Detroit May Be HockeyTown, But Buffalo Is Hockey Heaven

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a hockey heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a team, team, team

And no, this is not an April Fools joke. This all comes from a quote from the Sabres new President and day-to-day operations, Ted Black, when he said:




The term has been used as well in this following article about recent ratings:

Without a Cup however, I feel like Buffalo is a little spot in Heaven just outside the Pearly Gates, and Saint Peter is treating us like a fat chick trying to get into a night club.

Purgatory?

Wow, talk about arrogant. Next thing you will calling yourselves the centre of the univ...

Erm, never mind.

Several years back Daren Puppa & Tom Barrasso did that..

Tom Barrasso was an exceptional Sabre goaltender, however, he arrogantly once glossed himself "AW 30" when he manned the blue in Buffalo. "AW" referred to "All World". Barrasso was never lacking for self confidence. His net partner, Daren Puppa one-upped Barasso and dubbed himself "AU 31", for "All Universe".

True story - those initials were painted on the back of their respective helmets!!

Then again, he is trying to pick up dudes over on the water cooler, so I'd be careful what you ask for Boss.

You can't have Heaven without Hell, plus a snowball most certainly has a chance here.
