Tonight the Sabres play the
Penguins in the last game of the season. Here are 3 reasons why the crowd
should be as loud as ever.
#1 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
We won at losing! At the
beginning of the year we all knew what the goal was: Finish last. It took 81
games, but we did it! We are now guaranteed either Connor McDavid or Jack
Eichel! We finally found something we do better than anybody else. Let’s celebrate!
#2 REVENGE
Remember 2005? The Bills
needed a win against Pittsburgh’s B-team to sneak into the playoffs. Against
all odds, we lost. Now, about 10 years later, the Pittsburgh Penguins needs to
beat a B-team in Buffalo to clinch a playoff spot. It’s time to get revenge!
#3 FANS AGAIN
It’s been an odd year. It was
right to root against the Sabres for these past 81 games, but it often felt
wrong. And it wasn’t really fair to the players. It’s a new day. Game 82. We’re
fans again. We have a whole season’s worth of cheering to catch up on. We can ‘root
root root for the home team’ for a change!
Let’s make it a memorable
night Buffalo!
