a friend of mine changed the security settings, so (for now) I can't view vids...therefore...

just fuggedaboutit

I would have to think this thing sells out, or gets pretty close, with probably a majority of ticket buyers coming from Canada.

You people make delicious wings. I thank you.

New Bills article on BN:

There have been three nonbinding bids for the Buffalo Bills, according to Forbes magazine, and Sabres owner Terry Pegula’s bid of $890 million is the highest.

The Forbes report, citing sources familiar with the sale of the Bills franchise, indicates the Toronto group including Larry Tanenbaum, Jon Bon Jovi and Ed Rogers bid $820 million and Donald Trump’s bid was $809 million.

Reports of the North of $1 billion bids have been greatly exaggerated?

Did you see the article that said the Cowboys were worth $3.2 billion?

2nd in the world only to Real Madrid.

What if he's injured that day and can;t play?

Then it probably still outdraws the Canisius-St. Bonaventure/UB-Niagara basketball double header there about a month later.

I'm hearing there's special pricing for Season Ticket Holders. Anyone know any more about this?

Come on man, it's $15.

The 6'0" 185 lb. McDavid had 99 points in 56 games for the Otters last season and has been drawing "once in a generation" comparisons to Sidney Crosby.
- Michael Pachla

Out of genuine curiosity, what's everyone's definition of "generation?" Shouldn't it be at least 18 years?

Well, at least the first 3 picks aren't in the lottery until '16. Really, the discussion within the league of change to the system began after the Oilers snagged the #1 3x consecutive.
But, cheer up. You might end up getting both McDavid & Eichel next June, so that's something to look forward to.

Come on man, it's $15.

Well, being that I already spend enough money on my season tickets, if I can save a few bucks, why not. Personally, I don't like to throw away money if it's not necessary. But, if you have so much, feel free to make a donation.

I hear you, but I don't know what Sabres season tix are like, but I pay about $3700 for 2 Flyers seats, so +/-$15 won't kill me. Maybe you can just sacrifice eating out once during the year and allocate that money+ to the game. Or maybe you can sell a few of your Sabres tix, and have money for the Otters game and then some. But if a discount from $15 to $12 or $10 is the difference for you, go for it. If you really need the extra $2 or $3 to make ends meet, then I would gladly donate it to you.

It's not a matter of making ends meet. It's more a matter of the benefit of having season tickets. I might as well take advantage of the things they offer to us. That's the point of it.

I'll pass. Those that I'd be ok with hanging out with from here, I've already met. So I'm good. Plus, I have plenty of friends to go with. Don't need anymore.
