries with Boston & Montreal. Oh,yeah,Philly too. I guarantee you R.J. Umberger remembers it well....:)

[shotgun]

I guarantee you R.J. Umberger remembers it ....:)

he no longer plays with philly

[Guy Incognito]

Same old story with the Sabres, we came so close, yet, you couldn't get the job done, and you never will.

That's funny, last time I checked, the Rangers suffered alot of misfortune last year. If we stay healthy this year, we will go far.

Rangers = Loss in the first round to the Devils


Sabres = lost in the Conference Finals


and Ranger fans talk smack. lol

Rangers = Multiple Stanley Cup wins

Sabres fans can't talk at all.

[NorthwesternFan]

It sure never gets old though..


They also lose THREE key guys that help them get that close, and these fans act like its cutting the fat off a steak..

Very little objectivity on this board.

you all do anything in this century? :)

Sabres fans can't talk at all.

Not to mention our team plays their home games at a venue called Madison Square Garden, while for 25 years the Sabres were playing at the shopping mall that was the Aud..

[Jayhawk]

yup, gotten to the conference finals, what's the farthest you all have? first round? lol

[TRIPLE P]

Buddy and "The walking corpse" are the best......

[Guy Incognito]

yup, gotten to the conference finals, what's the farthest you all have? first round? lol

Wow. I guess I'll just have to settle with our franchise going to the Stanley Cup Finals and winning it all in the previous century.

[DropTheGloves]

Wow Guy, you must just have stopped craping in your pants when the Rags won the cup last.


Wait they didn't win one last year?

[ckg68]

Not to mention our team plays their home games at a venue called Madison Square Garden, while for 25 years the Sabres were playing at the shopping mall that was the Aud..

And you're about ready to abandon THAT venue for a new MSG,aren't they?

What's that about? At this rate,the Rangers are about to trade for a new trophy wife...ERRRRRRRR,arena. Just like they've done 4 times before. We've only done it once.

[ckg68]

Rangers = Multiple Stanley Cup wins

Sabres = Zero Stanley Cup wins

Sabres fans can't talk at all.

Not only can we,but we will. "I think you're forgetting something: I'm the Doctor and if there's one thing I can do,it's talk."(Doctor Who,"The Parting of the Ways")

It's the old matter of "What have you done for me lately?"

Buffalo's done a lot. The Rangers haven't.

SCOREBOARD.

[Bay Side]

idiots!! Playoffs for 1st time in what, 7 years? Now they make it to the playoffs, and cant win one game and for some reason can talk smack?? Whats up with that??

[TMR2006]

I love NYC sports... The "Ran-jerks" in particular...

They stack their rosters with over the hill has-beens to sell more season tickets, and in recent history haven't been in a whiff of championship. Unless you count the Yankees... they have more of a monopoly really.

Point is they spend the most money, have the most teams, but don't really get the bang for their buck that they intend. Perennially out of real contention and more concerned with revenue than a winning product.

NYC SPORTS
NYR- 12 years.
NYG- 16 years.
NYI- 23 years.
NYJ- 38 years.
NYY- 6 years.
NYM- 37 years.
NYK- 33 years
NY/NJ Nets- 38 years.

Now you tally all those years without a champion
203 years total...

BUFFALO SPORTS
Braves- 8
Bills- 46 years
Sabres- 36 years

Buffalo sports= 90
NYC sports= 203

Keep in mind NYC sports perennially max out their payrolls and have 2 teams... yes TWO in every major sport, frankly this level of failure in the sight of such monsterous, spending is exactly on par with what I've come to expect from NYC sports.

Stuffed shirts, Big Money, Big Mouths, Diminishing Results...

I'm tired of you I really am... whenever I see you run your mouth I will post this so you can stare in shame at the truth. I encourage others to steal this and post it immediately after NWF runs his mouth about NYC sports I'm tired of ignorant know it all New Yorkers running their mouths before looking at the scoreboard.

Can't even buy a championship right anymore....

[SabresFan220]

I wish there were an ignore button to ignore the posts made by whoever you choose to ignore. But you're all forgetting something elementally simple, NWF is a confessed loser who has no life or real friends. He makes rediculous posts here to get attention and make himself feel important, I guess jerking off gets old if you do it as much as he does. If no one ever responded to any of his posts he would either go away, kill himself, or just get banned for constant spamming. Let's all do something he can't seem to do, use our brains.

