GDT: Sabres at Montreal 12:30pm, MSG (and SN for hosers), WGR
PromoTheRobot replied to Eleven's topic in The Aud Club
I would have made the 4 hour trek there if they were letting fans in. -
You just had the Super Bowl favorite Bills struggle to fill a stadium for a home playoff game, and only managed to do it when resale tickets fell to $25. So I'm not ready to accept your premise. 1.2MM people is not enough of a base to support an NHL team. Especially a base that is relatively poor. You need those half a million Canadian fans who can cross the border on a weeknight to attend a game. I'm telling you, this border crap is going to sink the Sabres, whether they are good or not, if it doesn't get resolved in the next two years.

From Wikipedia: "In September 2019, Tsai became the owner of the Brooklyn Nets of the NBA and chairman of Barclays Center. He initially invested in the NBA team in October 2017, purchasing a 49% stake in the Nets from Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov in a deal that valued the team at $2.3 billion, with the option to buy the remaining stake of the team no later than 2021.[20][21][22] Tsai exercised that option in August 2019, and at the same time, bought the Nets' arena from Prokhorov for nearly $1 billion in a separate deal.[23] Tsai's ownership in the Nets includes the Long Island Nets of the NBA G League and the Nets Gaming Crew of the NBA 2K League. In January 2019, Tsai headed a group that bought the WNBA's New York Liberty from The Madison Square Garden Company.[24] He owns the San Diego Seals, a professional box lacrosse team in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). On May 26, 2021 The NLL announced Tsai would be the owner of the new Las Vegas franchise.[25] He is also chairman of J Tsai Sports. Through that company, he has investments in the upstart field lacrosse league, the Premier Lacrosse League and several sports media and technology companies based in North America and Asia. Tsai made his investment in the Premier Lacrosse League in February 2019, along with The Chernin Group and The Raine Group, helping fund the new lacrosse league founded by lacrosse player Paul Rabil and his brother Mike Rabil.[26] In March 2018, Tsai joined a Michael Rubin-led group to buy the Carolina Panthers.[27] Tsai is also an investor in Major League Soccer franchise Los Angeles FC.[28][29] On 26 May 2021, the National Lacrosse League announced that Tsai would be owning the 15th NLL franchise with it based in Las Vegas.[30][31]" So my first question is what connection does Tsai have with the Pegulas? Or did he reach out to them out of the blue because he wants to expand his sports holdings? Also, just the Sabres or the Bills too? I know we will want to dance a jig over the idea of getting rid of Terry and Kim but this could be the beginning of the end of Buffalo as a major league sports market. Both franchises are undervalued in WNY. And the current border issues make Buffalo an even worse market. What makes @eanyillssay the Pegulas have lost their commitment to the city? Though it's not hard to imagine why.

What's the advantage to cracking it? I have an old one that I haven't used in a while since you can get Prime Video on other platforms.

That's okay. Someone got 'em. -
Most TV's that break down, it's usually something on the motherboard or power board. Not that hard to fix if you don't mind popping the set open. Often times the these are fairly inexpensive but they go out of stock after 5-7 years. So any older TV is destined for the dump.

Not a gamer so that's not an option. I have an older Vizio Smart Cast which is close to useless but the wife doesn't want me to buy a new tv, even thought I could get a 55" 4K Roku for not a lot.

My long nightmare is over. -
Conditioning stint I'm sure.

It's worth it. We had maybe 50-60mb with Xfinity. Here's my speed test just now.

Today we dumped Comcast/Xfinity for 1Gig fiber from Consolidated/Fidium. It's great but also a royal pain in the tuchas. First you have to reconnect all those smart devices you forgot you had. And some of those devices you can't just type in a new password. Then we have to adapt to YouTube TV on a smart tv instead of the cable box we've used for decades. I looked at every tv streaming service and each one is missing something you want. YouTube was missing the least. (No NHL TV for example.) Too much change for old people. Harrumph, harrumph.
