Kevin wrote a post today that really got me thinking. While I agree with all of his individual points about the Sabres, I don’t necessarily think that the city-wide skepticism about this team has been out of proportion.
Skepticism and joyfulness are not mutually exclusive. I’m a skeptic and I love the Sabres.
But damn if that game didn’t knock this skeptic right into outer space.
The key to being a joyful skeptic is making sure you can still marvel when the marveling comes due.
Marvelous
That was a special game and I’m starting to believe that this is a special team. We had everything tonight. Guts, redemption, unlikely heroes, and joy, joy, joy.
Let’s go Buff-a-lo!
Joy even without any Roy!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!
I love your attitutde towards the sabres this season, and this post really sums it up very well! I’m really envious of Buffalo this year. :)
Make Lalime a Western Conference and Pittsburgh specialist. 1 goal in two games against the Pens. (shootout doesn’t count)
The feeling I had walking out of the arena after that wonderful game really felt like a playoff victory. It was glorious.
A Question: I’ve heard the Grier-Kennedy-Vanek line is being referred to at the “Frozen Four”. Do you know why or where that came about?
Aw, thank grrrrreg! This is a fun season so far! *fingers crossed*
Mark B, psrt of me was HUGELY jealous that you were there, and another part of me was SO happy that you two got to go. What a game!
SueinVA, yeah that comes from the name of the NCAA final four “Frozen Four” which they all played in. I love that line, but I do not endorse that nickname….because there are THREE of them, NOT FOUR. :P
Ah! Now it makes sense. I have to agree with you. The name is confusing with the four not three!
