  1. I've run my course here. I've enjoyed talking hockey and OT topics over the years. The board dynamics have changed a lot. Maybe it's just me getting older. Might still lurk anonymously from time to time, but my posting days are over. Go Sabres!
  2. I could not care less what the swords lyrics were written about at the time, why can't it be the song played along with a video on the jumbotron of soldiers going to battle with swords(real swords ;)) in hands. Either way I'll sing, and I don't care what other fans/media think about it. PS I think even though Howl just got selected as the NJ Devils song, it wouldn't surprise me if it wins. Even though he is not part of the "marketing/pr/in-game experience coordinator" team, Gaslight Anthem is a huge favorite of Brian Duff's. Wonder if it was his suggestion to begin with?
  3. I want the Sabres to win as much as possible this year and part of that plan doesn't include an 18 year old blue liner with no NHL experience to his name. I'd go with Ruhwedel, Colo or McCabe knowing that Gorges and Bogo more than likely won't be there for opening night.... Risto Franson Weber Pysyk ...and some combo of Ruhwedel, Colo and McCabe for your 3rd pairing. Send Guhle back by the weekend. PS Garth doesn't even believe the crap he writes. Comparisons to Doughty and Karlsson...nothing but click bait.
  4. I can't remember from last year. When is draft order revealed? Also, what does "NA" roster position mean?
  5. I was concerned about Bogo's injury history when the trade went down, and this doesn't make me feel any better, when the regular season hasn't even started and he is out "week to week". :( :(
  6. Went to guest services both on the 100 & 300 levels to get a roster and was told "we don't have any". So for a preseason game where have the players aren't easily identifiable by number(due to the number of new players) you have no rosters. But for a regular season game you have stacks of rosters to hand out.
  7. Considering how often coaches change lines in the regular season, do they ever have any meaning?
  8. I tried to abide by this when I was a mod here. Warnings/Bans in regards to board abuses should take place in private.
  9. ...or even worse, come up here in December, light up the Bills, and eliminate them from the playoff race.
  10. Would it be asking a lot if the coaches had Eichel skip last nights game(which could not be seen either on TV or stream) and played tomorrow instead as a goodwill gesture to fans attending the game? Change the coaches, do the front office shuffle, and yet a simple PR move cannot be executed. I thought stuff like this would be right up the alley of PT Brandon aka marketing whiz.
  11. Huh? I thought the prospects game was for players yet to reach their draft year. If I am wrong and he is playing, they don't show him listed on the roster... http://www.allamericanprospectsgame.com/page/show/641365-home
  12. Looking at 12-13 stats... Foligno Pysyk Ruhwedel Ellis
  13. Having a loved one in a nursing home(short term or long term) SUCKS. The bad nursing homes suck a lot, and the good nursing homes just suck less.
  14. So you bought a Mac? :ph34r:
  15. Hopefully he also mentioned that more importantly, he'd like to help the Sabres win a Cup. :rolleyes:
  16. It is longer but by how much I don't know. At the top of the announced schedule... Schedule for first week of on-ice sessions of training camp (all times are subject to change):
  17. Can't agree more. Get rid of the blue/almost black and also any silver in the unis. The Sabres are the blue and gold, NOT blue, gold and silver armpits. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
  18. Peters has been blabbering all summer long about how Reinhart needs to play in the AHL this year. STFU already. I don't know why he has such a hard-on about this, but the kid has done nothing but impress at the rookie camp and more recently at the prospects tourney. I'm guessing you will be cheering for him to the bed in training camp and in the preseason games so that you can continue with your agenda. I thought maybe PR/Marketing genius Brandon would see through these two clowns and send them packing, but I guess I was wrong.
  19. :wub: :wub:
  20. in all fairness most of the WNY sports focus is on the Bills right now. I imagine that once we get within a week or two of the season the demand will go up(hopefully says this season ticket holder). If the Sabres get off to a decent start(not hard to improve on the last two seasons), then the market will continue to trend upwards.
  21. What is different from last year? I personally would drop shorthanded categories. More luck than anything. No one is drafting players based on the 3 or 4 shorthand points they accrue in an ENTIRE SEASON.
  22. So much for that prediction. :doh:
  23. So the alternative is that Kane just writes a check with a lot of zeros, is convicted of no crime, claims that it was consensual sex, and just goes on with his frat boy life? Sounds like a good deal for him.
  24. Are they getting rid of those stupid tapered jerseys?
