So how about I just realized that I haven't posted in a week and a half??
Life and work (wait, we actually WORK at work??) gets in the way sometimes......
I promise a bevy of posts in the next few days, I'd promise a live blog tomorrow night too, but then I realize we're playing the Devils. That's probably not a good idea considering what happened LAST time.....

Reverse the Curse!!
“We’re on a mission.” – Lindy Ruff
On NHL.com today is Buffalo’s entry into the continuing “Countdown to the Quest” series, describing the hopes and dreams of the playoff contenders and their storied (or in our case, not so storied) histories.
http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=290546
Most of it focuses on how the fans (well, most of them anyways) stood by the team through heartbreak after heartbreak, through bankruptcy, changes in ownership, and years of mediocrity.
But is there really a “curse” that’s the cause of these last 35 championship-less years??
Bills legend Thurman Thomas points back to the sale of the NBA’s Buffalo Braves as the beginning of the hex. It would eventually lead to the relocation of the Braves to San Diego, who are now the Los Angeles Clippers.
Buffalo being the Red Sox of the NHL??? Please God, no. Well, at least we have a “curse” and truckloads of bandwagon fans. That’s about where the similarities end.
All I know is that if this isn’t our year, then it may NEVER happen. And I need some Cup pictures of my own so I’m not subjected to CG’s Canes pictures the rest of my life.
Please Sabres, reverse the curse.

“A Stanley Cup championship would make a world of difference for the Buffalo and
Western New York area. It’s amazing what a sports championship can do to the
morale and outlook of the area. If there is a city that could use a
championship, it is Buffalo.” – Marcel Dionne

“I mean, how much bad luck can one city take,” Thomas asked in an article in the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. “Ever since that guy (Snyder) sold the Buffalo
Braves….Buffalo’s been cursed, like the Bambino.”

What we're about....
Welcome.
As you can already tell, we're a couple that loves hockey. But there's just one problem.....I'm a Sabres fan, she's a Hurricanes fan.
I know what you're thinking....how can that possibly happen? Well, things work in strange ways, and we even credit last season's Eastern finals as bringing us closer together. You know, even though the result wasn't exactly the desired one for me.
What we'll give you:
-Game Day previews for both Buffalo and Carolina
-Intelligent post game reports, analysis, and general ranting and raving about our teams
-Some random stuff around the NHL as it's relevant or important (trades, streaks, how much we hate Atlanta and Ottawa)
-Youtube links!!
-Links to other cool blogs and sites out there we'd like for you to take a look at
-How much our teams hate playing each other and our thoughts when they actually have to.....
What you probably won't see here:
-Anything positive about David Tanabe, Gary Bettman (at least from me), the Ottawa Senators, or the Atlanta Trashers
-"Personal" information other than stories about how much we hate each other's team....that's probably stuff you don't want to know anyways.
I've always wanted to do something like this, including making creative labels for my posts. So expect us to be pretty prolific at this, except on weekends that we're actually spending together. And hopefully we'll have a little fun along the way talking hockey.
