Can you tell the difference between a team that's uninspired and a team being stuffed in their own end?

Still many seats left for Fan Appreciation night vs Chicago. It would be nice to get one more full house. I plan to be there.

Sabres have climbed to 23rd place (10th pick) one point from 22nd.

Yes. Fort Erie resident.

***** ESPN is stuck again.

Tokarski grew tree roots. No lateral movement.

Did the ESPN+ feed die?

The Sabres have become a dangerous team.

Slow to respond. Thought he got bumped but replay doesn't show that.

If you sell the team you run the risk of the team leaving.

I actually doubt the Sabres will ever get back to full capacity on a regular basis. And it has less to do with the last ten years. I think the market, in general, doesn't want to spend money on sports anymore. Tickets are expensive. Concessions are expensive. And people here have stopped caring enough to empty their wallets. Even for the Bills. We are the best team in the NFL and we didn't sell out every game. This idea will go over like a lead balloon. But if I owned the Sabres, instead of pouring money into KBC, I would consider building a brand new arena in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Closer to fans that value hockey more, but close enough for Buffalo area fans to get to games. Any evidence of that other than a tweet?

I'm shocked we weren't last.

I became a fan of the old AHL "Pepsi cap" Bisons in 1968. Got to go to a few games in 1969, their final year when they went out as Calder Cup champs. Guy Trottier set the AHL goal scoring record with 55. Giles Villemure was the goalie with 8 shutouts. Terry Crisp, who is now a Preds color analyst, was on that team. Fred Shero was the coach. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0002311970.html

Impossible to do in most of Fenway. And any seat with upgraded room is priced accordingly. I do have a hack when I go to Sox games. I go on StubHub an hour before games and write down what decent seats are still for sale. Then I buy the cheapest ticket I can find. Once I'm in the park, I walk around and see which of those StubHub seats are still empty and swoop in. Works about 75% of the time.

I don't believe Anderson will come back. I think he will retire and he will announce such at the end of the season so KA can get to work immediately finding his replacement.

Really depends. They use dynamic pricing. So a mid-week game against the Angels you can get standing room for $11 or bleacher seating for $16. But if you want to sit between 1st and 3rd bases you are looking at between $100-200. A weekend Yankees game? You can't set foot in the park for less that $100. Keep in mind in 1912 when Fenway was built, people must have been on average 4ft tall. If you are taller than 6ft (as I am) you cannot even get your legs in grandstand seat. I have to either stand or sit in a roomier box seat.

We have a Double-A Eastern League team here, the NH Fishercats. Nice stadium with a couple of restaurants in the outfield. Always a pleasant evening. Sometimes I make the drive to Worcester to see the Sox triple-A team the Woo Sox. Polar Park is probably the best minor league ballpark anywhere. Then there's always the Red Sox if I wanna fork over $$$$.

From October 1 to 31 the Sabres were 5-2-1. .688 points% 8th in the NHL. 113-point pace. From November 1 to February 28 the Sabres were 11-28-7. .315 points% 32nd in the NHL. 51-point pace. Since March 1 the Sabres are 14-8-3. .620 points% 12th in the NHL. 102-point pace.

Remember when the Bills brought back Marv Levy to be GM?

Same here. It's going to be a drag without Sabres games to look forward to.

I was taking about the Leafs, but you make good points too.

Playoff ready.
