For the followers who regularly go to Sabres games, how legitimate are the attendance numbers to what it appears on television?
Every game I watch, and every game seems to be well below the announced attendance.
I live in Boston, and will attend the game tonight, will be a ton of Northeastern Huskies and Devon Levi fans sprinkled in with the Mbumhole Bruins contingent

Boss you tried to ban people who questioned the phenom. You had a summer of absolute bat sh*t plans that required clinically insane justifications.

Perry would be a great value add to this team, still. You need to get better at creative banter or just stick to being the perky townie who proudly throws his hard earned money at failing sports teams.

Perry has problems off the ice, how would that help the current state of the Sabres?


Sure, Levi didn’t pan out, I was extremely impressed with his small sample size last season

Luke Hughes doesn't seem to have any issues, why Owen Power does ?

Another strike against Kevyn's offseason, as his naivety again causes problems.

There's nothing wrong with believing in Levi. There is something wrong in hanging your hat on a 21 y/o goalie fresh out of the NCAA.

Games have super weak crowds except the opener and thanksgiving’s game

Only 2 sellouts

The clubs for Nashville, seats were $152 each for the corners .

Lower mid ice $125 each

I paid for 300’s and picked great seats .


Who’s pairing $600 for 4 club seats?


It’s a really hard sell, Nashville / Sunday night/ Lower’s playing hockey

Obviously upl was the back up plan, working out pretty decent

Most wanted a vet goalie every post this summer

Upl has arguably been our mvp

Half the reason I watch Amerks games is because I have the opportunity to actually enjoy hockey.

The other half is to watch Levi, Kulich and the russians.

Seriously the ticket prices on Ticketmaster are ridiculous

Who would think it would cost $600+ for 4 people to watch to crappy teams in the clubs

Sabres killed the mojo for sure , but cost is ridiculous

This is what pisses everyone off:

Words: "Our playoff window is open"
Facts: Goalie play was bad this season and so was the play in front of them
Assumption: UPL and Levi will be good (enough)

I think the official announced number is tickets sold or distributed. It's not a count of how many people actually bothered to show up.

A few months in, a vet + UPL was the best option, right?

Bill Guerin did something about his losing team

Even Ken (frank)ing Holland did something about his losing team

Both with vocalized playoff expectations

Kevyn goddamn Adams says "job well done" after acquiring short term help on the god damn penalty kill.
