Huh?

Coincidentally, I think, Katherine McCarron just arrived back in town and she is as beautiful in person as she is on TV.

Has any decision been made? I’ll need to know soon if we are targeting specific game.

I appreciate the kind words but as I said before, it doesn’t have to be an either/ or thing. Pick a game, those of you who want my tickets, I will take care of, those of you who want to attend but don’t, can make your own arrangements. Maybe I’ll even make it this year!

I’ll need to know soon if there is a game you want me to grab for you. I should be able to guarantee at least 8 of our tickets. I think I can trade for more if need be. Same deal as last year, $90 per ticket if paid by August 14th, $100 after.

With Jordan you always have to be careful, a lot of his stories become the stuff of urban legend.

He played 22 games with 45. Legend has it that he always wanted to be 45 but it was his brother’s number do he divided 45 in half then converted 22.5 into 23. No idea if the 22 was significant because of that as well (22+23). Don’t remember story of 12.

Seriously, you can bring up Kobe and LeBron but not mention Jordan(23, 45 and 12)? I’m soooo old.

Sorry, but not all six of your top six have to be speed burners. Not one scouting report refers to Tage as slow. You have to play fast and you have to have a significant amount of speed burners but not all twenty of Vegas’ team were fast. Brayden McNabb was a top defenseman on that team and he might be as slow as any defenseman in the league.

Tage Thompson equals Michael Peca. Book it. Not same type of player, same type of initial fan reaction followed by year two fan reaction. And, by the way, he’s regarded as a pretty good skater, especially for a guy that big. FWIW, I want fast, quick and shifty as well but as with everything, you need some balance.

I hate when people do this. We saved a lot more then $150K. It’s not like they were going to get two players to play for free.

And one of Darcy’s Biggest Self Admitted mistakes drafting Ennis instead of John Carlson because he had already drafted Myers

Mike or Scott Wilson? I propose Bob Corkum and Tom Draper as Conference names

You sure? That they aren’t?

Coincidentally, my birthday as well.

OK, I have decided to renew my tickets and apparently we will have up to 16 tickets available. Tickets will be roughly $88 each if paid before August 15th, $100 afterwards. I would just like a rough count of who would be interested. I know there are a lot of unknowns at this point so I won't hold anyone to their initial commitment. Thank you for your interest.

Actually, I believe it’s pre-June 1st puts everything in 2018 which is clearly what they wanted.

This! And sometimes it’s not only fans. A good recruiter needs to know what the subject of his attention desires and then tailor their sales pitch towards that.

I have no idea if they make a play for JT but don’t discount the influence his uncle could have on the situation.

Look forward to having this conversation someday over a few beverages, hopefully as a topic right around the sixth drink shortly after discussing whether Dahlin really was better then Potvin, whether Eichel is the conversation as the third or fourth best Sabres ever and whether Pat Kane was the best trade deadline pick up ever.

The Predators? With Carrie Underwood married to Mike Fisher and half of country music st their games think Lindsey Vonn is a distraction??

First off, You know the season ticket waiting list was a sham. 10,000 people on the list but they still could not regularly sell out? Anyway, RB success with the Bills and their staying in Buffalo had little to do with attendance. The NFL could care less about the ticket buying public. That said, anyone that sat through 18,000 fans in a 80,000 seat stadium knows that filling that stadium is not a given. It was the multitude of revenue streams that Brandon was able to cultivate in this area and the progressive ideas that made the team a worthwhile investment to more then a few. The Sabres problems with their ticket buying public are more complex then I feel comfortable discussing here but I am confident that some of the ideas RB had for the arena experience would have put Buffalo in the forefront of the changes I think you will see nationwide as arenas and stadiums evolve into the next generation. Attendance issues are not just a Buffalo thing.

That's a fair point. However, i think she realizes she is being judged and her impact will effect more then her own legacy, but future opportunities for other woman going forward.

I still find it humorous how much Brandon is hated over here. He might be the single reason after RW that the team is still in Buffalo. Finance people were stunned when they saw the books upon commencement of the bidding process. He was positioned to be in the conversation for both baseball and football league executives. Unfortunately, he also had a taste for the ladies and didn't hide it. Anyone that frequented Giancarlo's or similar bars in the area, knew of his reputation. No tears shed, he will land on his feet in a less public position. All that being said, I think Kim will do a great job and look forward to some of her "outside the box" ideas for recreating the arena experience.

Svoboda and Virta would be a strong 2nd pairing in today's NHL.