[thisisfunah]

yeah there needs to be a digg-esque (digg.com) ability to "bury" certain threads.

[Cornellian]

"Very little objectivity on this board."

Wow.

1) Pot, meet kettle.
2) It's a freaking Sabres message board. If you were expecting objectivity, I think you have an extra chromosome floating around somewhere.

[Dontdieman]

NWF is a ruse

[The REAL Sabres]

What?!?! The Sabres have a much bigger rivalry with the Flyers than the Rangers do. That's based solely on the fact we've played the Flyers in the playoffs eight different times. That's tops for both teams.

I'd much rather see a Rangers/Islanders than Rangers/Flyers anyways.

And what the hell does being in a small market have to do with rivalries?!?! Are the Oilers and Flames not rivals?

[committed hero]

NYC SPORTS
NYM- 37 years.


Boycotting the '86 Mets?

I've never heard the Rangers-Flyers trumped up as a rivalry. Usually, there is a good shorthand name for such contests, like the Queen-E series. What is Rangers-Flyers - the "Jersey Turnpike series?"

my bad.

[dasaybz]

You call that stinky shit hole an arena?

Puhhlease. How many homeless hookers have had sex on the side of that filthy stinkbox?

[DropTheGloves]

Uh, lets be honest with the Yankees. They have 26 championships, 4 in the past 10 years.

And the amount of NYC teams is WAY more than the Buffalo teams.

Flawed logic IMO.

[Guy Incognito]

Flawed logic IMO.

That's the only logic you can use when you try to defend yourself for being a sabres fan.

[DropTheGloves]

LOL Guy did you read my post.

[ckg68]

That's the only logic you can use when you try to defend yourself for being a sabres fan.

Or how the Rangers blew the last 9 games of the '05-'06 season.

Nothing will blow a team's rep faster than tanking all those games when you're in position to get either home ice advantage,the Atlantic Division title,or both.

[Guy Incognito]

Did I not quote your post, Losman07?

Injuries, Olympic breaks.... etc. The list goes on.

[ckg68]

Injuries, Olympic breaks.... etc. The list goes on.

:censor: the excuses.

We had MUCH more reason to use injuries as a crutch last season,but did you hear any whining and bitching from Sabre players and fans? No,you did not.

So don't use that excuse here,Guy. It does not wash. Now. Or ever.

[TMR2006]

Uh, lets be honest with the Yankees. They have 26 championships, 4 in the past 10 years.

And the amount of NYC teams is WAY more than the Buffalo teams.

Flawed logic IMO.

Their 194$ million dollar payroll is larger than the GDP of several small countries east of Europe and is 74$ million higher than the next highest team. The fact that they don't win the World Series every year with that kind of spending is a little unsetteling.

Whenever a salary cap is brought up in baseball it gets shot down because of teams like the Yankees know they'll lose the competitive imbalance that pushes them to the top year, after year, after year....

Meanwhile league attendace slides, TV ratings drop, the league threaten contracting teams, and on... and on... and on.

Teams like the Yankees are killing baseball while pretending to be it's hollowed icons.
At least Buffalo teams only kill themselves and not the whole sport.

Flawed logic.... yeah.
Biased... probably.
More than NWF, sure hope not...

[Guy Incognito]

Actually, that's wrong. It gets shot down because of the players union. If there's a salary cap, players won't be able to make as much money as they do now.

[TMR2006]

Rigggght.... and the Yankees as the biggest market in the league have no sway whatsoever on how their league operates, compared to say... the brewers or pirates.

[Guy Incognito]

The players love the yankees. When they see the yankees, they see lots of money. If there is a salary cap, the yankees won't be able to spend as much as they do now.

[TMR2006]

I'm all for a salary cap in baseball. There is no reason any team should be allowed to buy victory every year when team with just as rich a history in the sport are relegated to second-class citizen status within the league.

It's bad for the sport... great for the Yankees.

[Guy Incognito]

I agree, TMR. When is it going to stop with the yankees, when they hit $300 million?

[TMR2006]

I agree, TMR. When is it going to stop with the yankees, when they hit $300 million?

