The Resume

    (1970- )
    Located in Buffalo, New York
    Play in First Niagara Arena
    No Stanley Cup Championships
    Seven retired numbers: Tim Horton's #2, Rick Martin's #7, Gilbert Perreault's #11, Rene Robert's #14, Pat Lafontaine's #16, Danny Gare's #18 and Dominik Hasek's #39

Why they might be annoying:

    They, like the Buffalo Bills, have yet to bring a championship to the city of Buffalo.
    Dominik Hasek was unable to win a Stanley Cup with them, so he signed with the Detroit Red Wings and won one.
    They made a habit to either lose in the first round or the second round of the playoffs throughout the 1970's.
    They had a 'French Connection' with Rick Martin, Rene Robert and Gilbert Perrault.
    They changed their uniform colors from blue, yellow and white to black, red and white.
    They are currently in a 'rebuilding' phase.

Why they might not be annoying:

    The team got its named from a Name-the-Team contest that was held in the city of Buffalo (saw over 13,000 submissions).
    They chose Gilbert Perrault as their first ever draft pick. Gilbert would end up winning the Calder Trophy, which is the NHL's Rookie of the Year award.
    They were able to lure head coach Scotty Bowman away from the Montreal Canadiens after he won four-straight Stanley Cups with them (1979).
    Alexander Mogilny and Pat LaFontaine combined for 129 goals during the 1992-93 season.
    During the 1994 Eastern Conference finals, Dominik Hasek recorded 70 saves in one game against the NJ Devils.
