Hat, you and I don't agree often, but I agree here. They have become embarrassing. They act like 5 year olds when someone who has a differen't point of view tries to talk.

Same with the Buffalo news folk. It reminds me of when a kid sticks his fingers in his ears and just yells so he cant hear the other point.

I want to lose as much as the next guy. But I am not open about it, because I'm afraid of karma to be honest.

Hat, I like you man, you seem like a real dude who says what he feels and doesn't say things for the sake of doing it. But you always seem to have such a high level if dissatisfaction with the Sabres, with the fans and the media because they aren't doing things your may. My point is, what has there really been to be happy with? Its a hockey team that hasn't won a playoff series in 8 years. That's a long time. My life has completely changed twice during that span. Go with the flow, they are making things better.

I can say this B-S.
I only want what's the best for my hockey team that I love.
Something I know we all want.

I have said time and time again that I get the other side, the "pro tankers" side, I am not ignorant.
I just won't and can't root against my hockey team that I have loved since their inception.
People are just built differently. It's as simple as that.
It certainly does not make one better than the other.
That's all I have to say on this matter because this issue becomes far too heated for my liking.
We are all fans of our Buffalo Sabres and that we can all agree upon.

I really don't think we are say "rooting" for them to lose. Think it's more the idea of accepting the concept of getting a possible star player as being the only positive of this dismal season. If someone thinks we shouldn't think that way? it's to late in this season to change it. It was set upo that way at before TM came on board. This should be the so called last season of suffering . Thats what I look forward to. Hope they kick ass next year cause I will be cheering for all of the players.

Go Sabres !!!

There's your problem, you take it too personally

Sadly for me, you may be right stash.

Anyway, all you ladies and gents have an excellent day.

I know a lot of you are very happy today, or at least happier.

Agreed. I actually got into a huge argument with my best friend last week after the Boston game. He's acting like what happens with the Sabres actually has an effect on his every day life. I keep telling him to stop taking it all so personally.

I refuse to even go to a game with him at this point. He dragged me out of the Vancouver game in February because they were winning with 8 minutes left and felt the need to yell at me the entire walk out of the arena and back to the car like it was my fault they were winning.

Less than a handful of games left. We are out of the playoff race by a long shot. The only good that will come out of this season is finishing last and People are against this??? Seriously?!?! A few months ago I was on board with the boys trying, when we went on a winning streak & had a chance to turn the season around. At this point people are being ridiculous if they want the statistically worst team in the league to win a few games for the Integrity's sake. I just can't see the logic behind it.

And that, by far, is the #1 pick in this year's draft.

i think it just shows his willingness to get a reaction.. what is the best way to do that, create controversy.. both stories did because they were slamming someone
- IndianaSabresFan

But what about integrity?

Both Bucky and Harrington have brought up things like professionalism and integrity. I guess that only applies to sports teams and fans.

And that can't possibly happen without what has gone on with management, hence why many of us are on board.

If anyone if listening to GR right now, this is what I hate. I completely understand and appreciate Andrew Peters take.

You have callers and other people that refuse to listen. No opinion is right or wrong but many of the pro-tankers feel the need to tell you how wrong your opinion is if you don't agree with it or find it a little crappy.

things like integrity, professionalism and follow rules only apply when making an argument about someone else. see modern day politics, it is the most evident there. I could come up with a million examples, but not going to

I'm finding it surprising that, the closer we get to this thing, despite the fact that we are in the exact place we(management) hoped to be, the arguments are getting more intense. I guess I expected more of a celebration at this point.

I think it's because it's still not a lock. If it was locked there's be excitement PLUS the ability to cheer your team on to wins

I think most figured we'd have 30th place all wrapped up by this point of the season. The fact that there's another team as close as they are is why the arguments keep getting more and more intense. If you look at the overal stats for the season, there's no reason why we shouldn't have 30th place with a giant bow on it already.

Yeah at this point there should be consensus about how sabres fans want the season to finish out. Very bizarre.

I was in college too, but I followed. Social media wasn't quite the juggernaut it is today, so I doubt there was as much publicized talk about it. Also, Crosby came in out of the lockout where the lottery odds were different based on a complete fix and a hockey legend whining.

We've gotten some serious gifts thrown our way in the last 72 hours from Arizona and Edmonton. I just thought that would bring more relief. I hope we lock it up and I can grab tickets to the final game against Pittsburgh and cheer my ass off and never do this again.

Mine may be available. I was supposed to go but leave for Cancun that day. My friend may not want to go. He said if we have 30th locked up he will, but who knows. I could always talk to him about if if you're really that interested.

Just wish there was away to track all the anti-tankers and forever ban them from buying McEichel jerseys. Giving the tankers a hard time all year and not seeing the big picture should have some repercussions. The fans who supported this all along should have rallied together and formed a group and given first opportunity for playoff tickets for the next decade when the team is ready to compete.
