  1. I feel your pain. I’ve also been a fan since 1970. All my frustration with the team is directed at the Pegula’s, and I don’t see even a spec of light at the end of the tunnel. Just sell the team already. 😞
  2. The plan to connect Rte 5 to the 190 via an industrial part of South Buffalo, and then take down the Skyway, has been around for a long time now. It’s not going to happen anytime in the next decade or two(probably never), no matter how many press conferences Higgins holds.
  3. If this has been discussed up thread I apologize, but has Sam’s willingness to play center(and be pretty good at it) have anything to do with his biggest payday just around the corner? What if he goes back to, I don’t want to play center? Why after years of having no viable 2C on the roster, does Reinhart magically appear to fill the role?
  4. Beautiful summary of how baseball has been ruined by the “home run or strike out” mentality. It sucks. 😞
  5. If being the laughingstock of the NHL for the last decade hasn’t humiliated and embarrassed them, nothing will.
  6. Do the final four teams get seeded based on regular season point totals?
  7. Since taxpayer money is probably going to fund at least half of any project, when will these “secret” studies for a new stadium and/or arena renovation be released to the public?
  8. What a joke and an embarrassment to that franchise. What if you wore a tshirt, hat, or sweatshirt with the opposing teams logo. Is that ok? If part of my job was to enforce that policy, I’d quit on the spot
  9. At one point I would have been happy to contribute to an airplane banner or a billboard. Now....not worth it. It would have no impact on these clueless owners. There is clearly a major disconnect between ownership and the fans. To those who still want to defend them, good for you. For the rest of us, there aren’t enough rosaries, candles, wishing wells, etc... in the world that would change them into competent owners.
  10. Only time will tell. Terry and Kim appreciate your loyalty...i hope they reward you by jacking up prices again. For the record, I have been in a group that has shared 4 tickets since the early 2000’s. We had been losing people over the last four years, and 19-20 was the last of the remaining members of the group. They stole enough money from me over the last decade. That game has come to an end.
  11. Back or neck. That being said, i felt kind of ripped off when i saw him two years ago, as I was unaware he’d be sitting the entire concert...except for one song if I remember correctly.
  12. As long as we are off topic, I enjoyed all the SW movies. Hard to get angry about a movie that entertains. To me...they all accomplished that. Then again, Im not a SW fanboy, so maybe that is why I can’t get worked up about this or that not being right in any of the 3 trilogies.
  13. I’m sure the STH renewal numbers will be a closely guarded secret, but I expect them to drop by 2k-3k. Good thing if Terry needs money, he will just drill another well...right?
  14. Is Phil going to be sitting in a chair for the entire concert...like he did on his recent solo tour?
  15. Bravo!!! At the risk of repeating myself, there is no doubt in my mind that the Pegula’s are meddling, and this decade of futility is mostly the fault of said owners.
  16. I have no inside info, but i still believe the Bills new stadium will end up in the arena area, and will have a fixed roof dome. The KBC needs a major renovation, but keep in mind that there is only so much that can be done within the existing footprint...but the more money thrown at it, the better the end product will be...and it does need a LOT of money dedicated to it.
  17. I am pretty sure many PSE employees have offices in the building next to the arena that houses the “Labatt House” that is now owned by the Pegula’s. I would think though that the inner circle of hockey ops(GM, Coaches, etc...) have offices in the arena.
  18. I hope your health issues are resolved fairly soon. Take care. You will be missed. 😞
  19. Adams wanting to gain experience in the “HC search” arena by taking his time and interviewing many candidates, could have been avoided if ownership had hiring an experienced NHL GM instead of Adams Anyone who finds the silver lining in Adams statements in this regard, are grasping at straws. Sorry that I am pissed, after a decade of running this franchise into the ground, that ownership decided to go with a GM who is learning on the job. The Pegula’s are terrible owners, and anyone who spends a penny on the team prior to dramatic improvement of the on-ice product is a fool.
  20. I’ll be disappointed if they keep Granato or hire a college coach. 👎
  21. After a decade of running this franchise into the ground, I don’t know how anyone can defend the Pegula’s? They are a joke, and will continue to be until proven otherwise.
  22. I’ve seen nothing in the last two playoffs that would make me believe Cirelli is a 1C...maybe a 2C.
  23. If they are going for an in person meeting in Florida, its for a heck of a lot more than “how is the coach search coming along”? IMO...the Pegula’s are involved more than any of us would care for....and chances are it will end up more bad than good. 😞
  24. As a top 3 pick? Sorry, I want a heck of a lot more than Myers 2.0 from that pick.
