I don't think that's true. Those names were around until 1994. One can do the math.

@Brawndo Does the lack of a symptomatic response to the vaccine suggest it's not revving up my immune system? I have concerns due to being on Methotrexate (low dose), which I held last week and plan on continuing to hold until two weeks after my second dose (my idea based on research; pulmonologist said he doubted it would help my immune system respond to the vaccine).

I can see The Buffalo News, for example, refusing to give Scotia free advertising by blaring, "SABRES WIN SCOTIA NORTH!" in a banner headline. OTOH they've always printed the corporate names of the arena, I think. (But wasn't there some issue with "the downtown baseball stadium"?)

Got my first jab yesterday. Masterful poke, not a stitch of pain. Very slight soreness developed in my arm late in the day and I still have it. I have to decide to feel the discomfort, it's so slight. I feel perfectly normal so far and don't expect any issues at this point. If you have any concerns about the shot being painful or the soreness being unbearable, put them out of your mind. (Of course YRMV.)

Important figure in team history. Along with Smilin' Ger he was the bridge who brought the Sabres out of a decade of mediocrity and into a new millennium where Cups were at hand. Before the Pegulas we always had hope as Sabres fans — probably except for that immediate post-Bowman period. Now, after the last 10 years, maybe we're on the verge of re-appearing. We shall see.

Ask Stu! How could you not save something like? You coach the team, Mike!

It's the totality, bro.

Great. Now we're debating US-Canada immigration policy vis a vis Covid. And we're all experts. Can we work in some analytics to make it an even more awesome discussion. ArJéMCOR = Rick's Modified Chance of Re-entry. Am guessing it's c. 75-77% (weekday only). As ink said: HOCKEY!!!!!!!!

Why are you opposed to electric outlets?

Almost forgot — Happy New Year to my annoying, dysfunctional and I-can't-quit-you Internet family.

January's on track to be a helluva kickstart to 2021. I am incredibly lucky to be getting my vaccine doses starting on Monday. Right place, right time for a modern miracle of science and medicine. Rick calling Jack and the boys. Although it doesn't mean 1% of what it used to, the Bills in the playoffs. And, oh yeah, a second virus eradicted from my life when that other thing happens. Not bad a'tall! Please, if you have a chance and are medically cleared to do so, get vaccinated.

@SDS All I've come up with so far is to replace KeyBank Center with The Pavilion. Or... Perry Street? Main Street? The Plaza? Entry/meeting points. Could the Clubs be Corridor Clubs? Speaking of clubs, I know that Clubs are under The Aud Club, but could they also be listed under Forums along with The Aud Club?

This Bills lover won't be watching them in the playoffs. https://wesb.com/2020/12/30/special-olympics-gold-medalist-charles-barr-has-passed-away/

In a nod to the buffalo eye/goathead, why not red instead of green?

Thanks, SDS. I'll be interested in seeing what you come up with for us sensitive folks, but I'll probably just go with the light mode. The reduced brightness is another good option. As for naming ideas, I take it you're trying to find a new overarching title for the forums. Is KeyBank Center just a placeholder? I'll start with a possibly bold idea. Do we need forums in addition to The Aud Club? Could NHL Message Boards, Tickets and Gear, and Customer Service be eliminated and those topics be allowed in The Aud Club? They are lightly used, and I bet most posters don't even know they exist. That eliminates the KeyBank Center level. I've also always thought our site is a primarily a message board, and that message board is known as SabreSpace. So could sabrespace.com open to the forum page instead of the news links? Then for the desktop version have news links at the top of the sidebar? I wonder how many people come directly to the forum anyway and are unaware of the incredible portal Dallas gives us on a daily basis. No one calls this place The Aud Club. And Aud Clubs would be a good name for the club forums. I feel like I'm telling someone who's about to hang up their house numbers that they should move the house 30 feet to the south and take out the third floor.

Not sure how Doc Emrick worked the playoffs, but he was running at about 65% Doc. Rick's going to need a lot of help. If he's in his living room with his own TV, it's going to be a tough haul. Maybe the director will finally let us see faceoffs?

Any news on Rick's situation this season? Assuming that the broadcasters won't travel with the team (maybe not a good assumption), will he do games from home or come to a studio in Buffalo? Or will the Sabres set him up in a studio on his side of the border? Since travel has been Rick's bugaboo for many years, would being able to stay at home, or having to come only to Buffalo, mean he'll do more games? Unless he has some kind of super duper video setup, I feel like this new way of calling games could be trouble for him. See also: Doc Emrick during the playoffs. If done well and smartly, though, this could turn back the clock a decade or two for RJ. (For the love of God, have some bubbles with names in them appear over the players as they touch the puck!)

Yes. I'm working on it, boss.

Same here. I'd love to know the age breakdown of theme users.

I'm not disappointed.

SHAY or SHEE?
