i still watch the sabres, but i couldnt just watch them lose over and over, knowing their GM did it intentionally. i was actually glad it backfired and they didnt get mcdavid. only because it felt like cheating. not that eichel is anything to balk at, he is doing solid play and probably top 5/10 in the league right now.
i found i really enjoy the wild style of play more than buffalo's play. i love watching the forechecking and frustrating opponents. honestly thought, deep down, i will always love the sabres, but i enjoy watching the wild so much. typically when they play the same night, i will watch one live and the other the next day, and just dont check the scores.
anyway, i loved the game last night, even though stalock was rough, seeing Vasilevskiy get lit up was really fun. after the dirty play the lightning do, i am glad to root against them all the time.
