                | manninm | Posted - 04/03/2007 : 09:12:44 Granted it's not a very scientific poll, but we'll take it.  Buffalo fans are incredibly loyal, and we've had to endure a lot of pain (cite other ESPN poll, page 2 article, sports teams who have suffered the most, Buffalo Bills at #1, Buffalo Sabres at #35).  I don't read too much into the poll, but it's nice to know we get some recognition.

 Based on what? That's a pretty ambiguous statement to make.
 
 
 I think it was a fan vote: overall fan experience, ticket price/value, etc
 
 It was an ESPN story on hockey, though...so I dont know how much weight you want to put into it

 Oh yeah the Sabres are definately #1 and now there gonna get the stanley cup.
 
 
 
 If the Canucks can't have it, I'll be cheering on Buffalo. Not so much because I'm a huge Buffalo fan, but because they deserved it 100% last year. They got hosed with injuries in the playoffs...and still were only 1 game away from the finals.
