[edit] Curse and media complicity
Although I am unable to properly source the following, I remember it pretty clearly. Any thoughts on including parts of it in the article?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 20:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
In fact, some attribute the Sabres inability to win the Stanley Cup to a curse associated with the inability to get Taro signed and in uniform.[citation needed] This, of course, prompted years of local news stories about removing the curse and impending signings after the Sabres lost the Stanley Cup Finals during the season following the draft in a series shrouded with the mystery of a literal fog.

- I would say generally unless its a notable "curse" it really need not be included. The Sabres aren't really cursed, just like the Leafs aren't. Nope the Leafs aren't cursed, they were just brutal for 25 odd years after their Cup win. And a general lack of direction as well.... Someday, Someday it will finally happen again (sheds tear).

- Nor are the Kings cursed, or the Blues, or the Canucks; in a sport that's run to dynasties, there's not much room left for the rest. That being said, unsourced recollections are exactly the sort of thing specifically forbidden from articles. The "Curse of Muldoon" we've all heard of. Any local "curse," unencyclopedic.

- Yeah you know the Pete Muldoon curse on the Blackhawks was exactly the one I was thinking of that is the only notable one in hockey (I wouldn't say everybody's heard of it though, it happened almost 80 years ago), but other than that none come to mind because as you said, it's just been straight dynasties from about the late 40s until probably 2004 when the Lightning won it and started a new trend.

The Sabres arn't cursed? Are you crazy? Just off the top of my head, I can think of Pat LaFontaine, Dominik Hasek, Daniel Briere and Chris Drury. How can you say they're not cursed? 24.83.3.54 18:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and don't forget Gilbert Perreault , Rick Martin, Alexander Mogilny, Dave Andreychuk, Danny Gare, Phil Housley and Lindy Ruff. 24.83.3.54 18:30, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- What the fudgemucker are you talking about? Your just listing their superstars? How does that explain any sort of notable identifiable curse? Croat Canuck Say hello or just talk 00:57, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Think about it. Any team with players that good should be able to win maybe three or four cups. 24.83.3.54 02:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Beats me, but Hasek had the best five year streak any goaltender ever had in hockey history in a Sabres' uniform. As far as the others, the Sabres lost some free agents, but so have other teams; think Ottawa is cursed, or Edmonton? Was Buffalo the only team in hockey history to have a superstar suffer an untimely career ending injury? Tell you what, this Bostonian will see your LaFontaine and raise you an Orr and a Neely.

[edit] Replacement
OK, I've heard that someone else was later selected in Taro's place. Unfortunately I can't remember the name. I think it was Bernie Geoffrion but I'm not certain. 24.83.3.54 18:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- It's incorrect. RGTraynor 13:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
