  1. I have so many Facebook statuses from that era that are similar to this. Definitely makes me appreciate what we get to watch now.

  2. I wore my marv bills sweater for Halloween that year and went as a bad joke. How far we’ve come indeed

  3. I got so drunk at that game I ended up smoking a bowl with a Detroit fan right in the hallways.

  4. Haha. I also had that same post and mentioned how maybe the sabres could also get their first win, so they must have also been terrible that year

  5. The next time someone calls for McDermott’s head (Unless he does something REALLY stupid) recommend they go to YouTube and watch a game from this era. Especially if it’s against the Patriots.

  6. My first ever game, Detroit fans were getting playfully chirped at a tailgate and one kept on yelling back “Win a game!”, and boy did we ever.

    Saw a dude get tased in the stadium too. Good times

  7. The Toilet Bowl! Going to a game when both teams were 0-8 was something else – “8-and-8” chants were hilarious.
