Hurray for my Sabres!! 2-0 against the Flyers in the Quarterfinals!! May they be able to keep this up and go all the way!!!

Colin - this is the stuff on ice not grass. By the way men play field hockey too (ask our Pakistani and Indian members).

I might be willing to follow the Sabres if they kept the same name for their arena for more than 6 weeks at a time (lol).

The last time I watched the Flames play they weren't allowed to fight for fear of getting sued, waste of bloody good money going to watch it

On ice? ah yes - I think I've seen the out-take where they break the safety glass in one match. I didn't know men play hockey, thats a bit girly isn't it? - needless to say it doesn't get much airtime on UK TV

Yeah - girly. Well, it's too bad you don't see it much over there, you're missing some good fights, eyes getting popped out, shoulder-to-nose concussion-making hits, perhaps even some blood!! Oh, yeah, and then there is the actual play.....

Yes that's the problem with attending mixed schools, we men get to see how females behave in a group

I believe that was Henny Youngman's line

I believe that John is correct; Wikipedia amoungst other sources seem to back him at any rate!

Henny's favourite line:

And so, my Sabres crush the Flyers in a fantastic display of hockey, and on to the 2nd round!!! Bring on the Senators!!!!!

The Sabres are looking awfully good. They brushed aside a good Flyers team and barely broke a sweat.

I don't know if you're old enough to remember the last time the Sabres made the final. Pereault, Martin and the rest of the French Connection (Sabres were still wearing blue back then). I just remember the fog in the old "Aud".

 

[statsman]

Holy Toledo!!!! The Sabres beat the Ottawa Senators in five games. Could it be this Buffalo bunch are for real?

Sorry to steal your thunder, but I lived in Ottawa for a while. Who do the Sabres meet in the next round? I'm beginning to believe.
