I want them to make it so bad. I know chances are so ridiculously slim, but the fact they they still have a chance just makes it hard to let anything go.

My first year in college was a hard time in my life, and it may be lame to say but that 06-07 team made me happy when I thought no one else could.

I was at the game last Saturday with my brother and I had to listen to him consistently degrade the boys, saying how they were a bunch of losers and 'this team sucks', etc. etc. What was worse is that he rubbed off on me, and I yelled down at them after that game that they sucked because they didn't give a full effort. Something I wouldn't have done if I was with my stepdad, or someone else.<BR/><BR/>I was mad at them that night. Mad because I know I won't be able to watch them again until September, after the regular season is over. The only way I find peace is to yell, to ridicule them. <BR/><BR/>They will always be my team, and I will always say things that I don't mean. I love all the boys very much...I guess I'm just the type to get way too emotional. People say it's just a game, but the Sabres really helped me in a tough spot two years ago by making me extremely happy.
