X. Benedict Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 So how big of a dick will I look like when I'm rooting for kassian, Foligno & McNabb to all get sent down? That's the trouble with being an AHL fan. :lol:
Taro T Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Posted June 14, 2011 Word is the deal is dun and getting bog approval. Should be dun within the next week. Portland is in talks with a couple of west coast teams for affiliation. Cool for Ra-cha-cha Sabres & Amerks fans. Any word on how this affects the lease renewal discussions for the Kin-ig-it Hawks? I really didn't see Styres selling the Amerks until he was ready to pull up stakes on the team he does care about. Hope I'm wrong on that. Hopefully Styres isn't bored w/ the drive down to watch his nephew play, and this was just a case of a really rich guy wanting to do something nice for his FiL and 'making an offer he couldn't refuse.'
shrader Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 That's the trouble with being an AHL fan. :lol: And the college world too. We're lucky to see our best players stick around for a 3rd year.
carpandean Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 So how big of a dick will I look like when I'm rooting for kassian, Foligno & McNabb to all get sent down? I suspect that we'll get to see them here for at least the start of the season, but they may force their way up. Be sure to catch those early games.
Lanny Posted June 19, 2011 Report Posted June 19, 2011 LetsGoAmerks The current #rumor is June 28th for an announcement of the #Sabres buying the #amerks
spndnchz Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 http://www.letsgoamerks.com/2011/06/22/countdown-to-the-sale-shouldnt-be-any-doubters/ Ink YOU HAVE TO READ THIS! Planets are in alignment. The American Hockey League invited teams to Springfield, MA for their marketing meetings and one team is missing, the Rochester Americans.June 28th being the possible date for an announcement. Why that date? It’s during The AHL’s board of governor meetings in Hilton Head. As Kevin Oklobzija mentioned, current Amerks Owner Curt Styres and team President Lewis Staats have rooms booked.

ROC Sabres Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 TPegs for President!!! This is awesome to hear and hopefully I will be making it to some more games at blue cross this season.
carpandean Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 This is awesome to hear and hopefully I will be making it to some more games at blue cross this season. I will definitely be going to more Amerks games if this all works out.
X. Benedict Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Oklobzija wieghbs inbz http://blogs.democratandchronicle.com/kevino/ Paetsch to play for the Wolfsburg Grizzly Adams. I wonder if the mascot is a bear named Ben.
darksabre Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Man, I feel bad for Portland fans if they partner with Florida.
KeithLGA Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Hey all, thanks for the links and recognition (I run LetsGoAmerks). I'm looking forward to this renewed relationship!! Will try and stop by more often.

I was chillin in the pool this week talking to the 'rents (no I don't live in their basement, I DRIVE over to their house to clean their pool as they are old people) and we are all very excited about this happening.
inkman Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 In the name of Jody Gage...... Welcome aboard, Keith. Ah the memories... Jody Gage Bobby Mongrain Jim Jackson Mal Davis Dan Frawley Dave Fenvys Jim Hofford Chris Langevin Don McSween :thumbsup: Those were my Amerks.
darksabre Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 I'm looking forward to hitting up a lot more games this season. I only went to a few last year and it was just heartbreakingly bad hockey. I'd love to see that place rockin! And with players like Kassian and Foligno, it will.
nobody Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Hey all, thanks for the links and recognition (I run LetsGoAmerks). I'm looking forward to this renewed relationship!! Will try and stop by more often. Welcome aboard! We had a pretty decent connection with Chris Roy (Wildcat48) reporting over in Portland. We look forward to the same with you.
KeithLGA Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Welcome aboard! We had a pretty decent connection with Chris Roy (Wildcat48) reporting over in Portland. We look forward to the same with you. I am to the Amerks what Chris is to the Pirates. I'm originally from Buffalo so this is all exciting!
wonderbread Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 I am to the Amerks what Chris is to the Pirates. I'm originally from Buffalo so this is all exciting! You should let us determine that.

Do you really think anyone would judge you if you did :devil:
bunomatic Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Man, I feel bad for Portland fans if they partner with Florida. If Portlands lucky it'll be the Canucks as they'll be looking for a partner.
X. Benedict Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 If Portlands lucky it'll be the Canucks as they'll be looking for a partner. I wonder if Vancouver's Moose affiliation travels to St. Johns..
Taro T Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Posted June 23, 2011 If Portlands lucky it'll be the Canucks as they'll be looking for a partner. Though the travel would be outrageous, Vancouver could do a lot worse than the :pirate: 's as a farm club. And I wouldn't wish the Cats even on Donner. :o (Eh, on 2nd thought, if he finagles his way into a different ownership group in a different city someday, I think they're perfect for each other. ;) )
LGR4GM Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 as long as that we are talking ownership (which is seems we (meaning the sabres) are) and not a simple affiliation, then WOOOO.
shrader Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 I wonder if Vancouver's Moose affiliation travels to St. Johns.. I can't imagine the AHL being too happy with the Winnipeg ownership owning Vancouver's affiliate. Maybe it'll be a one year thing, but it can't last. St. Johns has to wind up affiliated with Winnipeg.
