  4. Sabres Moving Preseason Game to Penn State

    Not surprising, the arena is trash. Stop funding renovations and just build a new one. Also this seems like a ploy, I doubt the Sabres ever intended to play a game in Rochester. The Sabres are just trying to push for more money in renovations when they should just put in some of there own money in if there so concerned.

  16. Sabres and Concussions

    I don't know what the pro helmets are like, but the helmets we beer leaguers get are a joke. The difference in the padding from football helmets to hockey helmets is remarkable. It must be a cost or weight thing, because I've always wondered why it wasn't the same tech in the two.

     

    Football helmets have all these air pockets that can be custom inflated and adjusted. Hockey helmets basically have cut-up pieces of workshop flooring jammed in as padding. I really think they are just meant to protect against the puck, not contact with another player.

    Exactly. Its a joke that the NHL has such helmets. There is no reason why they cant mass produce safer helmets.

    Whoever designed this schedule display (taken from the sabres website) should be dragged out back and shot. Can any of you tell the the home/away games based upon the shades of gray?

  22. Who was that woman?

    No, not Miss Lewinsky.

     

    The talk of Taro's Sabres history tome and a Sabres history comic strip got me to thinking of certain images down through the years.

     

    Does anyone else remember this: late 70s well into the 80s and maybe beyond, when the Sabres scored at the Aud, on TV they'd have the same crowd shot showing the same woman in profile standing and cheering. She had dark hair I believe. I always thought it was cool, somewhat iconic.

    Ha! 15 years later and it still cracks me up.

    "I. Did not. Have. Sexual relations. With that women!"

  24. NHL's Dirty Secret

    I don't see them ignoring head injuries, otherwise we'd have a lot less emails to read. I see them unwilling to institutionalize ownership of the issue, which makes sense because doing so is likely to open the league up to endless lawsuits.

     

    I see them trying to put the onus on the players and the NHLPA, because they consider it a player problem. I don't see how that is particularly eye-opening or new.

    I dont think they were ignoring them in that sense, but in a sense that they knew there was a problem. They discussed it frequently but failed to act.

     

    This email is very telling: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2778864-NHL0031023.html

  25. NHL's Dirty Secret

    I fail to see what's so damaging about these emails, and I read that entire article from what's its place.

    The fact that Bettman and Campbell ignored the dangers of head injuries...

    And the fact they victim blame. If you read through the emails you'll see how much off an ass Campbell is.

     

     

     

     

    OT: Zemgus's tweets were brought up in one of the emails lol

     

    Zemgus Girgensons: @Zemgus 94

    baseball season over, what to watch now? #sadtweet

     

    Zemgus Girgensons: @Zemgus 94
