apuszczalowski Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 For the love or god, stop putting these games in baseball stadiums. Only about 3% of the crowd can actually see the game.you believe people go to these games to actually watch them? I would think, especially with the Buffalo crowd, 90% are there to drink in public at an event. No One actually cares about the game going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one here, people were watching the game. The one at Wrigley, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 If only he could wear a mask like that.... oh man... I'm pretty sure there's nothing stopping him from doing it except his own will to see and not suffer things like broken cheek bones. I don't think those old masks are banned or anything.

I don't think those old masks are banned or anything. The league must approve goalie mask designs. Rule 11.8. I doubt it would approve that.

North Buffalo Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 if there was a way to add extra padding maybe but love the look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 if there was a way to add extra padding maybe but love the look! I'm sure they could paint an approved mask to resemble such but alas it would not be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) you believe people go to these games to actually watch them? I would think, especially with the Buffalo crowd, 90% are there to drink in public at an event. No One actually cares about the game going on I was at the first, and IMO best, Winter Classic, and it was great. And you could actually watch the game because (drum roll, cymbal crash) football stadiums have the correct layout for watching hockey.

PASabreFan Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 There doesn't seem to be a ton of enthusiasm among Sabre fans for this one. For obvious reasons, but there's also the outdoor game fatigue, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting around on a cold New Years afternoon watching sports and drinking beer just feels right. Tomorrow afternoon is going to be a nice sports day for me. Everton v Man United at 12:30, then Winter Classic at 1:00, then Georgia v Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl at 5:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Lots of pictures on social media of the Sabres practicing in their WC jerseys and taking a team photo. These REALLY need to be the new set. It's actually astonishing how much better they look in the correct shade of blue and with a stripe pattern that will actually show up on TV.

The jerseys are good, not great, on their own (actually, seeing them in person at Dick's, they looked better than online.) However, they work very well as part of the uniform.

Taro T Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Playing a home game in Queens has to be counted among the reasons. That's been a big part of it here. NBC choosing to mount the main camera on a drone was annoying as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they knew they'd be ticking off the traditional fan, but the idea of the game is to sell hockey to everyone else. I didn't hate it as much by the third period.
