Sports

Well, the Sabres lost the Stanley Cup semi-finals...but not before forcing a game 7 in the series. While it certainly would have been wonderful if they had advanced in the play-offs, I am so excited about the mood here in WNY. In the past, Buffalo has very publicly lost play-off games in many sports and it has always been embarrassing. (Wide Right! No goal!) This time, however, the entire region is standing behind the team that wasn't even supposed to make the play-offs this year, let alone get as far as they did. Not even excessive injuries to their best players kept them from showing up at the games and giving it their all. The days after a big loss in Buffalo are usually spent moaning and complaining about how all of us (read: the men in Buffalo) could have done it better and that we were ROBBED of a victory. The past few days I have heard nothing but what a great team the Sabres are and what a fantastic season they had...we're Talkin' Proud!
