That is HONESTLY the dumbest thing I have ever had the unfortunate experience of reading IN MY LIFE.

^ x2.

you typically support a local team to begin with and two, maybe some people didn't like hockey until they saw it themselves or something like that.

5/16/2006 10:57:05 PM

well at least a good majority of the northeners who moved down here had sense enough to support their local team

^ kinda what he said.

Maybe people are just starting to pay attention to hockey bc the canes are good, but who cares?

If it's spreading a great game like hockey to the south, which should've welcomed it a long time ago, then that's a good thing that true hockey fans should embrace, not bash the fans, possibly scaring them away and keeping hockey from catching on further

5/16/2006 11:04:08 PM

kid can suck my dick. I was a Whalers fan as a kid and will continue to be a whalers/canes fan.

And I don't want to hear shit from a Sabres fan since the sabres have one of the smallest arenas in the NHL and cannot sell it out still.

5/16/2006 11:07:00 PM

Hartford CT owns the rights to the name and logos.

5/16/2006 11:09:33 PM

oh yea, I thought they were gonna bring the team back after some time

I remember the town being really sad and stuff, I was even sad, and the whalers weren't even my team

Just b/c you haven't been a fan so blah blah blah years doesnt mean that you arent a good fan or that your knowledge sucks. I mean I was a fan for 10 years and i still dont know shit just like you. But hey what do i know about hockey its not like I have been playing for a long time or coach or really do anything with hockey because im from the south.

Go Capitals!

Go Canes!

5/17/2006 12:19:10 AM

Its just too easy to get you southeners going

5/17/2006 6:59:22 AM

Sorry that we actually take pride in our team. Maybe if Buffalo fans had been doing that over the past few years there wouldn't be the persistant rumors of the Sabres moving.

5/17/2006 7:35:23 AM

Go Canes!!! Destroy the BuffalNO Sabres

jackface. I wasn't supporting getting rid of the "cocktail party", I was saying if I was a badass QB or something, I'd probably go to UGA or UF, those girls are hot down there. Now fucking come back from St. Louis so I can snag one of your dad's kick-ass tickets to these games.

5/17/2006 9:43:59 AM

A Buffalo fan was acting like a giant douche at the shootout win during the regular season. When we called him on it, he turned around and picked a fight with...the middle-aged lady. Buffalo fans pick on middle-aged ladies!

The thing is, out of all of us there, the middle-aged lady would probably have kicked his ass the hardest had it actually come to blows. But that's not the point.

Also, from an interview I heard on the radio this morning:

I have 2 tickets in section 323 for Game 1 and cannot go . Selling for playoff strip face value which is $120 for the pair. These tickets would cost you a bit over 100$ each on TicketBastard. PM me if you would like them. They are on a first-pay, first-serve basis.

FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER. YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT SHIT. NOW GO EAT A FUCKING DICK AND DIE.

5/17/2006 11:33:30 AM

there's no threat of the sabres leaving buffalo, i just think it humorous the way everyone said the sabres were going to suck this year and that we had a team of nobodies, and now we have a chance to go to the stanley cup finals

Also i don't take a whole fan base and judge them by one of the fans like the middle age lady joke but if I did, I could say yall are a bunch of drunk ass trailer trash rednecks, now would that be a good generalization, i think not but thats how yall think i guess.

Finally, how bout we just watch the series and see what happens, you can talk all the junk you want and that won't change whats going to happen on the ice.

5/17/2006 1:16:16 PM

They had to switch the Carolina bandwagon to a double-decker bus this year !

Because that's very, very different from what people said about the Hurricanes.

5/17/2006 2:20:03 PM

5/17/2006 2:25:21 PM

I think so. I just did a double take because I read this, and then I saw the same tickets for sale there.

5/17/2006 3:24:09 PM

me too. section 323.

5/17/2006 3:29:29 PM

Am I crazy for thinking that I can get tickets for less than 50 a piece?

5/17/2006 4:04:17 PM

real or fake ones?

5/17/2006 4:06:37 PM

real, let me phrase it in a different way.

How much did you guys pay for the 1st two rounds, bc I could've gotten tix for 20 a pop during both rounds.

Just trying to figure out how much my hookup price is gonna skyrocket

5/17/2006 4:07:43 PM

Price for my seats was 60$ per seat. There are 1 or 2 sections cheaper than that. That is with a season ticket holder discount. Ticketmaster price for my seats is 90$ plus fees. My seats during the regular season were 21$. 1st round they were 28, then 33 in the 2nd.

5/17/2006 4:09:52 PM

^thx

5/17/2006 4:21:16 PM

holy shit tickets are expensive for anything other than 3rd floor..

2nd floor is $195 plus the "convenience" fee of $13.50 each ticket (for section 202 anyway).. and that hurts.. i was looking at ticketmaster and even saw section 107 row K at one point but couldn't decide if i wanted to get a few people to go in two minutes which is all ticketmaster will let you hold them for.. its pretty bad you have to checkout in like 5 minutes if you want tickets otherwise you have to try to get them again.

what are ticket prices looking like for the sabres series?

5/18/2006 1:50:22 AM

$texas, for serious.

BTW, ftw...the 2nd (Club) Level is more expensive than the 1st Level/Lower Bowl.

5/18/2006 2:00:21 AM

1st round, Game 2: Scalped ticket -section 311-$15
2nd round game 2: Scalped ticket- section 314 row A: $40
3rd round game 5: Ticketmaster- section 312 Row K: $70

5/18/2006 2:13:05 AM

My best memory of '02 is sitting in the very last row of a 300 section behind Irbe's goal (most of the night) during Game 3 of the SCF. I stood up for nearly the entire game.

5/18/2006 2:16:57 AM

so who all's going?

5/18/2006 2:33:27 AM

I'll be there Saturday but not Monday, dunno about the rest. I told them to take a hike when they asked for $1000, but I got offered one for Saturday so I'm there.

ESPN writeup for the series is up:

5/18/2006 10:25:00 AM

Gotta love ESPN and their accuracy. I've only made it through the first three paragraphs..and I get this:

"Playing under pressure? Forget it. The two teams are a combined 7-0 in overtime this spring."

Umm. Hi. Game 2 vs. the Habs. We lost on 2 OT.

DO YOUR RESEARCH.

(** or maybe he's being sly and technically means we're undefeated in SINGLE overtimes. **)
