oh yeah someone posted your picture last week

I figured the nautical flourish would dovetail with the team name. Needs more epaulets I think

It's such a strange situation. I don't know what to make of it. Neglect the arena for what feels like a decade and try to get a new one during/right after after a stadium?
- Lunaion

It's calculated neglect. They put almost no money into the arena and then say "See! This place is a dump. We can't possibly continue to play here." And then we buy them a new arena.

Just don't see the Pegulas, county, or state having the willingness to pay for an arena right on the back of a stadium. Strange game, feels like everyone loses.

Interesting read in regards to how the Sabres feel about handed-ness

Take 30 standing points away and they’re still a 105 point team.

Did we not learn our lesson predicting their demise like every year for the past 3 years?

Or fücking Tom Brady's

I'm still half expecting him to run out of the tunnel for the Raiders week 1 and throw for 5000 yards this year. Remember when he was "done" in like 2012?

Worry about yourself, not what others are doing. If you're hoping for someone else to fail you're the one who's failed.

Even worse is trying to time it so you wait for others to fail before fully trying.

Good Read!! Thanks

I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling but not putting playoff expectations on this team is so laughable I absolutely pray you’re trolling
- sbroads24

Not trolling....

Just saying : when terry hired KA and company, the window may have been 2024-25.

The Sabres super overachieved last season.

You are a fan and aren't looking at the process the same way as the team management. Me either, just an opinion I'm throwing out there.

Having this team be competitive and peak around the time that the the lease expires , is basic business sense.

Good for making a decision on selling too.

Woudlnt a new arena be awesome?

I've had seasons to the Bill's for 11 years and sat thru some really lean years.

300 level Sabres tix since 2014.

We are the tax payers, we'll enjoy the stadiums.

Paying and never attending a game sucks. It's like paying school tax and not having kids.

I get what you are saying, but I hate the fact that we have to pay for these arenas. Hopefully something is done at the federal level at some point to stop it. Anyway....

I used to get minipacks but stopped once the kids came along. This upcoming season is going to be the first time in more than a decade that I'll be having them again. I am still not a huge fan of going to the games, but I expect to be in the playoffs this year so I want to get able to buy tickets when the time comes

Just ordered my wife one of those exact ones . And just bought their Beer pint for myself

Big picture:

Sabres divison is very difficult.
Florida went to the cup
Bruins set an alltime record
Tampa won 2 just 2 years ago
Toronto sorta got the money off their back.
Ottawa is spending capital and $ (foolishly)

It's a wild card spot realistically IMO.

same two weeks ago

Travis Yost stopped freelancing at TBN (remember that?) cause of (frank)ing Harrington. What a loser. No one who actually knows him has anything good to say about the guy. I personally know someone who worked with him for a long time and he pretty much repeated everything Tim Graham ever said about him publicly.

This comes as no surprise to anyone.

I love to go out prior to the games downtown for dinner. It's really a fun night out, especially when/if were good again.

Smart move getting in line for playoff tickets.

Probably $200- 250 minimum for the 1st home game , to walk in the building.

Should have purged him with bucky and sully

I honestly cannot figure out why he’s still around

The only time I came close to defending him (I wasn’t) was when he shoed a kid away from a media scrum. People acted like he should be brought up on charges. It was a stupid Harrington-like thing to do but people acted like he beat the kids ass

the optics were atrocious there. the explanation was fine by Banderas but MH never deserves the benefit of the doubt.

I *can't* believe Lance isn't out there defending his co-worker.

I had season for the Bills (twice) and the Sabres once. I like going to maybe 1 Bills game and same maybe a few of the Sabres. I would rather go to a bar or sit in my Theater room with my HD projector, Surround sound and 12ft screen (and Kegerator close by) a hell of a lot cheaper and the commute home is a shat ton faster

I just plain hate the views and lack of commentary.

he'd never torch him, defending him would cost him a lot so here we are, being silent as a church whore
