Maybe you should read the full quote.
Buffalo Sabres’ goaltender Ryan Miller said via email,
“Now that we have games on the schedule we just need some fans. I know an apology doesn’t make it all better, but it’s a place to start. I’m sorry and I hope that fans will forgive us for the role we played in this lockout. We will show up ready to play if they want to come to the rink and watch.”
They could send out tix tomorrow and are printed like playoff tix. Home Game 1, home game 2, for maybe the first 5 home games. Once schedule is done (already is) and tickets printed, send the rest.
1) BOG meeting on Tuesday should end it.
2) I don't see final-final one for 4 months. Should be a list of changes after BOG meeting. They don't want to share anything until after "next of kin" is notified.
Other notes:
Players on a one-way contract who play in the AHL with a salary in excess of the NHL’s minimum salary plus $375,000 will have the excess amount charged against his team’s salary cap.
Also, trade deadline will be April 5th (tentative)
