Carolina Hurricanes Defeat Buffalo Sabres Game 7

[Clarkson42]

You Cane fans are right. Buffalo should have planned for 5 out of 6 defensemen and 2 out of their top 6 forwards to go down with injury. What was that GM thinking? You guys do realize a team is only allowed 23 men on a roster right?

[slinkydinky999]

And then, all the neanderthals ran out to the parking lot, jumped in there Ford Pintos headed back to Buffalo with there tails between there legs after all the many hours of shit talking.

[slinkydinky999]

Ahhhh ! It was so nice seeing the Buffalo fans running out of the RBC Center after this game. They call people from Carolina rednecks ? What do you call fans that act and look like the mountain men from Deliverance. Buffalo fans ! I've tailgated and had a few beers with Redwing fans, Habs fans, Oiler fans, etc. But nothing compares to the rudest, neanderthalism, grit personality of a Buffalo Sabres fan. Scary people.

[dakuwan0623]

Well said by someone proving their ignorance about hockey in NC and reciting sound bites of the equally ignorant. I love how a real "hockey fan" whines about injuries and doesnt realize building a championship team is about depth. Injuries happen to everyone and champions win they don't make excuses. Oops, you're right i said championship team so of course you'll never know what it takes to win. The better team won and everyone will always know because our name's on the cup. Where's yours?

[FridayNightDldoFight]

@dakuwan0623 Damn skippy, hippy! GO CANES!

[sabrescarygood]

Fuck the carolina hurricanes you suck as fans and they really should move back to hartford where they belong. Carolina doesnt care about hockey they care about nascar. Gary Bettman is screwing up the league moving all these teams in the south. The sabres would have easily won this series and the cup if we werent missing 5 of our defencemen. So enjoy your paper championship because we all know who the better team really was that year.

[FridayNightDldoFight]

@sabrescarygood The canes belonged in Hartford? They put up 10k people, if that, a night. The Canes put up 16k+ a night. I for one don't really like Nascar, and I'm from Raleigh. I would say that filling up the arena to 90% on weeknights and selling out on weekends means that obviously about 18,600 people care about hockey in Raleigh. I also find it funny that you bash hockey teams from the south, but the Canes, Lightning, and Dallas have all won cups... GO CANES! 2006 Champs!

[sabrescarygood]

@FridayNightDldoFight Its a good rivalry ill give it that.

[FridayNightDldoFight]

@sabrescarygood I'll take it you were pissed 7 months ago? You seem to be a lot more humble now. Yes, it is a big rivalry, but stop talking shit about Canes fans when there's no shit to be talked about.

[FridayNightDldoFight]

@sabrescarygood I take it whatever was in your ass crawled out? The Canes have a loyal fanbase that actually goes to the games. I don't get all this talk of bad attendance from Canes fans when the attendance numbers are pretty good. GO CANES! It is a good rivalry indeed.

[sabrescarygood]

@FridayNightDldoFight Its a new year and its a new era for both teams i moved on.... It sucks that you beat us 1 to nothing last night thats something the new jersey devils thrive on but hey its a tight race... Im sorry sometimes emotions get the best of me and i throw down crazy comments its sports though its always fun. Also i wrote that comment 7 months ago i was probably in a different mood then then now....

[FridayNightDldoFight]

@sabrescarygood I understand. Sorry for the triple post man. I'm glad that one Buffalo fan is willing to admit that most of what the fanbase talks crap about is ridiculous. This actually goes for most every fanbase in truth. It was a fine game played by both sides last night. See ya around man.

[FridayNightDldoFight]

@sabrescarygood That's cool man. Thanks for being reasonable.

[sabres10910]

dam

as a sabres fan this was a big hart breaker

[Hockeyfanx187]

ohh yea i remeber that carolina beat boston then got their pussys raped by pittsburgh

[Ian6178]

yeah the canes suck

[FridayNightDldoFight]

@Ian6178 GO CANES! How does a team with a Stanley Cup suck? What does that make your team? Once again, GO CANES!

