I hate Carolina

[BlackMetalNinja]

I'll pop in long enough to say this, because if I get started on this topic, you'll be hard pressed to shut me up.

As of this post, you can still get 4 tickets together for the first home game in Carolina:

Oh, and don't forget this flood of tickets from the ever so devoted season ticket holders:

It's not even that I truly dislike the team, they're a talented team, but the majority of the fan base is pathetic and I can't stand them in the least. Hockey only exists from mid April until the team is eliminated.. IF they make the playoffs of course. Sure, there are some decent fans that are really into the team, most of them are converted fans of other teams however.

Dear 'Canes fans:

FYI, the season starts in October, not April.

[BleedinGreenNC]

if all those fans had been around since 1997 you'd have a point, but most jumped on board in '06 when they won the Cup. Hell, the Canes couldn't even sell out their playoff games that year after they got down a couple of games. That's how fairweather those mother****ers are. The Sabres haven't made the playoffs in 2 years and still get better than 18,000 a game and sell out most games. And they had 95% season ticket renewal. How exactly is the fan base "pathetic?" Wait til Carolina misses the playoffs two years in a row and see how empty that arena is.

I became a fan of the Canes when i moved down here from NY in '97, label us what you want, i dont care if people dont go, that just gives me a chance to go and watch them play. Playoff games mean more income for the team, guess the Canes arent doing too bad.

[BleedinGreenNC]

FYI for you Sabre fans;

1. We dont care that you think we are badwagon fans

2. We are enjoying the playoffs thanks to our team

3. We had the opportunity to watch our team raise the Cup

Poke fun, complain, mock our fanbase, doesnt matter, we are still playing.

I do agree with the conversion aspect, i grew up in NY and came from a family that pulls for the Rangers and Islanders, needed a change and that is where i became a Canes fan.

On a side note, did you get that house out in Holly Springs? I just signed a contract for Washington Square at Amberly, nice place, check it out if you havent gotten your house yet, hope all is well.

You don't care if people don't go? That's fine, but don't come in here and say Sabres fans are pathetic when you can't even sell out PLAYOFF games. I'm sure the Canes have some die-hard fans and it sounds like you're one of them, but most of the fans are casual and the number of tickets available for a playoff game proves it. Our fans show up no matter what.

Hell, before the Caps got hot last year, no one was buying tickets and Sabres fans would take over the arena here in DC, and Buffalo is 400 miles away. When was the last time Canes fans took over an away game? Oh right- never.

Point taken, When was the last time the Sabres won the Cup, thats right, NEVER! Keep on with it Sally!

[SabreEleven]

Who won the luckiest Cup in the history of ever? 'Canes...without the injures to the Sabres and Oilers, the Canes would have never won.

[BleedinGreenNC]

Doesnt take away the fact that we have a Cup now does it?

[SabreEleven]

It is tainted in my book and that is all that matter's

[BleedinGreenNC]

Because you the all knowing record keeper right?

[SabreEleven]

I'm keeper of "Luckiest Stanley Cup Wins in History" list

[BleedinGreenNC]

I'm keeper of "Luckiest Stanley Cup Wins in History" list

And you would be part of the "My team has no Stanley Cups" list. Keep reaching.

[SabreEleven]

If you can live with your tainted Cup, who am I to argue?

[BleedinGreenNC]

I can live with the Canes being on the Stanley Cup, and it doesnt say tainted on it.

But the Cane fans are bandwagon *****es which is the worst thing a fan could be.

LOL!! But we still won the Cup! Nuff said.

Yes, we did buy it... We've been here since last June now. Good luck with your place!

As for the rest, again, I'm not getting into it, I could go on for days, but nobody is going to change the other's mind in here, so it's pointless.

Congrats on that! Thanks man!

On the other part, very true, case closed.

[Mr. Pink]

Oh, by the way, didn't see you in here much until they were in the finals. Umm, that is kind of like a bandwagon fan.

Seen that argument made against me as well...I've been a fan of the Penguins since I was younger and Cleveland was the IHL affiliate of the team. That combined with Mario Lemieux made it very easy to follow/like them. I've also had the penguin logo on my deal since about a month after I joined the site.

I just don't post in this forum often because I don't have very many good things to say about the Sabres as a product, an organization or as a team. With the fan support this city has for that team, their cheap ass owner and incompetent front office should do better.

However none of their on ice product will change with the current power structure in place.

Just because bleed doesn't post in here often doesn't mean he's less of a hockey or hurricane fan. What honestly do you think he has to add to a forum that is mainly Sabres based?
