Billy Sheehan also played with Van Halen on some tours

I'm in the same boat. When I tell the story, people wonder if I still have the tickets - heck no, I was a student and returned them for the $20/$25 they cost

The best cover band of the 70’s in Buffalo was ***** Robin

Harvey & Corky’s Stage One

Wasn’t it the Pop Shoppe he advertised?

"Clear the Track" I didn't have to post!

That's my issue as an ex-pat that makes it up to Buffalo for a couple games a year. Frankly, it forces me to the secondary market, rather than buying direct from the Sabres. Not exactly the dynamic the team wants.

I expect he'll be a Sabre for the first 10 games of the season.

Also include the Voice of the Sabres - Ted Darling

I'm a little partial to the old team of Chris Schenkel and Bud Wilkinson

made Korab look smallish

Ted, RJ, and Van provided a substantial portion of the soundtrack of my youth. Van also did a great job with the Braves

Nice, concise summary of Brad Park

Very simply, a stated plan that makes sense given the state of the franchise when he took over. It was a joke. He decided he’d get players who wanted to be here. He did and there has been steady, incremental progress since. The progress has occurred both in the nhl and ahl. I don’t agree with everything he’s done/not done, but he likely disagree with some of my professional decisions.

Blue jays catcher???

Then there was Ken Dryden, who won the Conn Smythe the season BEFORE he won the Calder!

Have others, like me, concluded he's playing with bad/broken rib(s)?

I hope this turns out like 1973 - tight playoff race against the Red Wings, which Sabres won and made playoffs in 3d season. "Thank you Sabres" as the Habs won the series

I agree wholeheartedly, but also understand why the season ticket base is currently too low. Simply fans speaking with their wallet. As an ex-pat all I can do is refuse to buy gear. I did until last summer - I believe in KA and current direction. I’m old enough to remember the lengthy STH waiting list. Fans will come back when they believe in the team.

I'd make it 10 years earlier.

Gotta chuckle at an Al Smith Sabres quote! Thaks for the memory

Bruins and Dolphins definitely most hated, although I'll concede age is a part of the equation.

He is on a trajectory to have a Bill Hajt or even Mike Ramsey type career. That trajectory, even if he doesn't become a HOF player, is a very good one

O, believe me, I have it. My wife saw it awhile ago, put it on, and wondered why in the hell I paid good money for it