[hurricanesfan90]

haha all you edmonton and buffalo fans need to go suck a dick because im tired of hearing "if we werent hurt...." .....you should be saying "if we didnt suck ass so bad then i wouldnt be whining about it on youtube"

[MasterJediRick]

Don't look now but your ignorance is showing. Everyone with an ounce of knowledge knows Buffalo was the better team. Of course Carolina was the luckier team in that Buffalo lost all of its defense. Buffalo would have won in 6 had that not happened. I'll take luck over skill any day and Carolina was the luckiest team ever. Don't spout any more B.S. about Carolina being good cause it wasn't true.. KTHXBAI

[werelosingdaylite23]

BUFFALO WASSNT A BETTER TEAM

part of being the better team is actually staying healthy. carolina was better and thats why WE WON!

[Ian6178]

i know the sabres got fuckong killed by penaltys every game. sometimes i wondered what game the officials where watching. also, connolly and there entire defense where injured. it was like the offense of the sabres and the defense of the rochester americans playing against carolina

[Cphils730]

hurricanes fan...hmm you must be the only one..they didnt even sell out game 7 until right before puck drop....im a sabres fan but im not usually one to make excuses for losing..but when 4 out of your top 6 D are out..one of your best forwards are out..its gonna be hard to win..the sabres were certainly the better team..and with edmonton..if you guys didnt run roloson in game 1..im prettty sure they woulda kicked your ass...and its all good cause look where carolina is now..dead last in the easy

[FridayNightDldoFight]

@Cphils730 The only thing Buffalo fans can say is "should of, would of, could of" and "Carolina doesn't sell out." That last statement is bullshit. Weekend games are almost all sellouts and the average attendance is somewhere around 90%. GO CANES!

[XiTProductions]

Fuck carolina buffalo should of won

[jonathanhalo7]

Buffalo is still a city? Thought all those rednecks moved to my hometown of Raleigh. WHAA WHAA We should have won mommy...guess what you didn't and never will!!! Have fun cheering on your TORONTO Bills!!! GO CANES!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cphils730]

so you just said your hometown is full of rednecks...pretty sure redneck and the northeast US are about as far apart as possible...raleigh is like the nascar capital of the world..which screams redneck..canes got lucky due to injuries..but ya they still did the job and won..so congrats to them..even though they have about 61 fans all together...which has to be at like 43 now that they are dead last in the east...go sabres

[FridayNightDldoFight]

@Cphils730 And Buffalo isn't redneck? Last time I checked it was a blue collar working area, which would mean it was "redneck". Raleigh isn't redneck at all. Try having some of the greatest tech companies in the world as redneck... yeah right. GO CANES!

[Hockeyfanx187]

WEll i know carolina has one of the shitest goaltenders in the U.S and Canada and they lost their division title thats what i know

[werelosingdaylite23]

since whene does cam ward suck?

[prepssuck23]

i didnt know carolina had fans

[singingkicker]

I DID know that Buffalo doesn't have a Stanley Cup.

[tuttalumillinciani]

You know darn well you don't beat us if all our defencemen weren't hurt for the end of the series.

And you know darn well if we were healthy there's no way Edmonton beats us, especially if it went to game seven in Buffalo.

[singingkicker]

"...if all our defencemen weren't hurt for the end of the series."

"...if we were healthy there's no way Edmonton beats us...

If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

[tuttalumillinciani]

They did have fans...

for that short, one time run to the Cup.

[CanesCup08]

you are so stupid, Canes have fans all the time fag, u just hate it that we beat ur asses and we have a cup and you dont, so stop your crying and grow up!

[ericmac20]

I mean it was a one time run to win the cup....but the second time playing for one. 2nd Eastern Conference Championship. Not too bad

[CaniacTiLLIDie]

BOOOOOOO Buffalo

[sabresguy77]

well been a while but what happened the season after this??? OH YEAH... making payroll and getting the cup didn't keep the roster did it?? Well it is a tough season this year and I must say that I still love the Sabres!!! Yep... Gotta keep the hope alive... ;)

[MrRebuttal]

LET'S UPDATE:

Ottawa Senators 5 Bitchalo Sabres 2

Senators 4 Sabres 3 (OT winner by Corvo)

Senators 1 Sabres 0 (Emery with Shut out)

Senators 2 Sabres 3

Senators 3 Sabres 2 (OT winner by Alfredsson)

Senators WON the 2007 Eastern Conference Championship! Failed twice in a row. 2006 and now 2007. Take that SUCKA'S! Ha ha ha!!!

