I'm sorry, I don't mean to flood the Latest queue with postings, but I just want to get this out while I'm thinking about it.
My favorite hockey teams
1. Toronto Maple Leafs
2. Tampa Bay Lightning
3. Philadelphia Flyers, Nashville Predators, Ottawa Senators, Carolina Hurricanes (tie)
7. Buffalo Sabres
8. Detroit Red Wings
Honorable mentions for the Penguins, the Caps, the Sharks, the Ducks, and the Oilers... if they get Ryan Smyth back.
Hockey teams I love to hate (in no particular order)
Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, New Jersey Devils, Colorado Avalanche (I hate the team, but love some of their players), Florida Panthers (my new hometown team - feh). Oh, oh, and the Atlanta Thrashers. Man, they bug me.
There is no rhyme or reason to my dislike of most of these teams.
Ok, that's all I have to say for now (aren't you glad?).

Ok, I'm posting, 'cause I'm sick of having that <10 blogs thing on my userpic.
What'd y'all think about the Sabres this year? My husband is convinced they're going to the Cup finals. I am not so sure, but even if they are, if they're playing Nashville, I'm going to have to root against them again. Sorry.
I want to like the Sabres, but I just keep running up against little things that kind of annoy me about them. I will say this, tho' - Ryan Miller has been great for my fantasy hockey team this year. Hasek posts better numbers, when he plays, but he is old and creaky and therefore does not see nearly as much ice time as Miller (and Hasek's hurt right now, anyway, which is why I am trying to get rid of him).
Of course, now that it is almost fantasy-playoffs-time, and I'm counting on him more than ever, I get something like this from Miller:
Argh. I know it's not all his fault, but man. They're going to have to do better if they really want to be in that Cup final this year.
I'm also mad that I didn't grab Paul Stastny while he was still free in our league, but that is a post for another time.

howdy, y'allSo, hi there. My name is Liz and I joined this site not because I live in Buffalo, but because my friend Carolinian is on here, and I wanted to be able to leave comments on his journal entries. That's about it, really.
I was gonna go with Virginian for my username, to copy his Carolinian thing (since I am from Virginia), but he convinced me to go with Lizabeth instead, so when anyone links to me it'll show up as (e:lizabeth), which is just funny.
What else? Well, I'm going to be moving out of NY soon (December), but I'm sure I'll make it to Buffalo at least once before I do. I will at least be in town for Carolinian's birthday, which is November 17th, so we should totally do a big party then. I wanna see him get drunk and act silly. ;)
And now, a picture of an alpaca for you:
Because alpacas rule.

Well, where I am from, the Hurricanes are the closest thing to a hometown hockey team I've got (well, I'm about equal distance from them and the Washington Capitals, but between those two teams, really, which would you pick?), so that's why I like them.
Nashville I like because Nashville is a cool city, and my friend Meg lives there, and she's a big Preds fan. If I didn't have a connection to the place, I probably wouldn't like them all that much, either.
They really are doing well this year, tho'.
1. Sabres
2. Penguins
I'm not your typical Buffalo fan Who hates the leafs I guess if your going to like a team from Canada they are the team to like. But I'm sorry unless you are from the Area How can you Like Carolina and Nashvile they are both like really new. That brings up another Point Where do the Carolina Huricanes and Carolina Panthers play cause there is no such state as Carolina. There is North Carolina and South Carolina. but isn't carolina as one state or area pre civil war. I really know the reason they name them that is so that fans in both states will like them, just busting balls a little bit. I really can't say to much I've always been a Penguins and Steelers Fan and never really been to Pitsburg. Glad to see that you have decided to keep posting.
GO LEAFS GO!!!!
