I still don’t understand to this day how they could not sign him to the contract just absolutely ridiculous what we could’ve accomplished

And then they think it’s all right to give him the same offer that they said no to Smh

On Briere, say it with me: serious health concerns, at the time.

Rodrigues is legit.

Rodriguez did have Kane breaking in OT and failed to get him the pass though. That turnover directly led to the goal

Too bad we could not go back, let Vanek go to Edmonton and get their next 4 first rounders, use the money saved to re-sign Briere and Drury, expend a couple of the spare firsts to land us some big time D to support Miller. Be we would have won a Cup by 2010

Season ticket price $57 each.

Good deal

- Boss34


if season tickets price is $57, aren't they going on stubhub for around $6?

I paid $11/seat on Stubhub when we played the Islanders. Row 11 behind the net.

Hot take: Radiohead is one of the most overrated bands of all time. Garbage band
- chilliard77


That take could not be more ice cold if you if it was buried 1000 feet beneath the arctic circle, but to each their own I guess.

No, it was four firsts. Darcy was a (frank)ing idiot for not letting him walk. I was so pissed when i heard he didnt. His whole stance was that he wasnt going to sign guys for more money and term than they were worth.... Lets drury and briere walk and then matched the edmonton offer on vanek to save face (which is ass backwards at that point.). He lost all credibility in my book with that move.

Cold take as in that opinion is one that a fool holds. How's that for clarity?

You must also think The Boxer Rebellion sucks as well judging by your 'frozen take'.

"Garbage" is obviously an exaggeration. More like painfully average and terribly overrated.

And some of their better songs are rip offs

Yeah i was gonna say $60 is not that great of a deal. I sat first row behind the bench with my son on the aisle where they come out, 2 pucks, a broken stick, and a couple autos and many high fives for $30 a ticket.

Yes, they were sold to season ticket holders 100 LEVEL III at a price of $57 per ticket x 40 home games. Plus 1/2 x 3 preseason games.

Now stub hub has some seats for $6 each.
Probably not the 100 level. But you can move down.

I'm not complaining, because I could turn them in, I'm not being forced to renew. I'll keep them. I generally try and give my extra tickets to my nephews and friends. Except the top $ games. The constant hope for a break thru season.

As low as the prices tickets have fallen on the secondary market, when/if the sabres are good: the prices will be equally high.

Everyone will complain about the season ticket holders being greedy, when we try and re coup the tank years $

Being a season ticket holder is like being a small business owner to some degree. There's work involved, especially when we continue to lose early and often.

If we match up against Boston, ny, Toronto, habs ect. The tickets will be unbearably expensive to the general public.
7 years and counting without the playoffs.

Yeah pretty much all of 300s are listed for $6 and still not selling. 100s go for 10-25 and 200s around 40. All the Sabres pages on Facebook have people giving away 100 levels to every game for free. Then the crazies asking 75-100 per ticket

It was a dumb move signing vanek, but the sabres had too.
The fan base would have even been more angry.

Vanek was making Ror $ - 12 years ago.
Close anyways

Customer of mine sits 7 rows up in the 100’s. His season ticket price is 57 x 2 so 114 per game. He went to the game the other day and got talking to the guy next to him. He asked if he got the tickets from “Bob”. Kid replied no paid 8 bucks on stub hub.

So yes you are seeing tickets that low.

Tuesday games are the bargain

i booked surfing lessons when i was in LA but chickened out when the instructor texted me that it was very rough conditions and he recommended strong ocean swimmers
- robz228


Lol TBH I thought it was going to be so easy and when I first did it without a instructor I smashed my head up and almost knocked myself out it's scary as (frank) but once you get the hang of it it's absolutely incredible

I mean even Saturday games are maxing out at $40 for 100s and still not selling. My buddy is 116 row 12 center ice. He offers me every single game.

Been to about 15 games this year with my son for a total of maybe $150 all 100s most on the glass.

That's gonna cause some people to turn in their seats.

I almost wonder if the sabres want some good seats back in their hands. Especially before we become good again? Then they can charge top $, instead of stub hub taking a clip.

We can't possibly be this bad forever. They spend tons of money on marketing and studies.

The lockout looming, the building needs some upgrades.
Sabres really need to take care of their fan base.
