  1. If the AHL West ever happens I think Alaska will soon enough be out. Don't think they would be so great as an Eastern team. Way harder conference.
  2. The league has become much like the AHL sadly. All focused on development. Was a different league back then when cities like Johnstown were the norm. Now they try to go bigger and better for everything. People gave the Afrs a lot of crap because the arena went to hell. The team was generally good. You can tell they were focused on the team. At the end of the day hockey always was and will be the bread and butter for that arena making money. Its too small to get many acts here. Its, its own worst enemy. The problem with these owners is they are too busy sextifying the arena. While the bar wasn't bad and has decent food the hockey team was a joke. They know nothing about hockey and had no hockey people. They canned Nichols. Dwight Mullins was a joke. He was Malcolm Cameron except Cameron could recruit he just couldn't recruit. Wish they would have sols the team. Would have allowed them to focus on thw arena and would have changed the roster. Only team in the AHL players could go up to would be Rochester now if they aren't 2 way with Rochester or Sabres property they can go to any other AHL team.
  3. Highly doubt the sheep would be interested in watching snoozefest ECHL Hockey and I cant imagine people in this town liking losing a home game. But I did read something in Sunday's paper about a preseason game maybe between the Jackals and Americans. Man if the Amerks don't roll something is wrong. Theres also a lot of promises about coaches and system and trainers and resources. Cant forget "famous alumni" whoever that would be. I just hope they get us a big name head coach. Still on the CRAIG RIVET bandwagon.
  4. Interesting. Not sure it will make our Jackals any better because the guys owning the team don't have much of an idea about hockey. Yes there was a rumor Pegula would buy the team/arena. That was back in 2012. Wish it was true. It would bring some longer term stability. I wonder if we will see Tuzzolino here as he spent much of last year with the Amerks. The jersey has looked better, they have changed it so many times. It looked way better 2 years ago, have no idea what the new owners were thinking, even the font on these ones look cheap. I hope the team is watchable. Last years team was as bad as the Sabes, a head to head may have been interesting. Lol We weren't supposed to have Sabres prospects that's why. The team was really weak though. They had very little ECHL talent and the coach was awful. It didn't help the assistant was a guy who has seen nothing beyond D3 Hockey and was only committed to home games. I wish Craig Rivet would come back to coach. No idea who will be the coach but i'll bet money it's not Dwight Mullins. The Sabres want one of their guys or input anyway, that wont help Dwight.
  5. I hope that was a joke. There was a list once upon a time that Buffalo was the 2nd poorest city in the country behind Detroit. Now thats gotta be pure garbage, Cockchester has a bunch of cokeheads, I know this because for some reason those druggies all invade my city. Not to mention in other news Kodak is in deep ######. But for what it's worth I just don't see him signing, theres teams with more cap room and they can throw more cash at him. If that teams a winner he would likely go. Can't blame him this team is a long ways away from competing.
  6. Here are some more jokes: NEW New York Law:Beware! The New York Highway Patrol are cracking down on speeders heading towards and into the city of Buffalo. For the first offense, they give you two Buffalo Bills tickets. If you get stopped a second time, they make you use them. Q: What do you call 47 millionaires sitting around a TV watching the Super Bowl? A: The Buffalo Bills Q: What do the Buffalo Bills and Billy Graham have in common? A: They both can make 70,000 people stand up and yell "Jesus Christ." Q: How do you keep a Buffalo Bill out of your yard? A: Put up a goal post. Q: What do you call a Buffalo Bill with a Super Bowl ring? A: A thief. Q: What's the difference between the Buffalo Bill and the dollar bill? A: You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill. Q: How many Buffalo Bills does it take to win a Super Bowl? A: Nobody knows and we may never find out! Q: What do the Bills and possums have in common? A: Both play dead at home and get killed on the road!
  7. Meant to say the 90's* as I was born in 88. Made a typo and didn't check back on it. In the minority but I like Fitz. It's not his fault he is throwing to very little talent and that the defense is just absolute garbage.
  8. No. But they have done the winning that matters the last decade. When I grew up in the 80's outside of 96 they were nothing special.
  9. Lol: http://wgr550.com/Cuomo-Seeks-Millions-for-Bills-to-Stay-in-Town/12022085 http://wgr550.com/Higgins-Asks-For-New-Blackout-Rules/12040355 I have big issues with the first one. The state throwing away all this money while they are already severely in debt?
  10. Ralph needs to die and they need to find a new owner to be lined up and ready. It would help if Ralphie wasn't such a cheapskate. Can't take that money and use it while in his grave....
  11. Didnt see the game you are talking about but on Touchdowns I know it's where the ball is, not your feet or body, just the ball. Either they royally goofed up or football rules in general are inconsistent. That was unfortunate. one play literally changed a franchise, I don't think it relates to all 12 years after that but a lot of guys like Wade got a crappy deal from it.
  12. That and why was house cleaned all because of 1 play?
  13. The Packers lost, i'm beyond depressed. Been a diehard my whole life. Living in this stupid state with the Giants fans. YUCK. Go Niners...
  14. Gotta give the Niners credit, never saw that coming. Saw an interesting special yesterday on CBS called "They Call This the Playoffs" Showed great highlights of key moments. They showed the play against tennessee, for the first time in my life I am convinced that was forward, never was sure until I saw it on this show
