Yeah. Pretty good atmosphere despite only having 7,800 people. The ones who did show up had a very good time.

Where did you sit? Pretty much anywhere you wanted...

The best part of the game is the atmosphere. The only people left are the die hards. Good feeling ....

Bryson looked good today too

Absolutely

Bryson is very fast. Excellent fluidity to his stride.

Next year add in peterka, samuelsson, power and possibly quinn.

I'm miserable because I think it's moronic to pay money for an entire season, up front, to watch the Sabres?

Donnie not coaching scared. Who does he put out to take the defensive zone face-off with 15 seconds left in regulation, in a tie game?

Tage "Not a Center" Thompson.

If it was, I missed it.

ā€œHNIC panel talking Eichel trades possibilities: Friedman mentioned that Colorado was involved but the #Sabres not wanting to retain any of Eichelā€™s salary was a big hurdle for a deal getting doneā€

Colorado was my dark horse team 6 months ago.

But retaining salary is nuts

$30 seats. $1250 per seat x 2 seats = sit anywhere.

Bill's ticket $1,100

Went with my kid, was priceless.....

Also, not your money to spendā˜ļø

Per Hockey Night in Canada. #Sabres won't retain any of Jack Eichel's salary in any deal. Talks with #VGK revolved around Krebs and Hague as part of a potential deal. #VGK not wanting to part with Krebs.

I still think we get 2 nhl ready players for eichel. Plus futures.
Eichel will not be traded for less. He can rot.

Friedman at the intermission says a major hurdle in an Eichel trade is that the Sabres are not willing to retain any salary, they are willing to take bad contracts on, but won't retain anything.
