If this is about the Harbor Center or something not hockey related, I'm going to be mildly annoyed. VERY MILDLY.

 

[Jame]

Harbor Center!!!!
lol

edit: great minds think alike... burn! lol

 

[haseoke39]

Terry's buying the Maple Leafs to form one mega roster.

 

[Juni]

Please don't be Miller related.

 

[sabres4ever]

They're trading stafford?

 

[vcv]

The lack of notice (1 hour only) leads me to believe it's not HarborCenter related.

But they wouldn't call a press conference for a trade, would they?

But calling it "major" reeks of it NOT being major..

 

[Jim Bob]

I'm guessing it's Harbor Center related.

 

[sabrefan27]

Contract extensions for Regier and Rolston.

 

[SabresFan26]

Hmm,

firing?

 

[rabi]

Ott resigned

 

[Jame]

you would think they'd have the foresight to not mess with the fan base, by making Harbor Center news, a "major announcement"

 

[Jim Bob]

The lack of notice (1 hour only) leads me to believe it's not HarborCenter related.

But they wouldn't call a press conference for a trade, would they?

But calling it "major" reeks of it NOT being major..

Maybe it's that they are killing the 3rd jersey?

 

[haseoke39]

Terry's buying Mighty Taco and putting them in the Arena.

 

[Jim Bob]

Ott resigned

That makes sense, too.

Re-signing the captain would be "major". As would re-signing Miller.

 

[Jame]

They will NOT wear the 3rd jersey?

 

[Jim Bob]

Could it be announcing that #39 is going into the rafters?

 

[sabres4ever]

Contract extensions for Regier and Rolston.

Don't even kid about that.

 

[Jame]

Maybe it's that they are killing the 3rd jersey?

dammit... i can't be first on anything in this thread...

 

[Jame]

Could it be announcing that #39 is going into the rafters?

another good one

 

[vcv]

Ott resigned

Have they ever held a press conference on short notice for an extension? Not that I recall.

 

[Jim Bob]

They will NOT wear the 3rd jersey?

I soooooooo hope that is it. But, I doubt it.

They will wear those horrible things.

 

[SabresFan26]

Ya the major news makes it interesting for sure. Miller could have resigned 5-6 years? Ott maybe? Trade? Firing?

 

[Jame]

if it's not related to the roster or the staff... im going to be annoyed
