thewookie1 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Rochester? Discussed? Phase of ownership everything is looked at. have looked at Roch for practice facility. Probable? Not now. Will they build arena at Canisius? No. Would they partner with someone to build it? Yes. Cost 15-20 million. May I ask what you mean with this, what are the Sabres building at Canisius if they get a partner?
spndnchz Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 May I ask what you mean with this, what are the Sabres building at Canisius if they get a partner? They were talking about building a practice arena somewhere to build the fan base. Black said it would cost too much to build another one all on their own. But they might consider practicing at one that had good facilities.
spndnchz Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 Waiting list: See if he can get computer guys to make online list to see where u are on list. Blue and Gold "waiting list" members getting e-mailed their position on the list today. :worthy: That was quick.

Its to bad UB hasnt gotten off their butts and started a hockey program because that would be the perfect partner for them. Especially considering UB sports medicine already has a connection to the sabres.
Braedon Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Its to bad UB hasnt gotten off their butts and started a hockey program because that would be the perfect partner for them. Especially considering UB sports medicine already has a connection to the sabres. If we're talking about just building a fan base, UB would not be ideal. They have plenty of support north of the city with the affluence of Amherst and the history of practicing at the Pepsi Center. And if UB were to build a rink, it would most certainly be at the North Campus vs. South. If they could draw people to the city for practices, it's a win win. I don't know much about the Canisius program, but I do know that they were banking on funding from TG a year or so ago in order to make it work. If Black says the Sabres aren't funding it, then it ain't happening.
wjag Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Wow, one has to be reminded this thread actually was informative when it was started and then it went off the rails, I mean way off the rails... :rolleyes: Perhaps a well meaning mod could take the first few pages and chop it out into it's own thread and then the remaining seven pages or so and start a genomic thread.. Label it WOT.. Way off topic.. The things you people do to popcorn... :lol:

nobody Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 By the way - in that GR interview I believe I heard Ted Black mentioning that he answered questions on a fan message board. I'm guessing he meant the one tied to the Sabres site. If he stopped by over here and started reading this thread I think he might just take his beer and head the other way.
Braedon Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 Ice: Investing in de-humidification system. Over 1 million cost. I'm actually surprised that it doesn't cost more to fix the ice. Being such a problem in some rinks (DC, SJ, NYR), it should be something that the NHL requires of its owners.

It will be such a great thing if the ice gets so good that it becomes an advantage for the Sabres.
spndnchz Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Posted May 24, 2011 Black, Regier and Ruff to talk on Wednesday about locker room, etc renovations on GR http://wgr550.com/Sa...dnesday/9903761 Sabres are calling it a "ceremony to begin the Sabres locker room demolition and renovations."

Hopefully Paul Hamilton will ask them if they are going to install gatorade shelves in the player bathrooms.
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Hopefully Paul Hamilton will ask them if they are going to install gatorade shelves in the player bathrooms. Don't worry....2/3's of them pee sitting down.
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 I like Ted Black. Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna ride this team when they start 7-11-3.....but he is pretty genuine. You can tell he actually listens to ideas and is willing to think outside the box. I think when times get tough he will have the ability to suggest real changes. The question becomes, how long do we have to wait for that to happen?
spndnchz Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Posted June 8, 2011 They have demolition pics of the locker room on sabres.com if ur interested.

spndnchz Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 Why in the corner are they embossed 7/1/07 ??? It a tribute 2 u. U didn't get the memo?
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 It a tribute 2 u. U didn't get the memo? How awesome would it be if the new locker room has a life-sized merry-go-round.....and instead of horses they are buffalo....and each one has a saddlecloth with the name and number of a Sabre great....and before each game the current Sabres all get on a buffalo and ride together? Come'on Ted....get it done. Or at least get Pegs to donate it to Roswell.