[Limper31]

Failed twice in a row? What are you talking about? The Sabres whooped the Sens in 2005-2006 and if you think "failing" is not winning the stanley cup, then the Senators have failed every single year since their creation, also.

[Pepston]

haha carolina fans don't even know what hockey is.

[skynyrd73]

sure we do. it's that game where they hit the piece of rubber around the ice and try to get it to touch the inside of the nylon square while beating the shit out of people.

[fruittbooter]

i dont know what your talking about. I was there at game 7 when the canes won. That was the most electric arena I have ever been in, in my entire life.

[CaniacTiLLIDie]

haha buffalo fans dont know what a Stanley Cup is!!!! Dumbshit

[Sabrestrainsfan]

everyone knows that if the Sabres had just one injured Sabre come back, then they would've won that game so hahaha

[skynyrd73]

no they wouldn't have so hahaha

[Sabrestrainsfan]

yea they would have so haha

[skynyrd73]

dang, you guys killed us wednesday night.

[Sabrestrainsfan]

so so what

[caniac1712]

all of you sabre fans just need to stop crying and get over it. The hurricanes were the better team and still are. The sabres are gonna suck in 08!!!!!!!! hahahah! GO CANES

[prestonite]

Fuck You. You fuckin' rednecks dont know shit about hockey.

[CaniacTiLLIDie]

Eat a dick prestonite

[xxxcar3hurxxx]

Suck the loss, BEEEEOTCH!

I'm from Hartford originally, so I aint no redneck, PAL!!

Long live the Whale-a-canes....death to BUFFALO!!!!

[KaiCM]

However, none of the other fanbases were so obnoxious and rude as the Buffalo fans. You should be pro-your team and not anti-the other team. Also, it's a game; we should go b/c we love to see the fast-paced action and suspense, not b/c we must win at all costs. Sportsmanship is a lost art.

[Mordecai016]

How long have you been a sports fan?

If you think buffalo is bad then don't go to a devils, rangers, or ilses hockey forum.

[KaiCM]

I'm originally from Watertown, NY (NORTH OF BUFFALO) but live in Raleigh, and I got called a "dumb redneck, a hick, an idiot" by people who don't even know me. Dumb southerners from Buffalo. It wasn't all fans, some were very nice and it was cool to talk hockey with them; if they're there to support their team, by all means they should cheer as loudly as possible.

[KaiCM]

It's funny how the Sabres should technically have been considered sentimental favorites this year yet anyone unfortunate enough to have dealt with their fanbase absolutely hates them. I like Buffalo; their team is incredibly talented and played well this year, but the fans really ruined the series last year.

[GLG42]

That was great and all you heard around Buffalo was excuses again...

[Sabrestrainsfan]

so what?

[TheFlyingFatman11]

yeah its funny....they arent even in the playoffs this year..Yeah Im sick of all the fuckin bandwagoner's in Buffalo ESCPECIALLY WHEN THEY SAY THEY ARE FROM "POMMINVILLE, NEW YORK" God that pisses me off

[sabresfan27]

just because the team u lik sucks dont take it out on the sabres.

[prestonite]

Well I agree with you. I am a Sabres fan but the grown adults who say that they live in Pomminville , Ny need psychological counseling.

[Buffalo1Drury]

fuck carolina

[canesrule123]

Sabres fans are faggots. Buffalo sucks that piece of crap city.

[h0ckeyplar17]

ok how are we crap city, i'm not gay, and carolina can't even make the playoffs.ok sabres are the best team in the NHL how do we suck caroilina only has 84 points when buffalo has 103 points.umm... sabres fans bought the playoffs tickets in 9 minutes for the 1st and 2nd round.carolina fans last year could go to the frount office and buy tickets.we sold out every game this season. even preseason. we are the best fans in all sports.

