I've been a daily pot smoker for a long time. It's 20% thc. there's much stronger out there but when you smoke as much as I do it does not matter once it's a certain level of quality. I don't get high even if I were to smoke moon rocks all day. I get to a certain mellow and that's where I am whether it's 20% or a 65% keef joint. Most pot heads hit that point. It's the equivalent of the functional drunk

You need to up those percentages.. tis why you don't get high.

they're using a community approach to backfill her duties. He is and will remain the GM for a long time.

The team is going to need to deliver on hope at some point in the somewhat near future for the above to be true, unless the owners are happy with a consistent cap floor to sub-cap floor team.

We have ST's. We routinely give them away at events. You can print them yourselves on a sheet of paper.

We also give them away to friends or family if we cannot attend.

Its 2022. Your not 12 again needing to keep every ticket with every different player displayed. (Something I did)

A Year goes by you find the stash look through them and throw em out.

Something Something environment

Couple good points, with printing out the tickets and giving them out.

Still like the hard copy presentation for gifts.

I have ticket stubs from when I was 12.
Pretty easy keepsake.

Definitely put the knights hard copy ticket into the pile.

That was an alltime buffalo event.
No matter how old you were, it was splendid

It's become a team effort by the way the Embedded videos (and really just how they act around each other). I don't know why you guys are fighting over the "I in team" when the team in and of itself doesn't believe in the philosophy...

It's very silly imo.

It's very very silly to act like KA isn't in charge of the show.

It's his team, he has the keys.

Even moreso.... the pegula's deserve credit for hiring kevyn Adam's.

Go pegulas!

I think they continue to loosen up the bridge bs.

It's fun having the Canadian Sabres fans around.

Both ends begind the net lowers were filled with Canadians for years. They pushed seats just over the border back in the day.

We just moved from 121 row 18 to 120 row 16 I believe. Same price full view of the ice instead of having the far right end cut off

They were glad to get to a game for a decent price


Unlike you know the Laffs or the Habs.... Great picture on their tickets but you pay double/triple the price

I just relocated to 122 aisle seats next to 123. Had been original seat owners, I was told.

Had row 6 for years, tough for everyone to see the other end of the rink

lol imagine being a multi billionaire owner (5th richest in the NHL) and having one group of fans criticizing another because they want a decent printed ticket when they already go to see an awful team, in the 2nd worst arena in the sport, and they know they're missing the playoffs again for an NHL record 12th time this season. With a healthy 19.6 million in cap space. And, the dolts criticizing have the ignorance to claim a renewable product that is made carbon negative throughout North America is hurting the environment. Meanwhile the owners also have a private mega yacht and a plane, which - i guess - run on solar panels.

What amazes me is "The Road to Serfdom" even applies to professional sports teams and their fanbases. Underrated book.

They generally lost money season in season out. Probably breaking even now.

I would be shocked if the Sabres are breaking even. Attendance is still not anywhere near it needs to be.

Well unless this is sarcasm, this a big contradiction to the pro Adams argument (which I'm not either, I really do think it's a community approach, and Adams is game manager so to speak. Which sound like a slight, but it's not, it's him surrounding himself with people smarter than he is in certain areas, listening to them, and using their input for the greater good. It's actually what real good leaders generally do).

My point is you can't say it's not Karmanos, it's Adams who deserves credit and not just for hiring him while also holding the position that it's not Adams, it's the Pegula's who deserve credit for hiring Adams.

Either way, I like Adams and what he's doing. If the Sabres are ever lucky enough to win a cup, and he's the GM, he'll be one of the first to hold the cup and rightfully earned.

That run late last year has a very serious danger of being fool's gold. First of all, that pace is largely unsustainable over an 82-game season. Secondly, despite that, they still finished nearly 30 points out of a playoff spot.

I've long held that if every major piece/prospect on this team meets expectations, which is a giant "if", you have a ceiling of a perennial Wild Card team. Sure, you'll be in the playoffs every year, maybe even back your way into the Conference Finals one year because the stars aligned, but a championship is never truly in the cards. Yes, I realize they have guys like Dahlin and Power on the back end, but even that just tells me your aiming to be the Nashville Predators of the mid-2000s, with Shea Weber and Ryan Suter: interesting to talk about every once in a while, but the entire body of work is largely underwhelming. I realize that a ten-year playoff drought will cause many to say "I'll take it", but I'm the opposite. If you're going to go a decade of missing the playoffs, and then decide to essentially take half of another one before you're going to do anything of real substance, the reward better be great, not just good.

- buffalofan19


So Kevyn Adams has to push all his chips in and make a playoff push this year because of a 10 year drought he had no part of ?

This is the first time since 2015 I am confident in the intermediate/long-term outlook of the franchise.

Only question I have is where the 1C is going to come from, however, 9/10 times that player is drafted and drafted high so trying to blow our wads to be this decades Minnesota doesn’t solve anything either

Think Adams was smart and put a lot of good hockey minds around him. They are collectively making what looks to be some good decisions. Next couple years will be huge in that decision process.
