steveoath Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Yeah!!!! I am so psyched for this. Is there an official announcement due at any point? Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Ol' Bergie wishes he would've stayed with the team now, amirite? 1 1 Quote
Eleven Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 I think this is fantastic. @MODO Hockey gets to see his favorite team, even if he has to travel a little bit south, and we have one fewer certain loss to pay for here in Buffalo. 3 Quote
shrader Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Hmmmm, I can't quite figure out why they chose these two teams... 1 Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 I'd like to know who they play the following 3-4 games. Because if I remember correctly, teams that play overseas are in a funk the first 3-4 games back. Time change, jet lag, and all. Quote

Knowing the NHL, I'm sure they will schedule the Sabres to play Toronto, Boston, Washington and then Toronto again 1 1 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Could this also be an omen that Finnish star Rasmus Ristolainen won’t be a Sabres next fall? Quote

shrader Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Isn't Luke Adam our overseas scoring champion? Maybe he can dust off his Ruff-induced dented helmet and lace up the skates one last time. 1 1 Quote

I met the wife that year and I still blame her for all of this. 9 hours ago, Eleven said: I thought he was dead from that incident. ? edit: The actual end result is actually kind of funny. He lit up the score sheet in that game in Germany. And guess where he plays now? Germany. He's hockey's David Hasselhoff. Edited March 22, 2019 by shrader 1 Quote

steveoath Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 I have bookmarked the flights from Scotland. Tickets are apparently on sale next week from livenation.se 2 Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Sooo this would absolutely be something I travel to Sweden for.... I know it's a stretch, but is anyone here able to make it happen? Quote
Sabre1974 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 I would been heading across also but I'm heading to NYC in November for 2 games. 10 minutes ago, steveoath said: I have bookmarked the flights from Scotland.

Where are you flying from. You getting flights from Edinburgh?? Yeah. Edinburgh to NYO on Friday (can't make an earlier flight, so Friday game is out). Then Arlanda back to Edinburgh on the Sunday. Edited March 21, 2019 by steveoath Obviously this all hangs on getting tickets for the Saturday game. 1 Quote
kas23 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 This is a wonderful idea. This will help build the product, rather than the continuous dilutory expansion teams that are added. European kids can grow up seeing NHL games in person and build their dreams. Awesome idea. Quote

(sub $500) Sheraton just up the road ($173/night) Just need to know what tickets to the game cost. --------------- And yes, this announcement was enough to bring me back because we had discussed at the SS Meetup.

I would insist on you briningg your hockey stick though with the anticipation that swing them at each other wildly until one draws blood. Loser pays for drinks. ? 1 hour ago, LTS said: Yes.
