I love hockey. The Sabres are my team; and have been for as long as I can remember. I can still remember being about 9 years old and my parents, and my little brother and some neighbors and their kids all piled into a couple of cars and drove to Cleveland to watch the Sabres play the Cleveland Barons. We won 13-3. I remember the chants (1..2..3..4..5 we want 6). I remember when we got there, these girls (young like me) were bragging about how great their team was, and how we rubbed every single goal in their face, by waving our Sabres banners in the air.

I remember games at the Aud. I remember raising the roof for Bob Sauve. I remember the great years with Tom Barasso and Dominic Hasek, and all the other greats. There was never a better time than sitting up there in the oranges at the Aud, hoping you didn't fall, and watching some great hockey - without all the equipment they wear now. I remember thinking of the irony of Playfairs name - although in hindsight, he played fair, he just liked to fight.

In any case, I'm a Sabres Girl, through and through. I'll watch football, as long as it doesn't interfere with a hockey game.

Oh, and I hate the Leafs ;)
