sounds good. What time should I show up?

 

[5 Minute Major]

Us old heads will remember a game the Sabres played against the Kings in the mid 80’s.

Snow storm conditions, about 300 or 400 fans in the Aud. I suspect the same will happen today. The Canucks, from what I understand, were in town yesterday.

TBF I usually leave hockey games after the 3rd quarter.

But all the action happens in the 4th!

Lol quarters.

 

[dortt]

big deal

I remember in Dec 2001 when we had that 7 feet of snow in a week the arena was packed for a Montreal game

Took an hour to get out of the parking lot after the game, though

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Any news on Thompson injury?

The better decision would have been to move the game up to 12 or 1, though that decision would have had to be made yesterday.

They had one like that in the mid 90's too, I think against San Jose? We all got a free ticket for another game as well. There were 600 of us announced in the Aud. I got in trouble for popping my head up and razzing LaFontaine with a "hey, Pat, we pay (insert his salary, I think it was $2M USD at the time) for this?" and his eyes were bugging out of his head. The usher then asked me to leave where I was standing. Turns out I was right beside the Knox Brothers seats and Pat may have thought my comment was from them.

I see the start time for the Bills game has been moved to Monday.

I have had to drive home in blizzards but only had to grab a room three times-always in Fort Erie though. Did turn back a couple times. The French connection was just too much to miss--my late wife thought I was nuts!

 

[Chainshot]

Did some digging - it was a game against the then hapless Tampa Bay Lightning that they lost 6-1 on December 11th, 1995. They had a then-record of 24" of snow on the 10th. We got comp seats for a game against the Avs and surprisingly they won 4-3 a couple nights later.

Buffalo Sabres and proactive decision-making. Name a more iconic duo.

Eh, the NHL has to make that call. It's not like they are some sort of giant brain of advanced decisions either.

 

[TehDoak]

I feel worse for the people who work the concessions/Stadium.

They should close the upper level and just let everyone sit in the lower bowls for this one. Can't imagine there will be more than 3k fans here.

 

[Ace]

I don’t know how there will be a game on Monday. Feels like travel in for the opponent won’t happen. Todays game…I mean…Vancouver is already here. We already know the NHL doesn’t care about fan safety we did this dance last year. Teams are here they’re dropping the puck.

 

[Dingo44]

Lol quarters.

I'd say she's the worst but there's a lot of competition in NYS.

 

[Ace]

Feels like they’ve already decided Joker is out after this year. They need to upgrade the top 4 and he’s the one they keep sitting. Samuelsson, Dahlin and Power got paid. E Johnson will be gone. They can’t do nothing to the tip 4 again. Samuelsson should be on the third pair with Clifton and Ryan Johnson should be in the top 4 along with a new player…but it will take a smarter coach to figure that out for more than a game at a time.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Tage in, VO and Joki healthy scratches.

LFG

Football it is.

Yeah, I almost added that qualifier that I was aware of that. But regardless, it just felt on brand for the Sabres for something to be drawn out and delayed long after a decision should be made.

 

[Ace]

What’s that Marty? Quinn Hughes game went into the stratosphere when his GM spent assets acquiring a proven solid top 4 D partner in his prime?

That’s crazy and not at all interesting to this organization’s continued failures.

 

[sabremike]

This was a Mickey Rat call because they had an exclusive window from 1-4 for a national game.
