This should be the intro. to every Sabres game and the Knights stole it

[Stoner]

So obvious. So obvious somehow it didn't occur to the college interns who do Sabres game presentation that it would be so, so spectacular.

There's no need to take a sh1t on the Sabres game-production people in order to admire what Vegas did.

 

Far as I know, NO ONE in the NHL has been going where Vegas goes with their in-game stuff.

 

The production talent and experience that Vegas has in their region -- in a very concentrated manner -- are probably unmatched in any pro sports market. (I know, I know -- LA and NYC -- but those are *big* places.)

Have you finished wiping yet from all the shits you've taken on them? My God, the hypocrisy on this board can be stunning at times.

I do try to get in a good, full wipe after every sh1t. And I don't resort to those sewer-busting manly wipe cloths either.

 

And, yes, I have all sorts of problems and gripes with the Sabres' production capabilities. But Vegas is doing things that 30 other NHL teams have never done. I'm looking for the Sabres to become competent, not (yet) trend-setting.

 

Baby steps. Not baby wipes.

[darksabre]

If the Sabres tried to do this stuff they'd get laughed at. We suck too much to have this much fun.

Meh.  Kind of dorky.

Way over the top, too.

AND FUN!

 

The U-12 set in my house loved it when they watched it before school today.

[LTS]

What Vegas did worked because it was Vegas....

 

It's almost uniquely Vegas.

 

I'm not sure that would work ANYWHERE else, let alone Buffalo.  I might accept NYC as a possibility.  No where else is really known for their "shows".  

 

For what its worth, I rather like the EA Sports NHL intros the Sabres manage to pull together.  For a playoff game however.. I would expect a serious escalation.

Hey if the did something with two Samurai warriors with actual Sabres it could work. Bring a Buffalo in on a stage and use recorded Buffalo grunt sounds as the Sabres came out might work.

Or, you know, just put a good team on the ice that's fun to watch... and more organ music and Sabredance.

[North Buffalo]

That could work but like the Sabres this year... he is dead.

Was watching this season intro, oh man bunch of sad looking guys and they still have to start the 1st home game  :blink:

<pushes up nerd glasses> I believe you mean katanas  :angel:  <removes glasses, dons helmet> But I think light sabers sabres would work just as well.

This. This. A thousand times this. During the intros you can add some good lighting and maybe overlay a bit of that bass drone if you're absolutely worried people won't buzz, and then let an exciting team and good game of hockey carry you on.

[Chilly]

I've seen a Vegas Golden Knights game. The on ice production is absolutely incredible. Love what that team is doing.

You have it two ice dancers dressed up as Samurais ice dancing, like Russian dancing..bring out a bear for the bruins that can play dead!

Only when the Isles are in town? (Obscure Wang joke.) The first part is pretty good. Not sure about the buffalo. Am I crazy or did the Bills have one on the sideline a long time ago (maybe Rockpile days)?

Again the first part is great. Remember that Sabre Dance was composed by a Russian. But, again with the wild beast!

 

Everyone should remember their Sabre history. The very first home game (and the entire first season at home, I think) featured a young woman figure skater who tossed a sabre into the opposition net before the opening faceoff. Sundae Bafo. It's been all downhill since then.

 

Please note the obvious displeasure being shown by Chet and Muffy's grandparents!
