Can you keep watching hockey

[Buffalogic]

I'm super gung-ho about hockey all year. I watch every sabres game. I love it and blab about it all day, especially when sabres are in the playoffs.

But as soon as they are eliminated it's like a battery turns off and I just can't bring myself to watch hockey anymore for that season. Anyone else like that?

[Michael82]

Nah, once the Sabres are out, hockey is dead to me. I watch the Stanley Cup finals and may catch one of two playoff games if nothing else is on...but I don't really care about the NHL now until the offseason to see what the Sabres do.

[OpIv37]

Yup.

I said this in another thread. Once the Bills or the Sabres are out of it, I have a hard time watching- mainly because the difference in talent between the teams still playing and our team becomes painfully obvious.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

I have watched almost every game in the playoffs and I don't intend to stop. The Bruins-Flyers game was a great game yesterday.

[lordofgun]

Stanley Cup playoffs are fantastic regardless of the Sabres' fate.

[G Wolly]

I'm not just a Buffalo fan, but a sports fan in general.

I grew up with football and hockey in my life so it's a natural thing for me to keep watching.

That's also why I have other teams to root for :up:

[MikeInRoch]

I continue to watch games. Playoff hockey is awesome.

[Buffalogic]

I can watch the NFL playoffs because the bills usually are eliminated before they start. But damn when the sabres lose hockey goes into hibernation. I guess that's the work of failed expectation.

[Ground Chuck]

The Habs - Pens game was good today.

[tampabay25690]

YEs indeed I luv to watch playoff hockey

[JD]

I used to be like that, but fantasy leagues had me paying more attention to other teams and I began to like certain players so I watch them whether the Sabres are on or not

[G Wolly]

I like to see what our team is supposed to play like...

[jamze132]

I haven't been able to watch a Sabres game since last season so its not hard to not watch the rest of the playoffs.

[DMBcrew36]

I've watched nearly every game in the semis so far. I will likely continue to watch every game I can. I am a hockey fan as much as I am a Sabres fan.

[Ground Chuck]

It's hard to watch Bruins - Flyers. I hate both those teams.

[Rumpleforeskin]

watching as many games as I can

[OpIv37]

I don't have that much time to sit on my ass in front of the TV these days. At this point, I'd rather spend that time playing PS3 than watching teams who are better than the Sabres compete for a prize that the Sabres have already been eliminated from winning.

Isn't there a shirtless picture of Patrick Kane that you should be drooling over?

[Bufftp]

Yes. Just as I watch the NCCA Basketball tournament even w/o the Hawkeyes in it. The Stanly Cup Playoffs are the most exciting tournament in sports, and I love hockey!

What makes you think I like Pat Kane?

Because we grew up in the same area?

Or because of his mullet?

:schmoll:

I honestly don't care much for him.

Byfuglien's my guy.

I'm with ya...I think it's more annoyance over the Sabres and their lack of the franchise desire to win a Cup that stops me from watching after the Sabres are eliminated. I just hate watching the other organizations and the teams they put together to win a championship...it drives me nuts knowing that the Sabres could do it...if they wanted to.

[RockStar36]

I can still watch it but I will not go out of my way to do so. I watched most of the MTL/PIT game yesterday while doing chores around the house. The Sabres are the only team that get my undivided attention.

I'll check the scores and stuff online but the last 8 months nhl network was burned into my tv screen and now I just turn the channel off real quick all disgruntled and salty about it.

gross

I don't follow any sport that doesn't have a Buffalo team still competing.
