Not quite seven months before the Bills suffered perhaps the most egregious loss in their history, due in large part to an officiating decision that fans will never believe was correct – it was a forward lateral! – the Sabres were dealt a similarly gut-wrenching defeat thanks to a terrible call. “There was in the crease last year with the Sabres and they get screwed, and now this. It’s a blue-collar, hard-working city,” Hansen said, implying that Western New Yorkers simply didn’t deserve the seemingly endless stream of bad sports luck.
“I don’t know if it’s the city of Buffalo or what it is, but it’s just unbelievable. I remember being in the Bills locker room following the Music City Miracle debacle in Nashville and defensive end Phil Hansen said something that rang so true that day and remains poignant 20 years later. By now, the words that define Buffalo’s sporting misery have become ingrained in your brain, and try as you might, you’ve never been able to eviscerate them from your cognitive memory bank.
