Professional Ice Hockey Goals
Will the Buffalo Sabres win the Stanley Cup and finally remove the curse of “loserville” from Buffalo, NY?
Let’s talk professional ice hockey.
Poor Buffalo is the hard-luck kid of any major American city. Their football Bills lose 4 straight Super-Bowls in a row–one over a lousy bad kick. The Sabres lose in the NHL Stanley Cup finals to Dallas in 1999 after endless periods of overtime over a highly controversial goal.
With the advent of deindustrialisation, this once huge manufacturing city of Buffalo in the last 27 years have lost more in population and jobs than any major region in the USA. The Siberian winters are legendary, yet the native Buffalonians keep taking it like a punchy boxer in the final round of a blood fest.
If you could invision what Ewan MacColl had in mind when he wrote the folk song, “Dirty Old Town,” you’d immediately think of Buffalo.
Poor ol’ Buffalo, New York.
Hey, I know I’m rooting for these guys.
PS I like the old retro uniforms the best and the new blue and gold are catchy too. Anyway, Buffalo, good luck. The world will be watching.
Haha I hope not being a Maple Leafs fan, now we’re unlucky!!!
A moment of embarssment here, I do have a soft spot for the Sabres… but still…
On a serious note, maybe us teams like Sabres and Leafs do deserve to win but I don’t see it happening anytime soon … unfortunately for both of us!
In all honesty, this year I think the Sharks and unfortunately, the Senator’s (garr….) and Canucks have got the best chances.
Good luck to both of us next year I say!
Just to add I AM in the United Kingdom and DO LOVE ICE HOCKEY
