I hate Carolina

Re: I hate Carolina

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

You're preaching to one of the most rabid Hockey markets on the continent.

I'll tell you what fer: When the Carolina Hurricanes pay homage to their legacy and beginnings, by having a "Gordie Howe Night" to honor one of the most storied and respected Hockey legends, and an integral part of their history...
When the Carolina Hurricanes hang the banners/retire the numbers of such players as: Davey Keon, Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Rick Ley, Ulf Samuelsson... Out of respect for the sport, and in honor of their origins as the Whalers... you remember the Whalers, don't you?

When they can do that, as well as fill the arena during the regular season - especially when they aren't in Cup contention? And, by the way, where were you last season, or the season before? Huh?

When they have done these things, you can come back and boast of your fans' committment to the sport of Hockey - And, by all standards, you'll have earned our respect for toughing it out when things are bad. Until then, man-up and take your medicine. You are still viewed as fickle, bandwagon fans, who would desert the sport for greener pastures when it suits you - And find every opportunity to wave a banner you haven't agonized over, in our faces.

It's pretty easy to walk into a sport, win a banner and proclaim yourself an ardent and lifelong fan. You're playing to an empty house here. Nobody cares. You can't convince us to like/cheer for/believe you deserve a team.

Sorry, but those are the facts.

THe Sabres have a rich history, im not denying that fact. As a matter of fact i have been a Canes fan since the begining, 1997, thats right, not a long history, but history none the less. I could give two left nuts about your opinion about me, im here to post on a forum, nothing else. I wave the banner in your face in defense of my team, and in defense of the fans that you say dont deserve a hockey team. Call it what you will, i dont need your approval, or anyone else on here, as far as i know i am the only Canes fan on this site, and i have been here for 5 years, and i will be here for many more.

Because in their eyes, the Canes played 5 on 3 in that Cup year, and injuries ravaged every team that they played. Bitterness is what it is.

Re: I hate Carolina

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

We took you to game 7 with 65% of our defensemen being from the AHL. Our league leading shot blocker went down before game 7 with a mysterious leg infection. There will forever be an asterisk next to 2006 on the stanley cup.

Re: I hate Carolina

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?

Was your post necessary.. seriously?

You're neither a Bills OR Sabres fan... yet you've amassed almost 10,000 posts

LOL!! And yet, once again, we have a Cup, not you!

Re: I hate Carolina

It just boggles my mind, wouldn't you rather talk to people who share similar views and tastes? Is this the only forum you post at? If it's not, you really should step outside or hangout with some family once in a while. (unless you have a desk job then it makes sense)

I do have a desk job for the most part and work overnight. I go outside plenty....thanks. I watch TV and post on my laptop.

That's being said.....I honestly don't give a **** what you think you me. From what I have seen of you and your posts....Being called a loser be you should make me extremely thankful

Re: I hate Carolina

We are pissed about that and we complain about it all the time. But that has nothing to do with Carolina fans being bandwagon jumpers.

Exactly...anybody on here knows how fond I am of the FO of the Sabres!
