i'll be at the Meridian Center. literally a 5 min drive from my house to see a Sabres/Leafs preseason game.

 

[Beerz]

Wonder if Stamkos will be at Canadian Tire Center signing autographs and handing out free Tire Pressure Gauges

Buffalo plays "at Toronto" in St. Catherines?

Isn't St. Catherines a heck of a lot closer to Buffalo than to Toronto?

Would be like playing a game "at the NY Rangers" in Syracuse.

Here is the complete 2016 Buffalo Sabres preseason schedule (all times EST)

I assume they mean "all times EDT" since Daylight Savings Time doesn't end until November 6th this year.

Sorry, one of my biggest pet peeves.

EST and EDT do not mean the same thing. If you're not sure which one is correct, just say 7 pm Eastern.

 

[Zman5778]

Yep. Definitely attending the State College game. Absolutely.

I have to deal with timezone conversion stuff all the time at work and I still get this wrong.

**** time zones and daylight savings.

 

[Paxon]

Pretty weird that there's a game all the way in Penn State. I imagine it's solely down to the Pegula connection.

Yep. My first thought was why scrap BCA for Pegula Ice Arena when RIT's Polisseni Center is just as new and still in Rochester. Less seats than either, but it still would've served the Rochester fanbase fine.

 

[BUCKSHOT]

According to the media in Rochester, the BCA is getting a 10 million dollar renovation. The Sabres/Amerks are the 'largest' tenant and they think they should have some say in what/how the upgrades go for

The Sabres pulled the preseason game there in protest and moved it to Penn State

I agree with you, but I feel that likewise I must point out that it's Daylight Saving Time, not savings (although, to be fair, "daylight savings time" is common enough that it isn't inaccurate per se, unless you're a prescriptivist).

 

[EichHart]

Can't wait for September. Best time of the year with the Bills and Sabres getting back to it.

 

[CaseyMitts37]

Hopefully they stream their home preseason games this year. It's 2016

Didn't the Sabres threaten to move half the Amerks games to Buffalo last summer in an arena upgrade dispute?

October 5 - Buffalo "at" Carolina - 7:00 pm ET - Essar Centre - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.

October 5 - Buffalo "at" Carolina - 7:00 pm ET - Essar Centre - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.

Why Sabres and Canes at Sault Ste. Marie?

Does either team have any connection there?

Wouldn't Toronto or Detroit make more sense geographically?
