It'll be interesting to see if this game even happens.

 

[hizzoner]

Well so much for me going-I guess I eat my tickets-not the first time in the 50 plus years I have been attending!

The Canucks are already here, FWIW (flew in from Pittsburgh last night): AC7037 (ACA7037) Air Canada Flugtracking und Flugverlaufsdaten 11.01.2024 (KPIT-KBUF) - FlightAware

That being said, if there is a postponement, the only possible makeup date from what I can see would be 2/5.

Not watching as 4am starts don't work for these guys

I am all but certain that they will offer fans who couldn't make it a chance to exchange tickets for a future game (not like they lack the inventory to do so).

Maybe they’ll exchange them for playoff tickets.

Very, very future considerations? I hope they are transferable to the next generation. At least then fans can add those ticket rights to their wills for future children and grandchildren.

Canuck's are playing some nice hockey, wish the Sabre's could turn it around like they did. Too bad Tochett spooked the Pegula's boy scout image. Sorry you will miss it chief.

Snow blower tested, gassed, and ready for 1-3 foot, Chili on the stove, cornbread baked, pickles from NYC check.

I'll make up for it, will do an OHL WHL double-header. Chili sounds good, think I'll send the caretaker out for some beef cubes, slow cook it over night then toss the beef in some tortillas with egg n cheese, smother them with chili before baking

I'm almost positive that this game will be played with fans. Downtown is only looking at 2-4" of accumulation during the day Saturday with wind and blowing snow. This isn't at all the same thing as Sunday in OP.

It won't be pretty down there on the Lake, but people have braved some blowing snow to attend hundreds of Sabres games over 50+ years.

Who wants to have to brave the weather and then brave an embarrassing Sabres game tho?

Never underestimate the stupidity of Politicians.

 

[BB79]

Too bad, missed opportunity for another Winter Classic game. These sissy games in locations that are 60 and sunny just don't cut it

Never underestimate the stupidity of Politicians.

It's impossible to overestimate

pickles from NYC?
that's a new one to me. More details please.

Sabres seem to inexplicably play well against the best teams in the league. I think they can steal this one.

Absolutely. Their tendency to do this is how they’ve managed to string some of us along for so long.

 

[truthbluth]

The Canucks currently have a team PDO of 104.3, which, if sustained, would be a top five all lime number. It could happen, but I’m thinking they eventual regress. A sustained shooting pct of 13.8 seems highly unlikely.

 

[MOGlLNY]

No Tage? meh

Who wants to have to brave the weather and then brave an embarrassing Sabres game tho?

I think a lot of people would. Could be a fun (using this word extremely generously considering the team) pregame for Bills tomorrow

What fans? Games are usually half empty or more anyways, the players won't notice a difference.

Man, zing.

Crowds in person actually haven't been terrible the past month, relative to this board's mood at least.

Our great grandchildren will collect, if we're lucky.

Bills game got postponed, I wonder if they will postpone this game too? Seems like they probably would have already done it if so.

WNYers are pretty tough when it comes to snow storms.

I know because I have lived elsewhere and watched the local hand wringing and the angst.

Just get in your truck, put 'er in 4 wheel and drive for crying out loud.....