[canesrule123]

Yes you're team is better then ours your probally going to win the cup. I just wish you would stop talking crap about us on youtube. Stop calling us Nascar loving Rednecks who don't know shit about hockey. I've been a Hurricanes fans ever since they came to Raleigh, North Caroliina in 1997.

[h0ckeyplar17]

ok im sorry i just hate the fact that carolina hurt all our players just to win.

[canesrule123]

thanks. good luck this year

[h0ckeyplar17]

u 2.

[dakuwan0623]

Actually the Sabres arent the best team, they're neck and neck with Nashville, Detroit, and Anaheim. No one's arguing about your team its your fanbase that sucks. Your bandwagon will fall apart yet again when you start losing players next year. Oh and the Canes purposely withheld tix to release daily going up to each game trying to up STH sales. But you're not interested in the truth, just your ignorant assumptions.

[dakuwan0623]

Each time tix were released they sold out.

[Johnnnnn13]

Congrats on beating Rochester! maybe in round 1 when u actually play a healthy sabres team u awill change ur thinking u hick bastard.

[dakuwan0623]

You're the only one making a fool of yourself. Hope you enjoyed the video.

[Johnnnnn13]

how is that

[dakuwan0623]

By throwing stereotypes. Not knowing enough about hockey to know injuries are part of the game and not fodder for excuses. You don't hear Carolina fans whining about our injuries this year that are keeping us out, its hockey and we move on. Thanks for watching the video yet again.

[Johnnnnn13]

yup part of the game its too bad the sabres all most won the cup with all backups and carolina cant even make the playoffs,

[dakuwan0623]

Strange how no one hears Anaheim saying almost or Edmonton who were actually there. Based on how Sabres fans acted in the RBC every one here pulls against a good team because it would make those "fans" happy. Based on Edmonton's fans everyone here pulls for the Oilers and wishes them nothing but the best. That should be embarrassing to real Sabres fans. Yes, the Canes are out, but we go to the Finals on average every five years, we'll be back.

[Johnnnnn13]

yup just like last time, great season then down the toilet the next.

[dakuwan0623]

Ill take it because if it goes like last time we'll win our second cup in the next few years. The Devils did the same thing in 96 and have gotten two more cups since.

[Johnnnnn13]

well enjoy the playoffs =]

[Johnnnnn13]

And Detriot beat the complete shit out of them in the finals so according to your logical statement the hurricanes will get killed in the finals in a few years

[dakuwan0623]

Way to follow a decent statement with one that completely undermines any credibility you may have fostered. Buffalo went in 75 and 99 starting from 70 while the Canes went in 02 and 06 after starting in 97. Even by your "logic" going back in a few years is still more of an accomplishment than a 24 year drought. It should also be mentioned that in existing 3x as long we still have more cups. Why be an asshole? Show respect, earn respect and maybe someone will pull for your team.

[Johnnnnn13]

just watch a sabres playoff game since u wont be doing anything then, theres ALOT of people pulling for them

[dakuwan0623]

Ill be watching all the playoff game. Unlike Sabres fans I actually like and follow hockey not just my team when they happen to be doing well. And I, plus 29 other fanbases, will be pulling for Anyone But Buffalo.

[Johnnnnn13]

great i know there are alot of banwagon fans in buffalo but im not 1 of them

[SUNSNARE06]

there are bandwagon fans outside of Buffalo too, my ex girlfriend is one, she doesnt even know who Rick Jeanerrette is, not only that she can't even name their leading scorer anmd she tells me she loves the Sabres, what a stupid bitch

[Johnnnnn13]

lol damn half the bitches in my school are like that too

[dakuwan0623]

To clarify the Sabres almost won the conference with backups, there's no telling what the final series would have been like. Edmonton had a good team and put up a hell of a fight. The Roloson injury may not have occurred which, while Markkanen played well, could also have had a big impact.

[h0ckeyplar17]

"GO SABRES" i hate the hurricanes and they suck!we beat the canes 4-0 in the seies.explain that u NASCAR fans.

[dakuwan0623]

Ignorance shines through again by the non-hockey fan. The Devils swept the Canes last year but lost in the playoffs, hockey fans would know the regular season means little when the series starts. You may hate the Canes but everyone in the NHL hates you.

