I have NHL.com Top Stories on Google- here are their 3 headlines:

Flames lose in Keenan's return

Drury a hit in Rangers debut

Briere nets winner in Flyers debut

I love it how two guys we failed to re-sign are scoring goals for conference teams that are going to be competing with us for playoff spots/positioning in a few months.

I am bitter about losing at least one of those guys, but c'mon, it was one frickin' game. Let's try to at least wait until December before we start spewing things that everyone thinks anyway.

Are you guys going to cry about Drury and Briere all year long?

They are not Sabres anymore. Get over it.

I have no doubts that Drury and Briere are going to succeed on their new teams. They are good players.

we had the opportunity to keep these guys and failed to do so. Now, they're helping the competition. And their loss may or may not hurt the team- we'll start finding out in 6 hours. So, why should we get over it when it's still affecting the team?

um, Drury and Briere playing for other teams instead of the Sabres most certainly has bearing on future events.

I don't understand you sometimes. If you want the team to win, how can you just go "oh well- doesn't bother me" when some dumbass FO suit makes a stupid decision that's going to keep the team from winning? It makes no sense.

There is nothing you can do about it so going ape **** over it after every single game is only going to drive you crazy. Just relax.

No your *****ING is what has no bearing. That is what I meant.

What is not to get? I don't get my panties in a bunch over things. As I have stated hundreds of times why bother? Sports are here for enjoyment not stress and sadness.

I used to be like you when I was in high school, maybe even worse but I realized in the past 5 or so years that there is no point in it. I had to either stop watching sports(which will never happen) or not worry so much about it.

Take last nights Yankees thrashing for example. If that happened 10 years ago I would have been beside myself. Last night I just turned it off and went about my business.

I fully understand that there's no point to getting so upset over sports, I just don't have this ability to just say "well I don't let it bother me" like everyone else does. Something happens, and either it bothers me or it doesn't. It's not a conscious choice. I can pretend it doesn't bother me, but I can only do that for so long, then it usually manifests itself by lashing out at something completely unrelated.

Like most fans, I spend a lot of time, energy and money following sports. When I have that kind of investment in it and something happens that prevents the outcome I want, it's going to bother me.

That's you. Don't try to turn other people into you. Deal with it or ignore it. You came into this thread.

Crybabies are people who cry for no reason. We lost our two best players and replace them with no one, yet you're not concerned. Your ignorance does not make us crybabies, and neither does acknowledging serious problems.

You're in these threads crying about them. You're just as bad. In fact, I say worse because we're crying about things that actually matter.
