Written Option 2:

What makes a hero, eh?  A definition of hero can be loosely or firmly defined within different contexts... this season for Buffalo, there haven't been many so-called 'heroes' per say, but with a rebuilding team I suppose it can be said that the efforts to be competitive were 'heroic'.  There's a mix of older and younger players that are looking for chemistry and the veterans that lead the way this season are our heroes for sticking with it and not giving up.  The season isn't over yet, we're four points out of a playoff spot with seven games left (two in hand), so a 'heroic' effort is still up for grabs if anyone rises up to the challenge.  That's only one context, and if we do make the playoffs on the last day, we'll look at that last minute save, the game winning goal, the line that bottled up the opposition in their own end with minutes to go, that momentum-changing bit hit, that second intermission rallying cry, among a few things, that would be very heroic for us to continue into the playoffs.  We will cross that bridge when we get there.
