That's accurate.

Edit: how much better was he than Jon Toews?

- lacaprup


Toews was a wizard for a few of those seasons in that same time frame, however Datsyuk was elite from start to finish.

Even his age 36 season when left for the KHL looked like this

So you pay 20% of what the ticket costs this year but you don't get to use the seats?
- Hank Balling


Yes, so basically my 10 seats = 15,800

I can push all of them for 3,160 / 20%
I believe it stays on your account until you make a decision in February ,for next season.
I asked for clarity on a "refund" from the credit. If I want out completely. Very unlikely for me but....
Waiting for an answer....



Some sth'ers optioned to let the Sabres retain the remainder of the 2019 cancelled season for a bonus of $100 in Sabres bucks. So they have 1,000 on each of my accounts.

I'm deciding between keeping a cheap pair. My life manager uncle ion suggested yesterday, pay the deposit and just buy 30 games on stubhub. He's usually right.

Opened up my annual southwest points credit , and was hoping to almost hit the $3,000 minimum immediately.

Have they told you what's happening next year?

I'm a Leafs season ticket holder, and they've been incredibly quiet.

They asked us what we wanted to do with our remaining money from the 2019-2020 season. I told them to hang on to it.

They then asked for a deposit on the 2021-22 season, which was less than the money I still had on account. They said that further details would come as soon as they figured out what they were going to do.

And then radio silence.

Which I'm not actually complaining about, as they still don't know what the rules are going to be for crowds in an arena.

I'm just wondering if other teams have announced their plans yet.

- Atomic Wedgie


After years of complaining about not having an actual ticket rep, like the buffalo Bill's:

They sent me an email stating 20% down to PAUSE season tickets until next season.

Not sure if its refundable, but it punts the decision until February. I'm not to worried, because I'm hoping to keep a pair at least for the foreseeable future.

Nice bonus to have the roll over $.

Please keep me posted, I'm curious about the leafs policy

I have plenty of cousins / nephews/ employees that I give seats too.

1-8 up in the 300's. Great seats. Row 3.best in the arena for the price. And a Pair down low.

On stubhub , finding 5- 8 great tickets together is near impossible. The leafs games/ bruins especially at Christmas sell for ridiculous amounts of money.

I'll sell 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or all 8

Example :
Pair: 30 each - buyer has choice in the arena
3 seats together 40 each
4 seats together 30 each choice of arena
5 seats together 40-45
6 seats together 45-50
7 seats together 45-60
8 seats together 55-60

Of course 8 tickets vs arizona on Tuesday in march are given to family . 0 value.

It becomes hard to even give seats away, but friday or Saturday games vs. Bruins, habs, leafs, nyr or Pittsburgh
Sell for big bucks early on...

Fun to bring the family during the 10 game winning streak....

Ror is going to have back issues, he'll be washed up in a few years. Ror is an average player/ fine player

πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Why does everyone get a free "bad season" under your guy ralphie, but eakins.... it's all on him.

Seems very broads like

- Boss34

Because Eakin (no s at the end) has been terrible all his career

You were bang on though about Adams being 7/7 in the offseason

Where did the Sabres finish again? Playoffs right?

So is it fair to say it’s between Anaheim and New York for Eichel then judging by IB’s cryptic tweets ?

Maybe Calgary and Vegas are out

22 goals in 2018-19
21 non powerplay goals, including 3 short handed.
Average ice time 15:23 a game
Good playoff experience.


How again is this terrible? All his career?

It's fun to debate with you but, please explain how his entire career was terrible?

Almost everyone had a problem performing under your guy Ralph, why is it different for eakin (s)?

You used the ralph excuse to slob all.over skimmer1000% all season.
Dahlin too

I liked larsson, but eakin seemed like he had a goal production higher ceiling.

I'm sure your finding tons of your embarrassing takes while finding a few of mine. ☝️☝️☝️


3 of these for you ☝️☝️☝️

Not really.

It looks like I was pretty dead on correct about most of this team this year, while you had bad take after bad take after bad take

We could go on and on and on

Taylor Hall sucks remember? Remember it was hilarious to you I thought he was really good still?

PPG player for Boston, 40 goal 80 point pace.

But you liked Cody Eakin. That grit and can do attitude. You absolutely nailed it. 7 for 7.

But hey, you could keep living in the past of 4-5 years ago for my ROR/Tyler Myers takes if you want

I'm not sure why your going after to me, I guess that's fine. Deflecting at its finest.

22 goals in 1 season is not a terrible thru out his career.

You have seriously had the worst takes on here

1) broads24
2) mental organism

Really, 40 goal pace 80 points for Boston for Hall is the
Best example of you "being right"

You're really struggling.....☝️

Did you want to resign hall? Of course you did.....

Is this analysis similar to saying Girgensons scored at the same rate his draft year as Cozens?

So the Rangers make other teams weaker while not being a contender themselves? I guess we can't ask for more from an opposing team. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Pretty easy. You out of nowhere, made a comment how Owen Power will suck because I like him

You and that other moron who liked the teams worst player (Cody Eakin in case you forgot) like to make things personal

So I'd figure I'd remind you how brain dead your takes have been too

7/7 man. Nailed the offseason

You were like the Sabres of Hockeybuzz. In last place

Or you won the Stanley Cup of bad takes.

Either analogy fits

Remember when you jizzed over Nick Foligno

How'd that leadership work out for the team who blew the 3-1 series lead again.

Man, you should never talk about anyone struggling again
