darksabre Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Haven't been up there since 2007. People say Toronto has an awful atmosphere but it was still *much* better than the FNC these past couple years. The team sucked but people were at least there to have fun. The atmosphere in Buffalo lately has been worse than indifferent. It's not just quiet. The crowd is actively hostile to the players and is ready to turn on them at a moment's notice. I get that the team isn't very good but if you feel that way, why are you there? Because making other people feel bad is fun. Hasn't Ghost taught you anything! Quote
beerme1 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Over two and a half minutes without possession of the puck while in your own end will turn any crowd. Quote
Grinder Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Go to a game at ACC sometime and tell me how loud it isn't. I went to 5-6 Leafs games last year, including the home opener against the Sabres, and their game 6 win vs Boston in last year's playoffs, and every game had a better atmosphere than just about every game I've been to at FNC since Briere and Drury left. I go to 4-5 games a year here in Buffalo. Quote

MattPie Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Mike Robitaille is retiring. He just announced it on SHH And Brad May replacing him! Quote
darksabre Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 And Brad May replacing him! For real? Quote
dudacek Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Loved Brad as a player, but he hasn't been the best broadcaster. The man may have the biggest head on TV Quote
MattPie Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) The man may have the biggest head on TV So he's just an incremental upgrade from Robie? :) Edited October 3, 2013 by MattPie Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 The man may have the biggest head on TV He brought this up today on SHH. On Sportsnet, he was surrounded by smaller guys, and he recognized that he had far and away the biggest head, but he joked that by coming back to Buffalo he'd only be 3rd or 4th on the rotation. Funny stuff. Quote
Robviously Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 And Brad May replacing him! We will easily have the toughest broadcasting team of all time. Quote

K-9 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 "The talent is there, it's the heart and the effort that's missing" - Andrew Peters. This is the first and last thing I heard when turning it on this morning. Well, I gotta disagree with Peters here. The talent isn't there. At least not enough. Not yet, anyway. And THAT takes the heart out of your team; when you KNOW, no matter how hard you try, you just aren't as good as the guy across from you. GO SABRES!!! Quote

darksabre Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Welp, hockey hotline just peaked. It's all downhill from here. Quote
darksabre Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Sly and Peters really pumping Mike Peca's tires as someone who could/should be coaching or managing a pro team. Intriguing that he's in the Junior Sabres system. Perhaps Pegula and Black keeping an eye on him? Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Maybe next in line for the Americans? Quote
darksabre Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Maybe next in line for the Americans? Could be. I mean, what team doesn't need more sexy facial scarring? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Marty was awesome. Although I also liked Peters in limited time before he was on the show permanently, so there's that. Quote
