I'm going to agree with dixiegirl687 and john_c but add:\n\n8. You're giving the rest of us in the military a bad name.  \n\nHockey in the south is not a fad; there are plenty of us who do know hockey, and trying to perpetuate an ignorant image only makes you look bad.

OK since a bunch of stupid people thought it was for Americans how about if I give the REAL STORY of this. Hockey isn't a very popular sport among ratings. Actually if the ratings were 1-2% the league just about has a heart attack. Well Fox has become a sports network and did excellent with the NFL. They thought they would try to bring intrest to hockey. After all they were paying all that money for the contract they thought MAYBE they could raise the ratings and make it worthwhile. So they went out and talked to non-fans(not just Americans to those in Canada that need to GROW-UP) and asked why they didn't like/watch hockey. They were being told it was hard to follow, among other things people weren't sure where the puck was. So Fox put the chip in so they could make the puck glow, and they could show it "through" the wall when it got too close to the wall. It allowed people to know where the puck was better. Well here comes the problem. The purists HATED the glowing puck, it was actually kinda distracting by how big it made the puck look. The bigger problem though was that RATINGS WENT DOWN. See the non-fans didn't start watching and the purists and people who were fans for the most part stopped watching. So the "Glow" puck and the Comet Trail were ended. The Comet trail for those who forget was when a slap shot was taken. If the puck went above like 90mph a little trail was shown from where the shot was taken to where it stopped and the speed. That wasn't really liked by the purists either but honestly it wasn't as bad as the glow puck. I mean it only showed on for a few seconds at most.

Disappointing to see a Canadian team out of the playoffs, but coming from an Avalanche fan, that's good for me!  Can't really put a finger on what happened to the Canucks this year, started off really well but I think it was a combination of injuries, inconsistent goaltending and Naslund/Morrison/Bertuzzi never really getting going.  I think Crawford's time has come as well as Bertuzzi and possibly Naslund as well.  Will be changes for next year.

Well Don'tW@tch I'd say you don't understand much about the Steelers. To the first idiot actually Steeler Country is part of the team. WE the fans are part of the team. If you don't think that the Terriable Towel has ever rallied the team then you don't understand why it is "Steeler's Gold" and I wish people would stop calling that yellow. We have a ownership that is a family that has held it since 1933 and lot's more bad times then good. We have a coach who is from the city. We are part of the team as fans and the Rooney's would tell you that they consider the fans to be a part of the team. You claim to be a true fan but you don't think fans have any influence? What are you a "true" fan of? Personally I was thinking the same thing as far as we should get rid of Holmes. I mean fine I can deal with the first situation. He likely got drunk and was being stupid. It was Memorial Day and people do that. This one though he needs to remember what team he is with. As to the "new found fame" I don't buy that. We didn't take him from some little no name school. He isn't anymore famous then he was then. I'd say have a talk with him at least.

YEAAAA they'll come back and take it all! Oilers suck and i think niedermayer is awesome! Go ducks and Joffrey Lupul and Ilya Bryzgalov need to save us!

I am a disfranchised Hartford Whalers fan who loves great goaltending. Marty's my boy... guess I'm a Devs fan by proxy.

Fantastic! I finally found a fellow Sabres fan in YA. Where have you been? I've been posting in a desert here. The Buffalo Sabres are the surprise team of the NHL this season (along with the Carolina Hurricanes) and I'd love to think they can win it all... But there is the dread Buffalo curse ("NO GOAL" vs Dallas in the 1999 Stanley Cup final and of course the Bills' 4 straight Super Bowl defeats in the '90s), so try not to get your hopes up too high. Whatever happens, we have the best young goaltender in the league (Ryan Miller) and a club that works hard and plays like a team. We have as good a chance as any of the favourites. Let's Go Buffalo!

It's better than just "good," Moon, it is AWESOME! My Sabres are playing so consistently well that none can stop them on their quest of the Cup. I honestly believe we can and will win it all! \n\nKeep rooting for Buffalo because we are going all the way!\n\nGO SABRES!!!

