Per the Athletic, the Sabres have the lowest home attendance % at 71.5% capacity. Relevant portion of article below: Buffalo Sabres: 3,533 fewer fans/game (20.6 percent decrease) The Sabres are one of the biggest fallers probably due to a combination of things. The biggest one: They’re just not that good (yet), and they haven’t been for some time. They’re in the midst of another rebuilding effort after selling off players like Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart and Taylor Hall, among others. The Buffalo Bills being so good and commanding a lot of the attention likely hasn’t helped. And the KeyBank Center is pretty stale, too. We asked our Sabres writer, Matt Fairburn, for his take on the dip in attendance to ensure we weren’t way off here. “I think the season ticket base has also eroded over time. That’s made the prices on the secondary market higher because there aren’t as many fans just trying to unload tickets at any cost,” he said. “They sold out the Boston game and had big crowds a few other nights, including ’90s night against the Blues. But ultimately I just think them being so bad for so long has made people slow to buy in.” From 2006-07 to 2019-20, the Sabres were consistently an upper-tier attendance team with an average that never dipped below 17,000 fans. But their 71.5 percent capacity for home games this season is dead last in the league.

I’m not sure how Pats fans did 15+ years of a heavy prime time schedule. This ***** sucks, give me back sundays at one.

We look terrible

Dm me your weed guy

KA master plan: waste a year for “developement;” waste a year for “development;” draft Bedard; sign Kane; be a real hockey team

You’re basically describing Colorado. Mackinnon was drafted in 2013 after a 48 game season. We’re saying the same thing. We should have used the shortened season to kickstart out rebuild.

The appropriate time to start the rebuild was the lockout/Mackinnon year ala Colorado

Three teams below us can pass us with games in hand.

Bump

Sick goal

This anthem lady sucks

That was embarrassing

Left to right—Allen, Beane, Fitz, Dawkins

Face-offs are almost entirely related to NHL experience taking face-offs. We’ll be good when we have 2-3 years per center.

Need to bounce back in a big way. Why is last nights GDT locked?

We look like doodoo

That was a weak call

*****

Bucci loves Quinn more than Buffnill

That’s not at all why. It’s because they’ve had a great team on the verge of a cup for years. They’re the “smart” hockey peoples team.

The Hurricanes have been the darling of hockey media for three seasons now.

How is that not a hook

Yeah I don’t want anyone on the Sabres pulling what he did. That’s some ***** *****.

Okposo needs to be smarter than that

***** Dahlin catching punches because of the linesman
