Many Buffalo natives who leave Buffalo on trips or permanently experience a snicker or snide remark when they tell people where they are from. We get judged by our Football teams failures and it becomes a joke for only one side, the people we meet. You see, I don't think the joke is funny anymore and something needs to happen to change it. The Bills may move away down the road and the world may blow up or get destroyed in the interm but anytime before that happens I have one small dream to ask of the current management of the Sabres, DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO Win the cup this year, right now. I don't care if we have to give up Miller for Pronger or Drury and poms for anyone, I want silver shining this year. Whatever the cost, whatever the price, pay the bill if it makes the team better. This is about us winning it all, not making another footnote again.
I want to be able to stop people when they bring up the Bills and put my hand up and say we have the best Hockey team on the planet there. We have the best coach, the best players and the best fans that sold out the whole arena. I want to tell them that we sold twice as many tickets to the Sabres games than the Bills did during the season and we sold out all the games and rocked our opponents nightly.
The person I am speaking to will then have to stick a obligatory hand up and say well I am not that familiar with hockey but those Bills of 1986 we're great and should of won it and that's when I will stop them and say Ironically enough your not that familiar with football either so why am I talking to you again, please STFU.
P.S. The title was based on my favorite Original Star Trek episode, Joan Collins had to die so we all could live. The rest of the NHL needs to do the same so all of us Buffalo fans can live as well.