Hey Awesome Bill! I'm a huge Flyers fan and I'm so annoyed year in and year out how they try to sell us on "Golly, these boys are so big when they start hitting the other team, they'll wear 'em down" etc etc etc. They ALWAYS say that, and what happens? The other team skates past them. You can't hit what you can't catch! I think you've got it rather close to the mark - they've got that Broad Street Bullies mentality even though hockey has moved on long ago. \n\nPlus, they pay so much, it's like there's no heart. The Flyers don't just exit each season, they do the Wle E. Coyote thing - they fall down, get run over by a steamroller, then a 1000 pound weight drops on 'em. I'm from Philly - all we ask is GO DOWN SWINGING!!!! Instead, The Flyers just roll over and die - no heart. Didn't they lose their last game this year like 6-0???? ARGH!\n\nGood question. Thanks for the excuse to vent. \n\nHopefully the 'Canes win tonight for Brind'Amour.

I really appreciate Georgie Peorgies comment that it would be nice to see some Canadians teams because "after all, it is a Canadian sport and why did us Americans take it away."\n\nExactly.  \n\nNashville was facing elimination tonight and they didn't even sell out the arena.  Lame.  I mean, what else was happening tonight in Nashville?  Country music?  WWE Wrestling?  Doesn't matter, that's your interest, certainly not hockey.  Who's bright idea was it to take away a perfectly good hockey team in Winnipeg and Quebec (crawling with hockey fans) and create a team in freakin' Nashville?  Someone (hmmm Gary Bettman) should be shot.\n\nHere in Montreal people are crawling all over each other just to get a seat in a bar.  It's stupid and it pisses every single Canadian off right down to the bone.  And we're sorry about winning the World Series' back in the day,  (when the Blue Jays won all those years back).  I would trade that 1000 times over just to see the Stanley Cup back in Canada thank you very much. \n\nOkay, onto the real discussion:  New Jersey and San Jose.  There's no question.  I would love to see Edmonton, or Calgary, or Montreal or Ottawa, but if these teams all make the 2nd round, they'll eliminate each other.\n\nBesides, no one can beat New Jersey now.  15 wins in a row!?  I mean, Elias is so much on fire that you can practically see fire burning off his jersey, Brodeur is a stone wall with experience, and Gionta, Madden, etc. it doesn't matter:  No one is beating New Jersey (I say this, and I am a true New Jersey Devils hater.  I hate New Jersey and their stupid faces.) \n\nSan Jose is also too strong.  Calgary's the only team with a chance, and I don't like their chances.\n\nSo:  New Jersey vs. San Jose and New Jersey in 4.\n\nPS - what really pisses us Canadians off is that like %60 of the league is Canadian.  So we're seeing Canadians fighting Canadians every single night in the name of some lame team name like "the Predators" to a crowd that rates the excitement factor of the game somewhere between darts and lawn bowling.  Stupid.  Bettman can put that in his pipe and smoke it.

Are you kidding, Moon? The Buffalo Sabres have been my team since their inception. I was only 6 when they made their NHL debut in 1970. Gilbert Perreault was my childhood hero growing up in those snowy Buffalo winters I recall so fondly. Erm, those same winters become less fun as one ages, I can tell you. lol...\n\nAlthough I've not lived there in many a winter I remain steadfastly loyal to the Sabres and have thoroughly enjoyed this exciting comeback season and playoffs -- and we're not finished yet! Although we lost to favoured Ottawa last night, we're still up 3-1 in the series and I believe we'll finish them off on Saturday (Monday at latest).\n\nAs for who their best players are, please bear in mind that these talented young Sabres are a team with a capital T. They are something of a no-name cast who outwork, outskate and outhustle every team they face. I adore this club! The consensus best players are: Ryan Miller (their exceptional rookie goaltender), Daniel Briere (co-captain), J.P. Dumont (Briere's linemate and close friend), Jochen Hecht (3rd member of that line and the team's best defensive forward), Chris Drury (the other co-captain), Maxim Afinogenov (best and fastest skater and playmaker) and their younger future star players like Tim Connolly, Ales Kotalik, Derek Roy and Brian Campbell. I'm leaving players out because, by rights, I should just name the entire team. It's just an amazing group of players (and coaches) who get along great and support each other on and off the ice. I LOVE this freaking team and, baby, we are going ALL THE WAY!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! \n\nP.S. Thank you for asking! :)

i live in denver and am huge bronco fan. dont know why everyone seemed so suprised by his road rage. this is the same guy who has flipped of fans and yelled at them. He obviously has anger issues. As much as I love the broncos I could definetly live with out plummer (especially since I blame our loss to the steelers on him)
