Yes. I joined a "club" or something like that to get a beer. Back in 1981, I was just out of college and I drank beer but never really messed much with booze or wine. Things were so different then.

I still cannot believe that happened. On a delayed penalty they score on themselves. Oh my, the highest levels of incompetence flow from top to bottom in this organization.

55 years of watching this team and I’ve never seen that. give them the puck, stop the clock, get the Power Play. DUMB TEAM. 55 years and this finally happens.

I spent one night in Salt Lake City back in 1981, on my way to California via Reno and Tahoe. The food was bland and there was nothing to do.

Ugh b

Nice shorty 71

I can’t believe the Sabres have less points than this Utah team, and that they are losing tonight. It just sucks that they are this bad.

Yes. lol.

Krebs that is a terrible penalty.

Dunleavy is nuts. Clifton did not drop his gloves. each get 2. Fair. Move on.

Can’t trust anyone these days.

I get up to take a leak and we give up a goal.

We deserve a lot more. We are die hards. See no goal.

No interference.

Whoa! Malley.

Nice to see Peterka get 20. Keep it going kid.

McLeod usually dies make a mistake. Bad break. Stuff happens.

Great shift by Dahlin.

Awkward anthem rendition tonight.

Looking forward to it. Still love to watch the games. Thinking of some Greek food tonight before the late start?

This proved my point even more. Bandits play 9 home games, average ticket price is $50. Plenty of $11-25 tickets.

The Buffalo-Niagara Falls metro area population was ~1.35M in 1970 and it is ~1.17M today. This does not include Southern Ontario which is Canada's most densely populated area and has had significant population growth since 1970. So the population of the potential fan base today, if allowed to count just a small portion of Southern Ontario, is about the same now as it was in 1970. The big reasons for Buffalo gaining a franchise was that the market was hot for hockey and the likelihood for success was thought to be high, and the ownership was considered strong. When Buffalo was passed over for league expansion in 1967, the Knox brothers tried to purchase the Oakland Seals two years later with the intent on moving that team to Buffalo. The 1970 population was not the defining reason. In fact, the Sabres had to compete with the NBA expansion Buffalo Braves in 1970, something they do not have to do today.
