Buffalo News: Buffalo's now a hockey town

Re: Buffalo News: Buffalo's now a hockey town

There has never been anything like the late 80's to mid 90's in Buffalo for sports.

A wonderful time for Bills fans to be sure, but the period between 1970 and 1985 was a great time to be a hockey fan as well.

The Knoxes were in it to win it...and gave us some of the most thrilling sports memories in the history of the city.

1st row of Blues, right on one of the blue lines from 1978-83. The best.

Re: Buffalo News: Buffalo's now a hockey town

Gleason article was a great example of Journalistic garbage... not the subject matter just some of the lines in the article ...very poor taste...(ie sexual diease reference)

He should know better...I say this again Buffalo is a football town.. .. We must remember that there a lot fans here who love football and not the Bills...

Most WNY ers love the Sabres, but i would say about over 30 percent or more of sports fans here don't care for what happens when the sabres are out of the playoffs. In football that is not true now or even when the Bills were just going to the playoffs and not superbowls...No matter what the sport fan here is with the NFL untill the end..

Just can't say that about Hockey.. That's why Buffalo will alwys be a hockey town even if the Bills leave.

The Sabres used to sell tickets to any game before the season started, I don't know if they still do, but it was sweet. I bought the teams I wanted to see, or the nights I wanted to go, I went to a lot of games.

Sometimes Center ice in the gold or red, sometimes blues in the corner. This was at the old Aud. I enjoyed the different seats more than if I were in the same seat all the time. We always ran into friends & different friends, not the same ones all the time by moving around.

Re: Buffalo News: Buffalo's now a hockey town

The fact of the matter is, as 29 year resident of this place, this town is a bit of a bandwagon town in that it'll be a Bills or Sabres town depending on who is winning more.

Bills in the '90s? no contest, even with Mogilny and LaFontaine.

Sabres now with an owner who says all the right things and is throwing money around like Dan Snyder? And a team that actually makes the playoffs? Now it's a Sabres town.

Sabres are taking the cup this year. I said it, they will hold it over their collective heads bringing a championship to Buffalo. I really hope so.

get the sand out of your mangina. all of you sabres fanatics were clamoring about a stanley cup and i decided to come in the sabres zone to bring a dose of reality. the sabres were no where near good enough to get past the first round, let alone win the stanley cup.

edit: while i know that the bills suck it doesn't make me a blind homer like you guys were acting last spring.
