Andrew Amerk Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Thanks for the updates, much appreciated! Any word on any sort of promotional nights throughout the season?
spndnchz Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Posted September 8, 2011 Regarding TV broadcasts: Pregame and post game shows for all games, new graphics, new song score, new in-arena studio location.

At the Sabres store I would assume?
spndnchz Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Posted September 8, 2011 So if I wear my Slug Jersey I can get a new jersey for 41% off? At the Sabres store I would assume? Yup. Wear a jersey, get a jersey. Wear a hat, get a hat. Wear bikini undies, get bikini undies. Nothing for out of towners or online, just the store, just the 19th.

spndnchz Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Posted September 8, 2011 They will be raising Hasek's number to the rafters as soon as he stops playing professionally.
carpandean Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Wear bikini undies, get bikini undies. I really feel for the poor guy that has to verify the slug bikini undies. ;)
Andrew Amerk Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 They will be raising Hasek's number to the rafters as soon as he stops playing professionally. Soooooooo, I should set aside a date for the year 2030?
qwksndmonster Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 I really feel for the poor guy that has to verify the slug bikini undies. ;) You don't like droppin' 'em?

It's not like you wear a green hat with a slug on it you need to buy a green hat. Just not key chain for a jersey I would expect.

Just not key chain for a jersey I would expect. If they let you wear a replica jersey and then buy an authentic at that discount, I just might send my brother in for one.
5th line wingnutt Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 I really feel for the poor guy that has to verify the slug bikini undies. ;) and what about the slug thong?
shrader Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 and what about the slug thong? Is that another name for a banana hammock? We'll leave that job to chz.

sabres1970 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Smart. I was hoping they'd do something like this to rid the arena of those ugly jerseys. Any slug they can replace is a job well done.
LabattBlue Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Ted Black is AWESOME...and he has a great sense of humor.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 i would love to be able to trade in the slug magnets for classic emblem magnets oh well may have to wait till I can order some on line.
LabattBlue Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Just going thru the chat now... Comment From Adam: Can fans expect to see any major changes at F-N Center? BUFFALO SABRES: f'n yes! :lol:
LabattBlue Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Comment From Steve G. What will be the Sabres theme song when they enter the ice for every game? It was Baba O'Reilly last year and it was awesome! 11:49 BUFFALO SABRES: sorry for not typing faster 11:49 BUFFALO SABRES: No, it will be Cotton Eyed Joe 11:49 BUFFALO SABRES: I KID, I KID :clapping:
LabattBlue Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Comment From Alex Ted, personal opinion: Duff's or Anchor Bar? 12:05 BUFFALO SABRES: Duffs. I am a greasy wing guy. I also use it as hair gel... :D
LabattBlue Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Comment From Joey H Ted, will you be attending Night of Champions next Sunday?? 12:10 BUFFALO SABRES: I have an Oprah book club event that night...
LabattBlue Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Comment From Brandon Have the slug's been taken off the scoreboard yet? If so what will replace them? 12:47 BUFFALO SABRES: We sprayed them with "Slug Be Gone" and they disappeared. I believe to be replaced with traditional logo and First Niagara Center signage.
X. Benedict Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 ted is a great guy. I love that he wants to fly the Buffalo City Flag. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Buffalo,_New_York.svg It's the coolest city flag in the country.