[h0ckeyplar17]

sabres rule

[sabresguy77]

Well the canes have one heck of a fan base.. Hahahahaha!!! you can get a ticket to every game left every section to choose from... As for the Sabres.. well your SOL... sold out last 36 home games... I Love Hockey!!

[dakuwan0623]

Yeah you love hockey so much that you're the only "fans" who feel inadequate enough to run around posting comments and acting like asses every chance you get. What else do you have to do but go to games? Its Buffalo! America doesnt want you and Canada wont take you.

[h0ckeyplar17]

you are retarted,ok.u suck and u buffalo is bigger and better than whatever crap tralor village and buffalo is the best team in sports.yea that is what ESPN the magazine said u retard.canada is gay and i wouldnt let canada take buffalo.we invented buffalo wings so what did ur city invent.go die.ok.

[dakuwan0623]

So did you drop out in 3rd grade or 4th? Gotta say your English is impeccable. If you think ESPN the magazine is the definitive hockey source you've gotta be the biggest idiot in the country.

[h0ckeyplar17]

NO IM IN 8TH GRADE AND ESPN THE MAGIZENE IS THE MOST POPULAR AND BIGGEST MAGIZENE IN THE COUNTRY.NOT ANY CAROLINA TEAM.the hurricanes can't come up with a better name than a tragdey that happens in the region that they live in.

[robz07]

FLUKE...we all saw what happened this year when buffalo was healthy...WE SWEPT 'EM!!!

[dakuwan0623]

So did Jersey last year and you saw what the Hurricanes did to them. Stop being such assholes, cheer your team and stop getting your rocks off antagonizing other fanbases.

[donfettaccini]

healthy? injured players aren't very healthy. what happened in that sabres away game where you brought the cup out before the game? o yea, sabres won. asshole.

[rjsbird287]

Man, can't we all just get along? The Sabres and Canes fans and their teams have almost as much hatred as I have for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

[dakuwan0623]

So true, and sad? All it took was this one series and the actions and attitudes of the majority of Sabres fans who came down to Raleigh to turn our entire fanbase against them. Before then, there wasnt any animosity at all, now it'll take years to repair. Just wish it had been like Edmenton, New Jersey, and the Montreal series.

[jacksonferrell]

hell yea mutha fuckas

those r my bois

[cmt08]

It settles it with Carolina's win in the final 3-1, although it should be 4-1 because the replay from a different angle shows the puck crossing the red line. Go Canes!

[hockeyrat68]

hmmm just to end this madness. Carolina - stanley cup finals up 1 game to none Buffalo - sitting at home watching carolina in the stanley cup finals. im not even a carolina fan and you cry baby sabres fans just keep bringing up bogus stuff. hmmm edmonton did lose their goalie but yeah you guyz won only 5-4, this series will be close and noone should be cocky at all.

[JDSabre]

Too bad you didnt sellout your arena huh?

North Carolina doesn't deserve a championship.

GO OILERS!!!!

[EtchySketch9]

Too bad you lost your goalie, huh?

Edmonton doesn't deserve a championship.

[raiders86]

Oh you think that the hurricanes deserve the cup after what this "dickhead" of Williams did to Koivu?

Jackass

[dakuwan0623]

Your bias against the Canes is based on an accidental injury? One that could potentially happen (and does) at any time, any game. Something a real hockey fan would realize. By that logic, you should be going for the Canes because of the intentional boarding of Eric Cole by Orpik which almost left him paralyzed.

[dakuwan0623]

Get off the "cant sell out the arena" kick, theyve been releasing tickets on game day and thats why there were seats.

Doesnt deserve a championship? Canes have been there twice in 4 years, Buffalo hasnt been back since 1999 and before that was 1975. And lets not forget that the Sabres declared bankruptcy while the Canes were still drawing fans in a poorly performed season but managed to make payroll.

[bbxmas]

Jesus Christ, learn something about why the Sabres filed bankruptcy. We had a corrupt owner - The Rigas' embezzled money and went to jail for it. Don't blame it on fans and lack of interest.

And face it, it wasn't just the game day tickets, I know people who went online right after game 6 and bought blocks of seats.
