HAHA!!! Thank you! Seriously though it's not that big of a deal. Like I said, the Caps would have smoked us anyways. This was not our year. You know what though, there's always tomorrow!
With Mike Modano gone the last of my reasons to root for the Stars are too. I stopped watching the NHL when they left Minny, but then I was stationed at Fort Hood, TX from '95 to '01 and found myself liking a lot of players on the team. The Sabres and Devils were the Eastern versions of the Stars and it was funny that they had to play them both in the Cup Finals.
HAHA! Sharke was the reason I stayed out of those threads. I know the know dude hates the sabes. As far as being a Stars fan, no biggie. Don't get me wrong, in Buffalo, HULL is still a big bad 4 letter word but it has been over a decade. I've mellowed as the Sabres steadied into a first round of the playoffs elimination grove.
Yeah I hear ya, the Wild haven't given me anything to get excited about for 3 years now. By the way, I was a Stars fan when they won the Cup in 1999... don't hate me.
When I saw your sig, I was mostly thinking how fun it would have been for you to have posted in the NHL threads Sharke used to put up every season. :(
I don't think this is the Sabres year. They've been inconsistent at best this whole season. A tighter in the playoffs. Nothing astonishing though. Even if they squeak by the Flyers I have my doubts about taking on the Capitals. The Sabres just aren't on their level yet. Next season though. I think a lot of stuff is going to come together.
