Pegulas New Bills Stadium Proposal a Public and Private Partnership
Stoner replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Are you sure misbehavior is inversely related to ability to pay? Or are you saying if tickets are expensive enough fewer people will "waste" them by getting drunk? Also it looks a lot like Rich. -
The border re-opened recently.

How are all the American ticket holders going to get into Canada? Am I missing something here?
-
I'm holding my fire bc I can't believe it's true. Haven't they been selling tickets to people for a game in Buffalo?

The first two sentences illustrate the disconnect. Fans aren't supposed to think like GMs though.

Where I'm going is we overrate our Sabres. 19/20 Jack is not burned in brain. Nor is 89/90 Turgeon. I wonder why.

You're not really saying much. So is Matt Barzal.

That guy's better than Dan.

They're selling like... cookies?

Did you ever wonder what's really going on?

Does it though? Is it though?

RJ States this will be His Final Year Announcing Sabres Games
Stoner replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
I might have to add: Sometime after this season. On The Instigators yesterday, Rivet asked him what he'll miss the most. Rick said he can't answer it yet; ask him again next year. "I might be back." Maybe it was a joke. I couldn't tell. -
They'll just make Fan Appreciation Night Fan Appreciation Day and have it against the Isles. Hawks.

From this day henceward he will be known as Doctor Mr. John Eichel. @New Scotland (NS)

Rick's non announcer voice has always sounded crummy. -
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm Things are picking up in Florida and Georgia. Define "last few years." There was very little flu this past season.

True. We've been treated to pizza from the local KofC and a local BBQ truck set up with free meals. It's enormously meaningful.

And he'll say maybe he'll sit down after the season with Cupcake... -
You said they stubbled on him. I'll show myself out.

Yes. (Incoming summer rerun: and the PA guy, the anthem singer, the horn, the organist who played Closing Time when the opponent scored an empty net goal, the mascot; just eradicate every sight and sound associated, unfairly, with losing. And, yes, for now that probably includes Sabre Dance, which is still played often at games.) So McDermott is the corner of the coffeetable. Interesting. I hadn't thought of him that way.

I think I'd rather be there and directly show appreciation. I owe him at least that much. Of course one could listen from one's seat. At least I think so. Not on a smart phone, which would be delayed, but with a portable radio. I honestly have no idea if such a gizmo still exists. -
In terms of enough time, is the McBeane analogy apt? In year one, they cleaned house to a fair extent and unexpectedly took the team to the playoffs. In year 2, a step back. In year 3, the playoffs again. Year 4 — contenders. Or is NHL vs. NFL too much apples vs. oranges? Adams does seem to be doing a pretty good BB impression.

I'm starting to feel the Flyers game. Would Rick himself rather close with Philly, which has some obvious historic appropriateness, or Chicago? (The Isles game works for this angle, too, given the early playoff matchups between the teams.) Also, assuming there's going to be a whole night devoted to Rick, how would that work on Fan Appreciation Night? PHILLY! And I'm suddenly so confident, I will wager that bet with @Taro T. (The charity is my account at The Hair Club for "Men.")
