It should be noted that privately the team only takes blame for Robitaille misspell. Andreychuk did not wear that jersey on ice and team had no explanation for that picture.
That's not what the article states:
A: I’m glad you asked because there has been a lot said about it. The truth is Mike Robitaille has had that jersey for a long time and he’s worn it out multiple times. In fact, he got it before, knew it was misspelled and likes to wear it. He showed up that day and put it on. It wasn’t something we gave him that night, but he wore it.
In terms of Dave Andreychuk, that was '80s Night and that jersey we did give him. There is a positive and negative to that. The negative is the jersey was misspelled. The positive is the error was caught in the hallway before he went on the ice. We were able to swap out the jersey and get him the correct one before he went on the ice.

Warwick mask in Michigan makes the Hasek helmet. He did have paint jobs in Buffalo, Ottawa and Detroit when he switched from the SK2000 to this composite helmet.

I don't assume, I know I'm more knowledgeable than you.

First off, Hasek did have a custom paint job in the NHL mostly in his latter days with Buffalo but mostly with Detroit.Here's the link: https://www.warwickmaskcompany.com/
It's clear you don't know how this works and are just arguing for arguing. The team does not dictate what mask a goalie wears, that's his preference. Goaltenders and players, choose the equipment they wear. Brand. model. customizations etc... That said, a goalie mask is not the same as pulling a CCM helmet out of the equipment room and you're good to go. Pro goalies, on all levels, get their buckets custom molded and fit to their noggins. They're superstitious and don't want to try new stuff in a game unless they have too. Could he have grabbed a spare bucket from the EQ guy so he matched or worn white one, sure. But he didn't, so chill out. It's not the teams fault. If he stays up with the team, maybe he'll get one painted.

I don't think that jersey is from this year at all. How could they be different brands? Did Buffalo order multiple brands of their own jerseys? Andrechuk is def screwed up but I think the Robi is from another thing altogether.
They are easily different brands, some CCM, SP or Adidas. If you look at this album from 70s night, the guys who are around more (Roby, Gare) have jerseys where the patch is lower. Guys like Dudley and Andy have a higher patch. Different jerseys, probably different brands. Puppa has an SP jerseys. Heck, Grant Ledyard wore his actual game jersey from 1993.

Even if the Roby is from 70's night, it's still misspelled and he's been in the community and on Tv for 30+ years.
The shoulder patch difference is because they are different brand jerseys. The fact still remains, that this should not happen.

Mildly surprised they use AdPro for the customizations. A few years back they had several local embroidery / knitting companies do the work for them. Guess they felt it more important to save a very few bucks and have consistant "quality" (or lack thereof) and made the switch. Seems a shame.
PSE does own it, so they're keeping it "in the family"

HOLY SHNIKEYS!!! that's insane. Did you take it back to get redone? If so I hope you gave them an earful - that is inexcusable.
They should also train their staff better, there's at least 3 sure fire tells to identify knockoffs, especially with the 50ths. I mean, the crest... duh.
Also not to to cop an attitude with the public.

I hope those are photoshopped.
I wish they were, but they are not. I had seen that Andreychuk pic many times too and never even noticed it
until someone pointed it out.

This sums up the state of the organization when they can't even spell former player names right. SMH.

? I watched it, so it must have been made public.
Where? It's not on Sabres.com or Beyond Blue & Gold or the YouTube channel. As far as I can find, they never put it online. they only showed it in Arena and during the broadcast intermissions.

Their social media is pretty great. The Tre White goalie videos didn't come out of thin air. On the other hand, PSE just cut 1/3 of its creative staff.
Videos such as Beyond Blue & Gold seems to be their strong suit. Still curious why that Rob v. Domi stuff was never made public. Anyone know?

I feel like they drop the ball all around. You see what other teams put out in terms of content on social, in-game, promotions etc...and the Sabres are lacking.

I know what she does and am not confusing her role and didn't say she run the sports operation.
She does however have oversight over everything under the PSE umbrella, which IMO
needs a lot of work. Especially the Sabres marketing, which in her role,
she should see this and be pushing for better results or get the right people who will.
There's no reason, other than lack of strategy and planning why they didn't have warmup jerseys ready for the theme nights this season.
If she's the President, that falls on her as much as it does those under her.

I would not Fire Terry as the owner. I would however remove Kim from running PSE and hire the proper people to oversee the operations. She can still be involved
in philanthropy and appropriate NFL & NHL initiatives but she/they need to turn the reigns over to more experienced and knowledgeable people.

The Hampton Inn in East Aurora is pretty nice and only 20 minutes straight down route20A...plus you can hit Bar-Bill and al the other EA spots.

Put it this way. When ESB came out ( for those of us who are old enough experience this) and we all found out Vader was Lukes father. We didn't have the internet and instant forum to express our confusion or hate of the turn of events. I never once sat back and questioned why we were never given a back story who is wife was etc.... we just took it for what it was and move on and enjoyed it. I feel like people now (because of instant access to info) want an explanation for everything and mapped for them and can't suspend their reality to just enjoy some fiction. In the end that;'s all it is... a story about wizards with laser swords. ?

I enjoyed ROS... I guess I'm a sucker for giving the fans what they want and the movie itself was non-stop action. Yes there was a couple of eye-roll moments but overall IMO it was better than TLJ. That said, I think Rogue One is the best SW movie since Empire and better than all three "sequels" If they had given the keys to the place to Jon Favrue then we wouldn't be in this predicament. He's a far better director and STORYTELLER than JJ and Rian or Kathleen. The guy made Ironman and created the MCU universe. Which is why Mandalorian is so damn good, because it's his baby. I love it and love where it's going. It gives you just enough to keep reminding you that you're in the same universe as Luke, Han and Lei without pandering. It's a western in the SW world.

Running the ramps up and down from the blues.
My Dad buying tickets off scalpers after the game started.
Having a root beer in the Aud Club while my Dad and his buddies drank Labatts.
Walking under the skyway through gail force winds because we'd park a mile away.
The earl of bud.
The cones hanging from the ceiling.
Dale Hunter knocking out Mike Ramsey's teeth.
Trying to catch pucks with a baseball mitt behind the net during warmups.
I was there for Rammer getting his teeth knocked out. no penalty called either if I remember, The place went berserk.
I also remember going to a ton of Stallions games as a kid and the place was just a free for all, to roam around goof off, especially on weekends.
Amazing to to think my parent would drop a bunch of 13 year olds off there without a care in the world.

Gotcha. Really? I think it's sharp. It's clean and classic and the backstory makes sense to honor first ever hockey team in Texas.
IMO, there's not a lot to hate, but hey everyone has their own taste.

which one?

the Stars released a statement and update about availability of their Winter Classic jersey and I think it goes a long way to show they care about the fan and are listening to who they want on jerseys, product delivery dates etc...
I wished the Sabres were more open about stuff like this, if they had said something about the 50th jerseys it would have done a lot to stop rumors and just be honest, we messed up and didn't order enough.

These are the two royals, WC2018 on the left. 90's game jersey on the right. Either would be fine.
