Not that I'm saying we will win it...but we're in the race. Washington, the leader, is only 4 points ahead of us. :shock: Let's go Buffalo!

You realize posting a thread like this is a capital crime, don't you?

Sabres are off to a good start, but let's see where we are after we get hit with the injury bug (every team does) or after Ryan Miller comes back from the Olympics and needs some backup relief.

I don't want any part of President's Trophy talk. We've won it before and it gave me zero satisfaction as a fan.

Well, 'Zilla, it's safe to say the Sabres have been hit by the injury bug already.

I'm not afraid of the President's Trophy.

Fuck it. Win that on your rampage path to the cup, if that's the kind of team you want to be.

Both in one season would be nice.

But lets not talk about that right now. We're a long way out.

Ya'll did not read what I said. I said we are IN the race. I didn't say we'd win it. I don't think we will win it. Just saying -we are 4 points out of being in the lead for the President's Cup.

This.

Myself, I'd like to see one that says something other than Pres. Trophy Champs, Division/Conf. champs. You know what they say..

3rd time is a charm. ;)

Not saying we'll win the big one, but lord jesus fuck it would be nice, wouldn't it?

Too early to discuss it really, wait until the season is almost over. Right now, All I want is a high playoff berth and a Silver thingy.

What is this.

In fairness, though, if they win the President's Trophy, so be it. I'm not scurred of it, though I really just want a Stanley Cup. Statistically speaking, winning the President's Trophy is actually a great thing, when talking about the chance of winning it all. 30% of the teams that win it go on to win the Cup that year. I wouldn't mind it again.

But, still, what is this. Haha.

I'll take it on the way to the Cup. It is the mark of an excellent regular season team. The Cup is the mark of an excellent playoff team. Winning both is the mark of an excellent team. Period.

Yup. Tar and feather. Burned as a steak. Made to wear a Leaves jersey in public.

Might I just add . . .

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :shock: Absolutively not!!!

Sure, let's burn ourselves out for a stupid trophy. We've seen how that works. Or, instead, maybe we could manage the roster, learn to play smart and efficiently, and win The Cup. :think:

Our guys might finally be "getting it" - winning one goal games, playing as a team, hustling, not trying to be cute and fancy, not obsessed with entertaining the home crowd with highlight goals. They don't need some evil trophy temptress.