That's a scary thought... too bad the ownership in the MLB doesn't have the same kind courage their NHL and NFL counterparts showed. F*ing sad they could let it get that bad, F*ing sad teams still take advantage of it.

Makes me appreciate the NHL CBA all over again...

[GG8407]

I think we're off topic just a little...

[The REAL Sabres]

I think we're off topic just a little...Judging by the absurdity of the topic, that's not a bad thing.

I think its official that I pretty much hate you.

It sure never gets old though..

Very little objectivity on this board.

First of all J.P Dumont was invisible during the Playoffs. 2nd of all, we replaced Mckee with Spacek who is about as good as Mckee if not better and while we will miss Grier, I don't think his 10 regular season goals will hurt us that much.

[sabrills70]

Do we really need a rivalry? Lets just beat everyone. BTW, who the hell keeps letting these ranger fans state their opinion on our website. We don't care about your opnions. The Sabres are better and thats all their is to it - end of discussion and no room for your opinions.

[number61]

That's the only logic you can use when you try to defend yourself for being a sabres fan.

were you a sabres fan once or something, how could you have 2000 somethiong posts of just ripping them.

P.S. Find a rangers board

GOOD POST! Coming from the best fan in the buffalo range, next to guy ofcourse.

[Sasquatch]

Pure jackassery, from the hockey "experts" who broke the Marty for Poti trade.

[NY RANGER]

Rangers = Multiple Stanley Cup wins

Sabres = Zero Stanley Cup wins

Sabres fans can't talk at all.

Amen! Hey sabres fans everywhere, star 'em up! ''Rangers suck, they got owned by the devils, sweep sweep!'' funny that's all you guys got. Sabres fans shouldn't be talking back to rangers fans, we own the sabres. Besides, Sabres can't even spell stanley cup, or even stanley nonetheless.

Repeat after me. The Rangers SUCK.

[TMR2006]

All-Time - Sabres vs Rangers


Overall: 64-48-25-0
At MSG: 24-28-15-0
At Buffalo: 40-20-10-0

Real sucky you can't seem to beat us THROUGH ALL NHL HISTORY.
Can't even get a winning record at home against us.

Once again.
SCOREBOARD.

[NY RANGER]

STANLEY is written on the side of you three girls.

You have no right to talk. Look at your sig. what a joke. You changed logos and jerseys just to let you know. Things change. deal with it already, god!

Your opinion doesn't even matter if you can't figure out sabres hockey is blue and gold and is what it is now for gods sake, grow up already.

Then again, what would it matter? Your gonna get owned this year 4 times by the rangers anyways, so talk all you want because everything your saying is far from credible, your avatar and sig proves that fact, so keep talking and making a joke of yourself.

[original6]

There is NO RIVALRY BETWEEN THE SABRES AND LEAFS! I am not even a leafs fan and I can tell you that people in this city flat out don't give a crap about the sabres unless they face em in the playoffs or something.

People here still hate Detroit more than they hate Buffalo. It's mostly just the Sens these days with the Habs somewhere in the background.

Stop making this a one way rivalry... it's dumb. Bruins and Sabres is a better rivalry imo.

[MillerRocks30]

Rangers Suck, And Nwf Sucks Even More!!

[nyjunc]

The isles are a small market team and have a great rivalry w/ the rangers.

[anEinherjer]

I got an idea for the range, if jackasses get a negative rep don't allow 'em to start a frigging thread.

[TMR2006]

I second that motion.

Remember this: You had a chance to get either home ice advantage for at least 1 round,the Atlantic Division title,or both with 9 games to go. And you didn't get the job done. Around here,that's called a choke job.

Care to back up your mouth about the Rangers owning Buffalo? Here's the offer: If the Rangers have even one loss against Buffalo,no matter the method,you lose.
Last season,the only losses we suffered against the Broadway Blues were via OT/shootout. Which means you couldn't take care of your business in regulation. We did.

BTW,if the guy wants to keep the goathead logo,let 'em.

Oh,one more thing. S-T-A-N-L-E-Y.

Just so you know we Buffaloians CAN spell it.

[SabresFan220]

You Rangers fans really enjoy your online pissing contests don't you? Here's a magnifying glass, you and NWF can compare and leave us the hell alone already.

[ckg68]

We're just like Cornhusker fan: We don't start fights,but we will damned well finish them.
