P.P.S Lime Crush is like crack. I used to drink it all the time when I was younger. Also, FYI, some of those flavors of Crush are only produced in Newfoundland (I know pineapple and grape Crush for sure is only NF, and something tells me lime is in the same boat)... so you might be SOL.

Wait a minute 1st of all I can get Grape crush at walmart here in PA, and 2nd of all There is PINEAPPLLE TOO?!?!?!?!

Completely false. If you think Buffalo can't support a fan base you're obviously not paying attention. There's a reason that the "Let's go Buffalo" chants were loud enough to be picked up by the TV microphone IN FLORIDA less than a week ago.

Besides, Hamilton would never get a hockey team, because then Toronto would want one too.[/quote]

have you ever been to a hockey game in florida? the arena is always empty! if you want to take about chants getting picked up, then all you have to do is listen when the leafs, canadiens play in buffalo.

Pineapple is my all-time favorite pop, but as mentioned, I only get to have it when I'm in Newfoundland. I thought Lime was in the same boat, but I guess not. If I see any, I'll pick some up and PM you for a meeting point.

Funny thing is, after the excitement of knowing PJ was going to be in Buffalo wore off, the next thing I was most excited about was buying Cherry Dr. Pepper. I love that shit and they don't sell it up here!

Haha soda is great, I'm surely getting my hands on these different crush flavors before I die, they sound awesome. Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm the OP here and I say no fighting ... HA HA HA
The fact is, (even though this wasn't intended to be a hockey thread)
Buffalo is my home town. I have to admit though, we'd be fucked without
the Canadian support at the Bills/Sabres games. They come down here and spend
stupid loot. Most of them are good people. ( except for the bastard that broke my glasses at the
last Leafs/Sabres game I went to at HSBC. The fact is, people are people. I love the Canada/US
relationship we have. We cross the border once and a while and piss on each others toilet seats,
get drunk, eat some good greasy food and head for home.

C'mon ... let's spread the love, and remember .... I still need some Lime Crush dammit.
I do have a passport but I didn't see it in the Falls or Fort Erie.

By the way, all you Canadians coming to my home town, I'm willing to show you what Buffalo's
really about. If anyone reading this post wants or needs anything ... just PM me and let me know,
I'll be happy to help anyone out. I'm 36, I was born here and lived here most of my life.

Happy to have you guys at the show ... STOKED !!!

I am a Sabres season ticket holder. I sell my Sabres/Leaf tickets for good money. I dont care to go to those games anymore. Im too old to trade trash talk and get into fights.

Leaf fans dont keep the Sabres afloat. Canadians help though.

Buffalo on its own is one of the best US markets. They are constantly on the top of the TV ratings. Even with games like All-Star, Olympics, Winter Classic, Cup Finals, etc Not involving the Sabres... and they cant even factor in the CBC ratings in Buffalo which most of the people I know (me included) prefer to watch over the crappy US broadcasts.

A team in Hamilton wouldnt destroy the Sabres, at least immediately. We would have 12 home games out of the 40 with people rushing down from Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal (or fans of those teams from elsewhere in ON). That would be good.

The fact that Hamilton's games would be televised in ON (and the Sabres arent)... as well as the non-hassle of crossing the border, would likely create a new generation of Hamilton fans, with no Sabres fans across the border.

So in time, a Hamilton franchise may suffocate the Sabres. Its not guaranteed, and I have heard some people argue and make sense that it would be a good thing for the Sabres.

Regardless though, its in the NHL sees it in their best interest to not put the Sabres at risk. All of their goals are based on US television ratings. I think its too bad. Canadians definitely deserve another few teams. Would love to see Winnipeg and Quebec back. It bothers me when I here Canadians "rooting" for the Sabres to fail and relocate. The NHL loses a little of itself without the Sabres... just as we miss the Jets, Whalers, Nordiques, North Stars, etc...

well put. And I agree with you sentiments.

Canadiens aren't cheering for a team like the sabres to fail however, it's the ones in tampa, pheonix, miami, atlanta, etc where the teams are losing money we want to go down. It astounds most canadiens that Gary Betman continues to support teams in these markets, when they could easily do so much better in Quebec city, winnepeg, Hamilton, or god may smite me for saying it, another team in toronto.

That being said, sabres would lose out astronomically if they got bumped out of the northeast division and into 1 of the other divisons in the conferenc due to more canadian teams joining up. Just something to consider.

P.S. I've seen some of those strawberry and cherry crush flavor before... And some others, but I can't remember what! The weird thing about Newfoundland is that the province has it's own pepsi bottling facility, so they still run production on some flavors that pepsi on the continent doesn't to keep the manufacturing lines going... And because there is a demand for these weird flavors.... Long live pineapple crush! I am also surprised to here you can get grape elsewhere... I was sure that was only in NF as well... But you live you learn!
