The Official Trash Talk Video of the Buffalo Sabres

On Tuesday morning, thousands of tailgaters descended upon Ralph Wilson Stadium before the AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic began. They enjoyed grilling hot dogs, cheeseburgers and potato salads from their vehicles.

As they were grilling, a group of Buffalo Sabres' fans joined in on the trash talk. It was an uplifting moment and one that should be shared with thousands.

1. The Air Horns

Fans of hockey know the greatest joy is not only watching the game itself, but also all of its trash talk. It's those verbal exchanges which get teams pumped and motivated to play at their best.

That's why, whenever the Sabres find themselves in a losing streak, fans in Philadelphia always respond with loud cheers of frustration. And it was no different when the Flyers took control of this series in its opening two games; many loudly cheering from Philadelphia fans in anticipation.

In fact, the crowd was so heated that some of those present decided to record the horns - leading to this video featuring some of the greatest trash talk ever uttered.

It sounded much like having an annoying knucklehead in the stands, trying to throw his beer onto the ice. But this was Buffalo, so it wasn't just an isolated incident.

At some point, the horns stopped coming but soon enough Philadelphia began swarming the Sabres in an effort to disrupt Buffalo's fast-paced skating style and force them into playing a more physical game. It marked the beginning of what would become an intense physical assault by the Flyers against Buffalo as they attempted to slow down its speedy skating style by forcing it into more contact-based play.

After about twenty minutes, the Flyers finally found their rhythm as Esche stopped several shots from the Sabres. In the second period, Philadelphia scored twice to take a commanding lead over Buffalo.

In the end, Philadelphia took a commanding 2-0 lead in this series with their win in Game 3. Despite a late goal from Derek Roy for Buffalo, Philadelphia took commanding control with their victory and it appeared as though that would be it for their dominance over the Flyers.

No matter the outcome of the game, fans at Wachovia Center were upbeat throughout the night. Even when Dumont was injured in the third period, fans continued to chant "Buffalo!" as they anxiously awaited his return.

2. The Cowbell

The cowbell is a hand percussion instrument originating from the real-life bells herders used to ring around the necks of domesticated cattle. They're also called idiophones, since they make sound by vibrating their entire instrument. The most common type of cowbell is an unclapperless metal bell struck with either a drumstick or wood dowel; however, classical and some traditional music often uses clappers.

Cowbells have been around since Neolithic China, when herders would ring bells to guide their cattle through the wilderness. Today, livestock owners still use cowbells to ensure their animals remain safe from predators and hazards.

Another popular use for the cowbell is in outdoor athletic events. College and professional football teams often give cowbells to fans before games, and it has become a tradition in baseball as well.

Cowbells are often employed as a symbol of sports pride and good luck. Mississippi State University, for instance, has long employed the cowbell as both an auditory and visual representation of team pride.

In fact, the cowbell has become so integrated into campus life that the university even has its own cowbell choir! Members perform during home games and other special events throughout the year.

At the NCAA basketball tournament, universities often encourage their students to bring cowbells for good luck. It is believed that these bells possess an energy of their own which attracts positive vibrations.

Cowbells are commonly used in various sports, such as cycling and triathlon. Not only does it keep cyclists alert while riding along roads, but its loudness has been said to deter bears from approaching cyclists.

It can also serve as a timekeeper, such as in the classic rock song "Don't Fear the Reaper." Additionally, bells are frequently employed in salsa and jazz music.

The cowbell has long been a part of music, featuring in jazz and popular genres as well as traditional and classical pieces. You may recognize it from classic songs such as "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones or "Drive My Car" by The Beatles.
