The Sabres are 1-1-1 against them this year.

They are also 4-1-1 against Boston, who is a much better team.


Sometimes that **** happens in hockey.

Which is kinda what we have been trying to say all along.

1-1-1 against a team right on our heels in the playoff hunt isn't good enough.

I am not saying it is.

My point is that sometimes teams have another teams number.

And, since the two teams are close in the standings, it is not shocking that their head-to-head record is pretty close. That is why they are close in the standings.

Well, luckily if we can stay ahead of them (even if we lose the next game against them) we won't face them in the playoffs.

And lately for us, two of those teams have been Toronto and Carolina.

It happens.

It happens.

It happens? WTF?

We lose to two teams right on our heels for the last playoff spot- one of whom is a division rival and the other cost us a trip to the Cup finals and your reaction as a fan is "it happens?"

That is completely illogical.

Take your own words.

A loss is a loss.

Your idea of questioning mine and everyone's fanhood is stupid and childish just because we aren't as upset as you after every loss

Even if we lost to the top 3 teams in the conference you'd still be pissy about it.

Why can't you understand that not EVERY GAME must and CAN'T be won.

A 1 to 0 loss hurts, against a team that's chasing us. But whining about it and trying to convince us to be more upset won't change the outcome.

So yes. It happens. Learn that.

And they didn't "cost us" a Finals trip. They beat us. You know why?

Because sometimes, professional sports teams get beaten.

And we had a lot of injuries.

Cost us- beat us- it's semantics. They got to go to the finals- we didn't.

Yes, professional sports teams get beaten. But fans of a particular professional sports team want that team to win, because that's the definition of being a fan. So, going "it happens" when they lose is illogical. No, whining about it doesn't change the outcome. And neither does saying "it happens" and acting like it doesn't matter.

And of course I'd be pissy about losing to a top 3 team because it's still losing. Why are you trying to convince me that losing is OK? It's not, especially not to Carolina or Toronto when they're only a few points behind us in the playoff race.

What the hell is your deal?

No one is acting like it "doesn't matter" or is trying to convince you losing ok. Get that through your head.

Us level-headed people just decide it's more healthy to understand the reality of teams can win and lose, that's just how the sports world works and it's why they play, and why we watch.

No one is okay with losing. You just make it worse than it needs to be. We aren't the first team to lose a game, let alone important games.

Op is just a glass half empty type of person. No matter how many times you try to convince him otherwise you will get no where. He is always right so just get that through your heads already. Stop banging your head against the wall.
