Wow! That is terrible.

Pre-Game Atmosphere at Key Bank Arena is Lacking
LabattBlue replied to CallawaySabres's topic in The Aud Club
Well…I haven’t been to a game since before Covid hit. Good to hear that they are taking steps in the right direction. Was this a one off, or something they did all season? -
Pre-Game Atmosphere at Key Bank Arena is Lacking
LabattBlue replied to CallawaySabres's topic in The Aud Club
I think a band somewhere in the atrium(from the time the gates open, until the game starts), and then somewhere in the seating bowl carve out space for a stage for the same band or different band to perform during intermissions, and even a few songs after the game, would be great. -
I haven’t been to a Bandits game in 10 years. Not to sound like “old guy”, but do they still blast the music while the play is going on? I never figured it out. I can see the music during timeouts, but during the play…what is the point?

Offseason Gameplan 2022 - Solving the goaltending system wide.
LabattBlue replied to GASabresIUFAN's topic in The Aud Club
Going with UPL and Anderson or an equivalent level goalie(below average vet) will be a huge mistake on Adam’s part. I know many will disagree, but if that is Adam’s plan for 22-23, my confidence meter in him will be close to zero, and he should be fired. 3 seasons of garbage goaltending is UNACCEPTABLE. -

Thoughts on an Alternative to the Draft Lottery Format
LabattBlue replied to Taro T's topic in The Aud Club
The best run and most successful professional sports league in NA doesn’t use a draft lottery. It is not needed, and wish it would be eliminated. -
Anyone remember when early plans were to build the arena in the area of where the Kensington Expressway ends?

You are so lovable at times.

The internet must have been scrubbed of the #11 bedsheet. It was really that bad. This is the only pic I could find, and it doesn’t do justice to how bad it was…
-
As someone who suffers from OCD, my answer is 100% YES. On a related side note, who else remembers the original #11 bedsheet they hung from the rafters when first retiring his number?

AHL points leader local kid from Williamsville, Andrew Poturalski
LabattBlue replied to matter2003's topic in The Aud Club
Probably time to go to Europe and make some coin for the next 5 years or so. That being said, a local product who is the scoring champ at the highest level of minor league professional hockey in NA is a very nice accomplishment. 👍🏻 -
Really odd. Possible they closed it to the media?
-
That is what I was asking. Thx. 👍🏻

Aren’t there 3 attempts?

Will any of the playoff games be televised…Buffalo area?
-
Poor choice of words(star) on my part. Fast forward one day…I stand by my choice the NFL draft over a meaningless game where the Sabres got shellacked.

Extended interview, RJ and WGRZ’s Adam Benigni… https://www.wgrz.com/mobile/article/sports/nhl/sabres/buffalo-sabres-rick-jeanneret-discusses-his-nhl-career/71-b39f0c3e-483a-4436-9f3a-4efc16a6ec04

Good question. I do wonder about those who think they can make the jump to a playoff team with the addition of a goalie and a vet RD. 25-30 points is a big one season jump. 🤞🏻
-
Safe travels!
-
I still enjoy it. Like I said…too each their own. 😉
-
…and they would be?
-
Too each their own. Draft has a lot of entertainment value, and always interesting to see if the Bills can find a star in the 1st round. A meaningless end of season hockey game featuring a team that is missing the playoffs AGAIN, not so much.
-
Yawn. Nobody thinks this, but stay up on your pedestal and keep preaching.

IMO…you are dreaming. The NFL is the #1 sport in the US, and shows no signs of slowing down. It is a license to print money.
