Buffalo represents Western NY, not Upstate, and the only Boston team in all of Upstate NY with a decent number of fans are Red Sox fans but thats it.

Or take a city like Albany for example. You think Albany's NHL team is the Buffalo Sabres when the Rangers are 2 hours closer? Same goes for Utica. People in both cities got uber pissed that now since the Sabres are on MSG they get priority over the Rangers in home and home conflict. Theres even a petition.
Yeah... it's pretty obvious that Buffalo is WNY. I only mentioned Buffalo having Yankees fans as a further reinforcement of your point. Get it?

And, no, I don't think that Albany's NHL team is the Buffalo Sabres rather than the Rangers... nor do I and probably 99% of the US and Canadian populations care where Albany's NHL allegiance lies, nor has that fact actually ever even crossed my mind.
