We'll not have this discussion again until the start of the 2007-08 season at the earliest ... and even then any such thread would be on a very short leash.
Why isn't playoff attendance a fair topic?

You'd be surprised how far the NYC teams are from Buffalo. It seems to be a common misperception that the fans bases are close to each other but in terms of cities Buffalo is closer to Detroit,Columbus,Pittsburgh,Philadelphia, Toronto and depending on time at customs Ottawa and Montreal are shorter trips then the 6 hrs and 38 minute drive from Buffalo to NYC .(http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=...53,-76.442871&spn=3.826188,10.217285&t=k&om=1) Of course a good number of Islander fans are actually on the island farther away.
As for the Islanders fans snatching up the tickets the Sabres released tickets, for yesterdays game in the morning and already released and sold out the tickets that were set out for tommorow nights game (though that part is per the Sabres fourm). I saw the occasional Islander fan last night but I'd be shocked if they sold even half of what they were given.
BTW, what price level do these seats have to be set aside in? I know that based on the CBA rules about where players can be given/sold tickets it's in what is 100 Level II for Sabres ticket purposes. Is this where the Islander fans would get their tickets as well or can they be put upper corners of the 300 Level?
alright im bringing this oh so favorite thread back for the start of the north american portion of the season haha
