Huh, that's pretty interesting, I can't see why they had such a dip in attendance that year other than not being such a good team. I'll concede your point.

But Floridas attendance is like 400-500 if you count only tickets that are paid for.

The offer sheet to Vanek by Lowe was a purely predatory move that was intended to hurt the Sabres even more when they were already cut and bleeding after the loss of B&D. It worked.

There was no good faith effort to obtain the player.

I would agree except the team that did it was Edmonton. They had zero to gain by it.

In 05/06 you could walk up to the box office and by a ticket on game day all the way up until after the Super Bowl.

I was shocked myself. Those were bad numbers and I'm not someone who can just recall the year and what may have been going on to explain why it happened.

Rex Ryan took a rookie QB to the AFC Championship and then again the following year.

As much as I gave up on them, you're like a 12 year old girl with you emotional out burst on your parents when it comes to your sports teams.

Just saying.

- dadeadhead

I'm thinking Rex gets this thing going this year. What he did with Sanchez and that defense was phenomenal.

Watched the first X Men movie last night. Hard to believe it came out in 2000. Wolverine is barely old enough to shave.

He was 31 in that movie.

It took 7 years for this fanbase to stop screaming about losing Drury and Briere in the same summer. 10 years later, even if they stopped talking about it, and even if it is understood now, the loss is still not forgiven.

If Golisano would have let Vanek walk, even in exchange for the 4 first rounders, there would have been torches and pitchforks in the streets of Buffalo.

Huge Jackson fan, or quick googled?
Btw Magneto and Gandolf had a pretty awesome run for Mr. Hurt. Still think his best role is in the first Alien. Tied w Blade Runner for best non Star Wars flick ever imo.

Quick guess as he's aroud the same age as my GF.

Is it even going to be the same actor? Thought I heard some movie (whether solo or Justice League type) wasn't going to have the same guy as either Flash or Arrow

Bankruptcy plus a team that was already trending downward. It was the 2nd season after Hasek left.

Ottawa was also bankrupt at the time but they had one of the better records in the league. I think they even had the top record in the conference by playoff time. Their attendance wasn't hurting.
