How do you feel about Sabres charging for NHL Draft?

[Stoner]

I'm torn between two that nobody else mentioned: Bjork and Loretta Lynn.

I did not care for her work on the bathroom bill. She was good on M*A*S*H though.

the Wilson sisters

My bad. It's late.

Debbie Harry, good call.

 

What, is everyone just scrolling past my posts tonight?

They got you on the Pay No Mind list.

I could not name a Gwen Stefani song if you put a gun to my head.  I literally know nothing about her other than some of you find her attractive.  Time for youtube I guess.

 

EDIT:  After watching four short clips of four videos, I will say that finally, I know the singer responsible for moving me from bars to home.  As soon as I hear that on the juke, I leave.

 

Thank you, Gwen, if I may call you Gwen, for getting me home safely all these years.

No love for the new women of rock? Lzzy Hale and the chicks from Lacuna Coil, among others?

This is me with most musicians. "Who? *listens to song* Oh, that's him/her? I know them!"

Ugh, bubble gum pop.  Might as well be Tiffany.  Wait--at least she was hot.

Huh?

Extremes are never good in either case. It's not 'this or that'

She taught me how to spell bananas

You silly bastages are forgetting Joan Jett, the one and only real chick rocker.

Joan Jett is awesome.

 

And I do like Taylor Swift

Commie or Bernie?

Eleven. Please.

 

No Doubt was a real, honest to goodness, ska influenced, L.A. band.

 

Remember "bands?" Bands are cool. No Doubt was cool. And their singer was weird and attractive, and had a uniquely powerful voice.

 

And yeah. There was some pop packaging of Gwen once the machine got hold of her. But Holla Back and Blow Your Mind are jeep bangers, not bubble gum.

You're not going to sway him. Eleven is the oldest young man I know. Now get off his lawn.

Isn't that the same thing these days?

 

Gwen's a brand. I just can't get past her voice. Sounds like cats fighting in the next yard.

So everyone who thinks it's a bad thing to charge is a socialist? Freeman, were you aware you're a socialist? You too Taro! Talk about a GoT-level plot twist!

 

I couldn't resist, seemed like you were "feelin the Bern"

 

Look, this is simple supply and demand, no different than ticket price increases, if there wasn't demand at $20/$30, they wouldn't charge it, nobody wants to see an empty arena.  It's not like they are asking $200/ticket or something outrageous.

 

I'm tired of everyone expecting something for nothing from our rich owner.

Could at least lower the price of beers for us.

I don't think there's a single poster here who doesn't understand the economics of it.

[LGR4GM]

As the Nhl broadcasts the draft they are making money. I would assume the Sabres get a portion of that money for hosting. It's not like they lose money hosting the draft.

[Georgia Blizzard]

That's something we can all agree on !! :w00t:

[WildCard]

No other team has charged, right? Yet they continue to lobby hosting it. That implies it's beneficial prior to ticket pricing 

[Randall Flagg]

I don't think anyone would mind them charging for the draft if other places did, but a vast majority of teams did not charge their fans, so the Sabres going against the grain to do so will obviously be met with some questions, especially when Terry can just drill another well if he needs to, in his words. That doesn't mean we're all socialists living off the nanny state.

 

Also the only political rant I've seen TrueBluePhD have was directed towards Bernie supporters :P

[WildCard]

GED*  ;)

[Randall Flagg]

GED* ;)

I forgot he did that, lol.

 

I just remembered something, didn't some poster actually get mad at IKnowPhysics for the cockiness of his username? Or do I have that wrong?

[jad1]

I'm tired of the NHL pushing these events to sun belt cities whose fans are barely interested in playoff hockey, much less some 'boring' event like the draft.

 

Maybe if its proven that 'hockey' cities can create revenue from events like the draft, the NHL will be less likely to stage these events in disintrested markets in a misguided effort to "grow" the game.

 

Drafts, all star games, outdoor games are all cool bonus events for cities to host, and it seems that Buffalo has been on the outside looking in when they have been awarded. They either lose out to larger or weaker markets.

 

By charging and delivering revenue, maybe the Sabres will catch the league's attention the next time they award an all star game, or schedule an outdoor event, or fix a draft lottery.

 

Anyway, if you disagree, kindly post a picture of Gwen. I've had a crush on that chick half my life.

Seems like just another money grab to me, but it's not coming out of my pocket so I don't care that much. If people want to go, they'll have to pony up the cash. If not, stay home and watch it on tv and tell them to pound sand.

Right? Bernie Bros are the worst. Do note, it's possible to support Sanders without being a Bernie Bro.

You need to direct me to this rant. Right now.
