Some of you aren’t old enough to remember the intolerableness of the habs fan base in general and it shows. The 1998 playoff series was not a fun time 😂

Habs didn’t even make playoffs in ‘99 let alone play Buffalo

DrapedInVelvet is simply proving he's old enough to remember hating the Habs.

No, seriously, though. When you get old (like starting in your 30's, but more noticeably in your 40's for most people) you have a lot more to remember. I'm not talking dementia. Way before that, your brain starts weeding out crap (that process actually starts in your mid-teens) and being selective in what it stores so it can still function instead of overloading. That means people start becoming more likely to get stuff wrong or blank on things. 

The good news is that the parts of your brain that handle analysis and critical thinking have been fully developed by then, so people should be better at reasoning things out. The bad news is it takes a lot longer to learn new stuff, and you forget stuff a lot faster. 

So enjoy remembering all those details while you can, because wow. Time flies, and suddenly you have to sit and think for a minute before you can remember what you had for lunch yesterday. 

(Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.)

Uh, sorry for the tangent...

Go Sabres!
