VGK thread


Prospector

Recommended Posts

It is hockey season, and the least knowledgable fan of hockey (myself) wants a thread for his team ( I will probably me just talking with myself... but oh well). I am a Bills fan, born and raised in Vegas... so I am not a Sabres fan, because I had never watched the NHL until these past few years. I have played NHL '94 on SEGA a crap ton when I was little... but the Sabres were terrible on that game, so I never used them. (I feel like I needed to explain how I could like the Bills and not the Sabres)

 

Anyways, on to VGK talk! We look strong this year again. Our 2 Goalies, Hill and Thompson look sharp to start the season, and all 8 of our goals have been by different players. The banner raising was pretty cool in Vegas fashion... but tickets are insanely expensive for an  80+ game season. 

 

PS: I am still so happy we beat the dirtiest trash team in the Flordia Panthers... just a bunch of classless goons who can't play between the whistles. It was fun not only beating them, but beating the ever loving heck out of them physically too! I would like to see the Sabres turn it around after the initial rocky start and meet us in the Stanley Cup! That would be fun!

Nothing is fair in sports and credit Vegas for building a winner so quickly but a fanbase whose team has only been in the league for about 5 minutes doesn't deserve a Cup. I am not a Sabres fan (Isles for me) but if any fanbase deserves a championship its Buffalo. I just hope it's a Lombardi as I am a Bills fan. But if the Sabres won the Cup I would be happy for Sabres fans.

I get this line of thinking, but I think it's false. I don't think suffering is required to "deserve" success. The whole "deserves" a championship thing is kinda hokey to me. Nothing in life is fair or equal... some fans are lucky to root for a team with early success, and some are unlucky, but I don't think any fan is more deserving than the next. I don't think I am more deserving of a Bills Superbowl than my friend who is a 9ers fan, even though he has celebrated a few SBs. 

 

Just sounds like sour grapes

Fanbases don't deserve anything except entertainment.
