HumanSlinky39 Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Just played a good game and beat the hated Bruins, the Preds stink - yeah, this feels like one they blow a 2-0 lead and lose 5-3. Quote

Not because the owner doesn't deserve to be booed but because it would be unfair to Razor on his special day. 2 7 Quote

If the owner is booed because of his presence, it will become the storyline for the event. Going beyond Rob Ray as a hockey player and his post career involvement with the team, he has also been every involved in community activities that help people who need it. There is plenty of time to criticize the owner and the organization. There is a time and place. Expressing one's venom toward the incompetent owner at that particular event is not the right time to do so. And it should be noted that I am one of the harshest critics of the owner and his personally selected ill-equipped GM. 1 1 1 Quote

I hope they do a nice job for Rayzor and win the game too. 2 Quote
LabattBlue Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 The ceremony can be done with class without an appearance by either KA or Pegula. I don’t think Ray would be offended if Pegula isn’t standing there with his usual dorky clueless look on his face. Don’t get me wrong, if I was there, I would not boo dumb & dumber, but for those in attendance, do as you please, you paid to be there. 2 Quote

Expand I'm going to play devils advocate here....and I'm not saying I support this point of view, but just putting out out there of how people may think.... They might justify booing by saying....Pegula is never here. He hardly talks to the fans. Isn't avaiable for press. He is invisible to the fans and hides to not take any heat. If THIS night is the night he shows up, that is my only chance to boo him. If that takes away from Rob Ray's night...thant is on Pegula, not me for booing. In essense, if he shows up he's doing it this night as a way to 'hide' behind Rob Ray's moment. Again, I'm not a person who boos...but I can see those who would boo him as using the above as a justification. Edited January 31 by mjd1001 1 1 Quote

(for imposing on your big day)" <clap-clap, clapclapclap> "Fire Kevyn!" chant going -- so Ray isn't hurt. Ray will also completely understand if when he tries to speak, the crowd roars with delight and applause, but when Adams/Terry get announced or are talking there's a lot of booing and angst. Ray gets it. Edited January 31 by DarthEbriate 1 Quote
JustOneParade Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 I'm seeing the game will be broadcast on NHL Network. Can anyone confirm? If so, it won't be on ESPN+. (And, like me, SOL if you don't get NHL Network). Quote

OverPowerYou Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Is anyone here going? I want updates as to any booing Quote
Porous Five Hole Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 I saw a Sabres post on Facebook titled, “Before Rob Ray is inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame tonight, Terry Pegula unveiled his name in our hockey hallway. Forever enshrined with the Sabres greats.” So my guess is the team knows Terry will be a distraction and will show this on the video board. But that’s pure speculation on my part. It would be weird if the owner wasn’t there, but it also would not surprise me. Quote
LabattBlue Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Cackling Brian is in tip top shape to start the program. Quote

PerreaultForever Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Pretty much the only thing that could get me to care about this game is if one of the Sabres were to get into a scrap and they tossed off their jersey (fine be damned) just because. 1 Quote
