Sabres unveil new video board they bought with the Skinner savings

[LGR4GM]

it's higher def going from 10mm between pixels to 4mm. It's about double the size of the old board. There's panels on the bottom so those up close in the lower bowl can see things too.

Title made me laugh,  I needed that.   Thanks.

Does it also fail to turn on for months at a time?

[Demoted]

Damn I was hoping for a new washing machine.

No, but it only works when number one line is on the ice and refuses to display any defensive stats.

It’s slow to start, and fails on the power play.

I want roof updates.

Uncontrollable audio feed?

Constantly behind the play?

I like where this thread went.

It's probably only 4k 

 

6k is chuckling in the locker room.

Open air stadium, no roof needed. Saves t-pegs more yacht money

Open mic night at Sabrespace going as expected 

[Mr Peabody]

Should be good for 30 goals.

Can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing 😂

Funny.

But actually one of the pulleys failed or a cable snapped (ottomh don't recall which it was; want to say pulley failure, but not positive) when they were raising the scoreboard back up into position and the sudden increase in load on the pulleys next to the failed one caused most of the rest to fail in a domino-like chain until very little of the scoreboard was still hanging where it should.

I’ll never forgot my dad telling me as a kid, “the scoreboard fell. But Hasek caught it.”

Both parts of the sentence seemed so absurd, I was so confused. That half of it was true was still pretty astounding at the time 

I think my follow up was, “did it happen during the game?” Haha

Scoreboard ran over budget so the roof is clay filler with 100 migrants on the roof with puddy knives.

Causes quite the backup on the Skyway.

We had tix to that game but weren't listening to GR nor WNSA on the way into town.  Stopped off at a Mighty to grab dinner and a few kids sitting at the table next to us were talking about how LaFontaine was dead and the game had been postponed because of it.  We brushed it off as sometimes kids have really weird senses of humor.  

But when we got downtown, traffic seemed REALLY light for a game night.  So we're wondering if those kids were actually serious.  Walked towards the rink and when we got about 1 block away a cop told us the game had been cancelled because the scoreboard crashed.  Managed to talk wifey into listening to the pregame when we went to the games after that.  😉 

Ended up going over to my cousin's house and watching whatever game Empire broadcast instead of the regularly scheduled Bruins game they were planning on showing.

It is SIGNIFICANTLY bigger than the old one.  Hoping it's not so large that it's distracting to those watching up in the nose bleeds.  Didn't head up there to check out the view of it from there.

There do seem to be more sound dampening panels up in the rafters near the new rood (but that could very well simply be due to noticing them now and not really noticing them in the past) but the speakers are still arranged in the same pattern as before.  So, am not overly hopeful that the accoustic issues in the barn have been adequately fixed.  (Need hearing protection in our section and people in the 200's claim they can't hear a thing there.)

They're going to hit it when they flip the puck out of the D zone. Dahlin will be the first.

Everyone is onboard now.
