The first 10,000,000 years were the worst.  The second 10,000,000 -- they were the worst too.  The third 10,000,000 -- I didn't enjoy at all.  After that, I went into a bit of a decline.

Addendum: zounds, that sounds a lot like being a Sabres fan this past decade...

@Eleven,

I think I missed all the sordid details, but I missed you more.

Welcome home, my friend.

I will answer the questions to the best of my ability at some point soon.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Okay ...

1.)  Either a dog show, or a basketball game ... I'm gonna say ... dog show

2.)  Tim (sorry, man that's not real coffee) Horton

3.)  2

4)  D ... Frankie was good.  Jerry too ... truckin' up to Buffalo ..........

5) There can be only 1 reasonable answer and it's the most dastardly Bruins (still waiting for the damn Sabres to avenge Brad Friggin' Park) with an honourable mention to the equally dastardly Flyers.

 

How'd I do, chief?

[Stoner]

Moral of the story: no one should personally attack people online, or anywhere.

3/5

According to Wikipedia, the first event at The Aud was a political rally for Wendell Willkie.  You can look to 0311's answers for the rest of the correct ones.

So, I got that one right, eh?

[SABRES 0311]

That was fun and educational.

Oh Mr. "I got most of them right..."

Nice job.  Seriously, I didn't think anyone would nail 4/5, even with the last one being a gimme.

I haven’t read The Hockey News in a long, long time. However, I do remember a comic strip in there that was in every issue. The one after the Jumbotron crash had the thing crumpled on the ice with Ted Nolan screaming into the sky, “YOU MISSED ME, MUCKLER!”

 

As for all of those name changes, maybe the next one should be Red Jacket Arena. Put in some local history instead of “corporate naming rights”.
