Congrats to the Panthers on a well deserved Stanley Cup win, but their celebration appears to be orders of magnitude smaller than the crowd that gathers at the same venue for every Bills away game in Miami.  I saw a report that the Bandits game aired on CW had more local viewers in Buffalo than the Panthers cup finals had in Miami.  Its criminal that we do not have a competent hockey team in such a rabid market.

We are 8 days away from crushing some kids dream of playing in the Cup finals.

Based on recent history, that kid is 5 years and 8 days away from being traded and playing in the Cup finals.

I don't know if there is any truth to this but

sigh... "

The Rangers and Islanders could both use a speedy winger like Peterka to improve their rosters as they try to climb up the Eastern Conference.

And the Sabres? Well, they are stuck in an eternal rebuild, and trading away Peterka would just be the latest chapter in that depressing story."

Why are there even stories out there that the Sabres are going to trade JJ Peterka? Has it been 5 years already?

I think the Sabres are providing a valuable service to these young players. Once they've played in Buffalo and been traded, they're inspired to never get stuck in that situation again.
