I feel the same way also. As much as I hate the bruins, Buffalo fans in all sports have gotten Philly level of annoying the past few years

I have seen Sabre fans trolling in comments on Hurricane YouTube videos. You would think a team that had one of the current longest playoff droughts would be a bit more humble. 
But they act like they have been contenders for a while. I mean, they were supposed to suck this season. Be grateful.

Buffalo is largely ignored and otherwise rather meaningless without hockey or football. They don't have an NBA, WNBA, PWHL or other professional sports franchise, so this is what they hang their hats on. 

Thing is, nobody in Buffalo pays attention to the Sabres until after the Bills season is done in January or February. 

Regardless, I'm not sure how Carolina stacks up with them in a 7-game set.

Bruins beat the Sabres last night, it’s 3-2  now and they play in Boston friday. Sabres fans might want to have their team take care of the first round before they start woofing.

If we meet in the ECF I have a feeling playoff experience will be a factor. Kinda like what happened in 2018 ECF with a playoff experienced Bruins swept us.
