Buffalo is also a blue collar town... so when you can sell your tickets for double to Laffs fans... thats what happens. LOL

And I RARELY get sunny days. Although we've had a pretty good stretch lately, highly unusual.

Fans just sell those tickets to pay for their center ice subscription. /s

That does drive me insane. But the fact that we're like 21-4-2 against the Leafs at home in the past 10 years helps

How did you get out?

I must know.




My wife doesn't want to leave. My choice I'm in Dallas or Phoenix.

Probably leaning more towards Phoenix.

I got out because I'm not from there, basically and I knew if I didn't I would die there.

But it came down to literally skipping town with a couple thousand and my Girlfriend, packing our car full of everything we owned and driving to WNY before even having an apartment lined up.

Stayed with my parents and looked for an apartment relentlessly for about a week.

It came down to Niagara Falls or Lockport and I rightfully said (frank) the Falls.

Lockport is nice. Typical suburb, blue-collar as (frank), not bad but not exceptional. Low-key and quaint. Ultimately though, too local. Worse nepotism than Binghamton, ironically. Actually. I've never encountered nepotism along the lines of Lockport. Its inner-bred.

Sabres fans are pound-for-pound the best American NHL fans, point blank, period.

We watch no matter who is playing.

Other cities are fans of their team, Buffalo is a hockey town

- jcragcrumple


Fixed.

Buffalo is a great NHL market, and a decent hockey market.

College hockey ratings are much higher in other parts of the country: Boston, Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc.

It's funny, because on his new album, he talks about people selling out and doing things for money, fame and popularity. He slams them.

And then has a song with Rihanna on the same album that's one of the worst abominations of sound I have ever heard and a clear sell-out moment.

Hopefully not the city of Lockport, cause that is not any better than the Falls.

College is 1 facet, but I believe our Olympic ratings are pretty stellar too. It would be interesting if we got a new empire sports network that showed local college hockey

I've lived in both, and would move back to Phoenix in a heartbeat.

The only issue is how far away the Arena is for games. If it actually moves to Scottsdale or downtown it will be immensely better.

I have a feeling it's too late.

But when I finish my MBA, I'm fairly certain my education will match my experience and surpass it really, so job offers will be a bit more money now.

Agreed. He's right up there with Biggie and Tupac now.

But that Rhianna song, oh my god, it was just awful.

I'm gonna chalk it up to the record company making him do it or him owing a favor.

The production alone was some of the worst I've heard. But the song didn't know what it wanted to be. Pop? Rock? Reggae? Rap? R&B? Dance? It was a mess.

After we had the discussion about him, I decided to give him another chance. And there's a few really good songs on this album

Listen to Good Kid Maad City. Fantastic album.

Cartoons and Cereal is his best song though, IMO.

I've been ready to go back for 20 years now. Still here.

Many reasons why I have not made the move back yet. But I do prefer the people there than the people here. Worlds different wouldn't you say Stripes?

Please do leave it. My GF was a student at BU and her entire persona improved as soon as she spent a couple months away from that area.
