Buffalo is officially cursed....

[OpIv37]

Tons of injuries on defense- two no-names come up from Rochester and actually play really well. What happens? a shot from just over the blue line bounces off of two players and goes in through a ton of traffic in front of the net.

If that goal ends up being the difference in this game, I think it's proof that the curse lives on. The sports gods hate us.

it would just be truly heartbreaking to watch these guys play their hearts out and lose on a bad ****ing bounce, but very typical of Buffalo sports. You can beat the other team, but then you still have to beat luck and the refs. It's always 3 against 1.

alright, I feel better now. Buffalo got their fluke goal too- if they don't win, it won't be because of that BS luck goal.

[OpIv37]

the curse lives.

All the injuries, that ridiculous goal, the power play at the end.....

Cursed? Cursed? This team was picked to finish at the bottom. The Sabres beat Philly Ottawa and took the Canes to 7 games. If management thought they were going to do this well, they would have made a trade. There is no way, no how, anyone saw the Sabres doing so well. Yet this team got the city excited, got the media to recognizet them, good, bad or indiffernt. This team is not cursed but blessed.

These guys didn't quit and played till the end. A few players are needed on this team, but they were well coached and a lot of young guys including the guys coming in to fill in for the injured players got a lot of experience. Not cursed at all.

We can lose and whine, moan and b*tch.

Or we can lose and congratulate the team for getting this far and look forward to next season.

I choose the latter.

Whiners are part of the problem. They take a bad situation and make it worse. I choose to look forward to the solution.

Nice post Phil.

There's no curse. Curses are excuses for fans of overrated teams like the Red Sox.

The Sabres didn't win. Who even thought they'd make it this far? Cursed? Hardly. After all the excitement and goodwill this team generated, I'd say they're blessed. I'm not happy that they lost tonight, but I'll take this season - and this team - over any of the past 10 years. This team had no superstars, and no quit. They had heart. They played for the fans. They gave everything they had.

There's no curse.

I think that most people are just upset that the Sabres didn't have their full team. We all know that it probably would have been different had we had all of our defenseman. It's just a hard pill to swallow knowing that you were the better team and injuries cost us a legitimate shot at winning the cup.

But the Sabres didn't lose because Buffalo is "cursed". I mean, do we have to sacrifice Jimmy Griffen or something? It's ridiculous.

You don't hear that said very often. :D

no team is blessed until they win a championship.

Was this season better than it would have been if they had finished at the bottom? Of course it was. But at the end of the day, it's just another Buffalo team that got our hopes up but disappointed us when it counted most.

I hear it from myself all the time :D

Yes they are. No way, no how this team should have done that well so soon. It was a tremendous showing for such a young group and they will be back, stronger, just as fast and more determined. You want to know who is cursed? Philly, Ottawa, Detroit, Dallas, The Kings, Toronto and the NYR.
