BillsPride12 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I don't care if you are a fan of a different hockey team or if you don't like hockey but any supposed "Diehard" Bills fan on here talking S*** about the Sabres can F*** Right Off! The Sabres are a huge part of the fabric to WNY and have their place in the Western New York community. 5 1 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Hasek in net and Rick Jeanneret on the play by play. That's the time period that sticks out for me. IMO RJ was one of the best play by play guys in any sport. And ‘05 - ‘07!!! We 100% would have won the Stanley Cup the year after the lockout if we could have gotten past the Hurricanes in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Ugh… 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh… Yes, those years as well, but the mid 90s - 2001 is the time period I really became a fan and started watching every single game religiously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyBoy Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 How many of us here have bought a beer from Conehead, just for the experience, because he was Conehead? Same with The Earl of Bud. I have an autographed picture of The Earl still proudly on display in my house from when I was a young pup. What a gig these guys have had for so long. Great post OP! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! Brad May wins in it overtime. Kind of like when the Bills finally ended streak against Dolphins. Fog game was more significant, but those were 2 huge monkeys off Buffalo's backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I can't believe Conehead is still around (I moved away years ago). Like an earlier poster mentioned, some of my earliest memories are seeing him and the Earl of Bud at the Rockpile at Bisons games as a kid. I loved those games at the Rockpile. Place was usually half empty, so me and the other neighborhood kids would just bounce all over the stadium, trying to find a good spot to snag foul balls. Surprised to see the hate for hockey. Guessing GunnerBill has never been to a game in person. It's the best live sports viewing experience of them all, in my opinion. And this is coming from someone who never played more than after school street and pond hockey as a kid. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey is one of the most exciting sports to watch, especially good playoff hockey. It’s so high paced, with constant change of possession. And physical. Is there anything better than a big open ice hit? Much higher scoring in this era too. So many exciting young players to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyone telling Bills fans not to talk ***** about the worst team in pro sports over the last decade better be a season ticket holder to the Sabres. Douchebags who don't put their money where their mouth is but act like they are the Sabres #1 fan are as useless as t!ts on a bull. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
