TIC-TAC-TOE!!

The rule that the NHL ignored in the Dallas/Buffalo Stanley Cup final.

Is there no more "in the crease" rule?

We lost all our prospect tourney games and our first preseason game. Does this mean we are tanking again?

Preseason games are available for the first time.

He bears a slight resemblance to the logo, doesn't he?

So no last-minute unannounced video streams?

YES!!

Bring back the goat heads.

Why isn't "Bring back the goat heads" a poll option?

I prefer NHL.tv because I have the flexibility of watching mobile. It's also a little cheaper than Center Ice. As for DirecTV giving discounts, they can with Sunday Ticket but can't on Center Ice because they don't hold the rights.

I just renewed by NHL.tv subscription for this season. If you use a Discover card they knock off 10% of the 1-year price ($131.49) down to $118.34. Apparently they are pushing the monthly subscriptions for $24.99 but if you click this link: https://secure.web.nhl.com/#/billingaddress?flowId=purchase&campaignCode=NHL_PURCHASE_CMPGN&voucherCode=NHL_PURCHASE_VOCHR&sku=8750110000949930221601000&locale=en_US You can get the 1-year price. First ten days or so of the season are free preview time for Center Ice.

Terry played for the AHL Bisons, the last season before the Sabres when they won the Calder Cup.

Any relation to Terry Crisp?

Besides, season ticket prices are not a state secret. It's right on their website, along with the per-game price.

Arena capacity is 19,070. Take out 16K in seasons that leaves 3K for mini-packs and single game tickets.

http://sabres.nhl.com/club/m_news.htm?id=891671 Curious news story. I thought they capped ST's at 16K last year. Of course this story says "more than" 16K. How much more. How many tickets per game are available to the general public?

If demand plummets that means all that we have been enduring for 2+ seasons has blown up in our faces. A few points from earlier posts: This will only affect the secondary market for games that are not sold out. Low demand game prices will fall at the box office and on StubHub. But keep in mind the price of your typical 300 level Silver game seat is around $25 higher than the STH price. So it has a long way to fall before you are beating what STHers pay. If all you are doing is trying to recoup a game you can't get to, you should be fine. FYI during the tank, some weekday 300 level seats, which cost STH'ers $28, were going for as low as $6 on StubHub. On the other side, once games sell out the secondary market will set the price no matter. I don't think StubHub is losing sleep over this.

Hard to say. The last two seasons resellers were selling tickets below STH prices. Obviously the Sabres are banking on ticket demand going way up. But I agree, this move is designed to get a little extra cheddar when the resale market heats up. Then again once a game sells out the resellers hold court.

But then prices will rise or fall based on demand, similar to what happens on secondary market sites like StubHub. So if you buy a $50 ticket, a guy buying the same game a week later could pay $60 or $40 depending on demand. (Sorry for the duplicate post. Could a mod delete one.)

I assumed this was a given. Why do the Steeheads have any say at all? OHLInsiders(.com) ‏@OHLinsiders Hearing Mississauga #Steelheads FWD Alex Nylander will go to Rochester AHL on a loan type deal similar to what Dallas did with Julius Honka

Armageddon is not a prophesy. It's the goal line of almost every major religion.

Minions!

In theory, every team that signs a free agent overpays because the team he leaves didn't think he was worth paying. That's sort of the point of free agency.
