So overall they are in a good place to be right now, but they worry me nonetheless. Just as long as they find a way to win and do so come playoff time.
I will take the Bruins in the playoffs any day. As I already said the Senators and the Flyers scare me. Although we have had our share of problems with Boston this year too; it should be fun.
| Wow! You really live in enemy territory. I have to wonder if you've gone to any Hurricanes games since you live in the Raleigh area.
That's ok. My Sabres and the Hurricanes have a real hate toward each other. | 
Yes, in fact I was just at the Caps/Canes game last week. I see the Pens play their two games here every season (which since I moved here in fall of 2006, the Pens have lost all four games at the RBC center!). I live only 10 miles from the arena so I catch several games during the season. Sometimes I get invited to a local companies box suite, sometimes by a season ticket holder in the office and sometimes I just go to see some hockey with my kids. But I splurge on the good seats when Pittsburgh is in town. There are a lot of fans down here so I am not too alone.
I am just waiting for the day when I will actually see them win in Raleigh....
Next season in addition to the local Carolina games I am considering making the trip to DC to see the two road games against the Caps. The Caps fans resent the fact that there are just as many Pittsburgh fans at those games as Capital fans  |
Chris, take a look at this thread:
Cane hate? - SabreSpace.com Forums
BTW, I know this is slightly
, but there are three guys I wish were still playing for the Sabres: Rob Ray (retired about 4-5 years ago), Brad May (still with the Ducks), and Matthew Barnaby (retired last year). I call them the Sabres' version of the Hanson brothers.
