I would love to hear "Sell the Team" chants if he does show up

Why?

No game to thread yet? Pathetic.

To be clear, that was not a sleight at Sabres fans but rather the fact that the Sabres are so bad that nobody cares. Not even on Rayzor night

He’s probably in hospital after seeing those salary cap numbers the next 3 years😝

I gotta say... I love the saying in hospital.

Given his wife’s condition, I probably would refrain from making comments like this but maybe it’s just me.

IF he showed up, he wasn't on the ice for the ceremony nor was he announced to the crowd AFAIK.

Shame that they held the ceremony at 6PM on a weeknight.  (Yeah, Friday evening starts the weekend, but a lot of people had to go to work yesterday.  Tough ask to get off work at 5, get home, meet up with people you're going to the game with and get into your seat by 6PM.)  Though the building was sold out (or close to it) only about 1/2 of the seats were filled when the show began.

It was a nice ceremony.  Not spectacular, but nice.

Doug Allen singing the anthems 1/2 an hour later got as loud a roar as Rayzor got.  Though in fairness to Ray, the building was a lot fuller by then.

Glad the Sabres managed to find a way to squeak out a win for Ray's sake.

Terry and Kim were in a suite. They showed them briefly on TV during the Ray ceremony.

Danke.

From our seats in the building, can't see the owner's box as it is blocked by the Jumbo Jumbotron.  As mentioned, afaik they were never shown on the Jumbotron and if TP gave a tribute to Ray, personally missed it.  So, don't believe either was brought to the attention of the fans; but maybe they were very briefly.  (There were a lot of tributes to him at breaks and the intermissions.)

MSG aired Terry congratulating Rob before revealing his plaque on the HOF wall outside the lockerroom.

Obv. the team decided to eliminate any risk of Terry getting booed.

Pete Guelli didn't seem overly pleased about Rob's colorful language.

And now I’m here in hospital / A sad and sorry sight / and I curse the redback spider / on the toilet seat last night.

Terry and Kim are in attendance

Glad Kim could attend. She deserves cheers and joy for her recovery. And note that she is not CEO/Owner/President like Terry is. She is not responsible for any of this.

As to Terry, our owner is a coward hiding behind a Smithers and EEE, much as it grieves me that state it.

I'm glad he stayed in the box so as not take away from Ray’s celebration night.

No I didn’t see or hear the Pegulas being announced either.  They certainly didn’t have to but thought there would have been a video segment of the ownership congratulating Rob at some point.

Nobody is gonna blame her now bc of what she went through with her health but she's done plenty wrong with the Sabres too.

I feel bad for anyone having to deal with what his wife went through.  I'm sure it's changed his whole life.

agree here... as much as I hate what he has done with the direction of this team... something like that changes a man and perspective is looked at thru a different lense...  I always believed his intentions were good...  unfortunately painfully ineffective.  But the human element cannot be neglected here... when I see him he seems alone.  That being said it was good to see Kim out at the game.
