Nice, havent seen this event in years.... how long has it been? Last time I attended I met Marty Biron during his emergency callups back wen he was still #00. Every autograph I get from him even to this day I ask for #00, he enjoys it.

It was frustrating hearing the chants and seeing the large leaf population in the lower bowl. felt like an away game when their goal cheers were much louder than the home team, minus the horns and music of course. Was anyone at the game last night that can comment on what it was like being there? Is our lower bowl also corporate or just not die-hard enough STH's that prefer to sell em off? Is anyone aware of tactics other teams are using to prevent this? I'd love to see a no-resale policy but i know thats an unachievable utopian dream.

I live about 4 hours east, but grew up in Akron/Middleport, so occasionally I click the odd article but generally just the sports portion in terms of this discussion. Is the amount of content roughly the same between them? I'm gathering the atheletic is the better option, but I'll admit Wildcard's post does strike a point, I prefer a lot of content but at the same time want to throw my monitor through a wall when I start reading one of those bleacher report articles. Hoping the athletics pieces are not all large in depth pieces. I see athletic does a trial but it doesn't look like that is an option for the $29.99 1st year deal. Has the news improved recently since the turnover? didn't some of the writers that were less popular end up at athletic? I appreciate everyone's time on the matter, some of the analysis and predictions you guys have is better than most of the writing i find anyways, but it only comes in one sentence at a time ?

BN looks to be $6/mo first year where athletic I can get down to $2.49/mo for the first year. Which would you pick? While the cheaper cost looks nice on athletic, I do want the most bang for the buck. Looking for both Sabres and Bills coverage.

I lurk these forums, participating once every few years when a topic stirs such passion in me I cannot idly watch my viewpoint go unrepresented. While my viewpoint for this issue is indeed well represented in this instance, I still felt it necessary to state that Buffalo style pizza has ruined me. Every pizza I even consider elsewhere is met with the fears that it will be no where near as good as buffalo pizza. Every time I am bitterly disappointed and find myself longing for another slice of the delicious nirvana of a middle of a buffalo sheet. When I travel to the area I over-purchase and freeze it, however it has a half life of about 2 days. While I've read a few but not all pages, I have not seen my usual haunt mentioned, Picasso's on Transit. Convenient on/off the thruway for my travels. As much as I love my family in the area, I suppose I would be torn if I was asked whether I was visiting for the pizza or the family. I have often opined that Buffalo pizza is indeed worthy of being enshrined as a true regional specialty and I am glad that there is a movement afoot to affirm that. I hope and pray that some day that a "buffalo pizza joint" may be as common in our national travels as chicago, NY or even california style pizza. Bless you buffalo pizza and those that support it.

I heard they let TM go due to his long speeches at the draft podium.

Hawks, top 6 to start, 3rd at the end. 15-20

1. Food service counter help 2. Fine Dining Busboy 3. Moving Company Laborer 4. Overnight Receiving 5. Dairy Farmer (1 week) 6. Rural Paper Delivery 7. AS400 Mainframe Operator

Indeed, up stream seemed to be pegged yesterday though

Not here

Golotov has alot of skill. Tons of potential, course this is a non contact dev camp. Bailey and baptiste are on abother level of course, camp ivite goalie Samuels made some strong saves. Chatfield is a beast, good hustle. Asplund is a steal as advertised. Gm tm is here, judging us all with his beady ice staresGuhle is launching rocket wrist shots, looks good to go, dupuy lasered a no look backhand top corner. Johanson is doing great

If anyone else has further notes or details that I missed or should add feel free to mention it

Much Appreciated! Tickets are 20, total for 2 with digital delivery was $51.30 after "processing" "convience" and "delivery" charges. Whatever happened to "If I want more money I'll drill another well"??

https://www.scribd.com/doc/317227707/Buffaslugs-Dev-Camp I reworked the Dev Camp roster to include additional notes and information on where the players were drafted.

Deets?

There are so many components to the Martin trade that are still rolling I hope it never ends, I've been watching it over the last 10 or so years. There has been a few images of it made over the years, its fascinating to watch the ripple effect of one moment. Some of the biggest and most famous/infamous names in sabres history are involved. A team still pulling dividends from a trade in 1981 is really a testament to asset management and some good luck Rick Martin played 5 games for the kings after the trade.

I've been trying to dig up some more info on the dev camp, looks like few to no details are out as of yet. They say "early July" but given that the camp starts on the 6th and the 4th is kind of a major holiday that is a very compact timeline for giving notice. I'm hoping to head up for a few days of it, esp since I missed the draft >< Anyone else planning on it?

Fixed?

Draft is on NBCSN, 30 min pregame show at 6:30. NHL Network is doing Pre and post draft as well. FYI for anyone that goes looking

Poll results so far are pretty intriguing, much less concise than I had pictured. I personally am hoping to keep him, go for a rebound year and see if he could be the thorn-in-the-side 30 goal scorer that takes advantage of the fact that the opposition is focused on Jack, Ryan, Sam Etc. Oh yeah and we have that Kane guy too.

Megathreads have their place as long as the topic is relatively straightforward and narrow in scope, but I can't stand the ones that involve the entire rest of the league like the trade speculation one going on. too many voices on too many topics to keep straight. <~ doing my part to threadspam since 6/24/16. LOL though I did follow the old fashioned country club rule of not talking for my first year (actually 3)

Several Sources, including WGR citing a Minnie newspaper writer are claiming Vanek is being bought out. Sad to watch the downfall of a man that could decide to be a superstar any night he wanted, though for some reason rarely wanted. I doubt anyone wants another kick at the vanek can, but he's got to be pretty butt-hurt as the rumors and dreaming that vanek was going to minnesota are now looking to have lasted longer than vanek's actual tenure in minnesota. wonder where he goes now that he got dejected from his true love.

Its a fantastic place to go for a concert. I would be shocked if the giftshop/store/brewpub is not open. I've been there for cake (ye, the group) a few years ago and for a few special events like the game of thrones dinner and charity auctions The brewery itself would be chaos if they tried to give tours on a day like that. Its a hipster zoo. seriously. They come down from the hills and up from the city, many camp overnight both day before and night after.

So what gets it done?

They are still reeling from the Zhitnk part of that deal. Though we all know Huddy was the real steal.
