  1. Rosen.  Looks like I'm late to the party on him but wow he was terrific both nights.  From what I had read and limited viewing of Rosen I was expecting almost nothing and felt like he was moving very close to bust territory.  These two games have opened my eyes.  He looked faster than I thought.  He had better vision than I thought.  Its only two games but I thought he looked just as good or slighlty better than Kulich.

    Was hoping one of Savoie or Kulich would step up and make the Sabres out of camp.  I think Rosen deserves to atleast be in conversation also.  He's probably Roch bound but wouldn't be surprised if he gets a callup stint later in the season.

  2. We had an awesome time at the game and look forward to going again tonight. 

    Good price on Sabres gear there too.  Various Sabres ball caps $15 each including tax.  Sweaters at $30 felt like pretty good value as well. 

    There were a few Montreal jerseys scattered throughout the crowd.  Maybe sabres should have used zip code when selling these tickets.

    Just like 13 seconds, there will be no consequences. 

    Kaiir Elam looked great tonight. Really good value with that first round pick. 

    Bills have missed on too many high picks in recent years.  It’s killing them.

    Hope the Sabres can keep drafting well.  So important in salary cap era when ur paying star players to have the cheap contracts add value.

    Honestly, not a chance, he'll spend the entire season in Wentachee, before coming to Rochester next year.  He's by far our most talented forward prospect, but there really isn't a need for him this season without some major injury between now and October 1st.  Savoie, Kulich, Rosen, Rousek, Weissblach, Cederqvist, are all further along.  That being said, if he shatters all expectations and provides that he's ready now, I'll gladly shut my mouth. 

    I Donno man.  Most likely yes.  But I want whatever is best for his development and the betterment of the Sabres.  I’m not rushing him because we have nobody good at the nhl level.  I’m having him on the team if he earns a spot and plays lights out come preseason.  Which may be unlikely but is far from impossible.

  5. I grabbed our tickets to the event.  I believe it’s open to everyone but there are STH only sessions that require (free) tickets including kids only player Q and A.  Should be fun seeing that and then Harbour Centre for prospects game at night. 

    Buffalo Science Museum also hosting some event called Bubblefest we are checking out first and then will make our way down to the arena.

  7. One of these bitter sweet weekends.  Opportunity for one last good time as you reflect on the summers past and anticipate the return to school / start of fall.  
     

    I for one had one of the best summers of my life and hope everyone else did as well.  Cheers to the transition from summer to fall.

  8. Wow they’re estimating $600k in damages.  We’re about to head down to the waterfront now so I’ll have to take a walk by and see if there’s any visible damage to the outside of the building.

    For those with bisons tix for tomorrow, the team will announce whether the game will go ahead or not later today after an assessment of damages. 
     

    Damn dip n dots arnt even that good….

    It seems as if they are taking over the building when they outplay the Sabres. It arouses their fans in attendance. When the Sabres outplay the Leafs, regardless how many Leaf fans are in the arena, our fans then dominate the subdued opposing fans. The notion that the opposing fans are dominating a building is not as much of an issue of in-game experience as how the home team is playing. There are plenty of games when the Sabres are playing poorly and the fans are either somnolent or exasperated. That's the real source of problems associated with bad in-game experience. It's a function of how the team is playing. 

    Right?!  Leafs didn’t jump out to a 4-0 first period lead last year because there were ‘too many’ leaf fans.  They jumped out to the lead because UPL couldn’t stop a ***** beach ball that night and got pulled for Anderson.  Pretty even game after the goalie change.

    Leads me back to my frustration of not addressing goaltending this off-season.  Obviously a discussion for another thread.

    For leafs games in particular, I can usually see about 20 sabres fans in my section and the 2 adjacent. I'll ask them where they came from next time and we can extrapolate how many people in the building for leafs games are sabres fans from Ontario

    I'm not claiming that this is true on any given night, but on nights where sabres fans are 5% of the crowd, the raw number is not going to be big. 

    I’ll get you started.  Four of us will be there from southern Ontario at leaf game cheering on our Sabres.

    I agree with what Taro is saying.  If I didn’t have seasons this policy would be infuriating to the point it would absolutely dissuade me from going as often as I do.

    Please don’t alienate your existing fanbase.  Many of which come from southern Ontario. I hate all the leaf fans in the building as well.  This isn’t the answer imo.
