Doug Allen to sing the Anthems before the Sabres-Nashville Game 1/31/25
Pimlach replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Sounds about right. We had season tix from 1970 thru the 90's. I was surprised when I heard the current version, but I like it better. Great Anthem! -

There are other articles on the changes over the years Before that, whatever Joe is singing is anyone's guess, but he sang it like that for a long time with no issues raised. -- signing out on O'Canada -

Not always. He eventually added the “ God keep our land” part, it shocked me that the words changed. -

Yes. I know the Tenor Joe version by heart, lots of “standing on guard”. The song has changed over the years. Look it up on wiki. -

I do remember when a few words changed. Never gave it second thought. Just figured a few words changed and that was that. My Canadian friends never said he was singing it wrong at that time. Anything is possible I guess. -

I think Joe's words were correct at the time. The words have changed a few times over the years, most recent was 2018 to make it gender neutral. -
No doubt Cozens has been bad for 2 straight years and his contract looks like a bad one. Pettersson makes $11.6M. We are not freeing up $7M dollars (from Cozens), we are taking on an additional $4.8M. There is a reason Vancouver is moving on. And people here want to add Byram (23 and not even close to his ceiling), a #1 , and a prospect. If the deal happens I will jump on the bandwagon and hope that Pettersson proves my concerns are unwarranted. Trading a PPG player in the first year of his big contract has my antenna up. I want a roster of hungry and tough players, and I don't see it with this kid.

I just read that Rutherford had a deal to move Miller and it fell through. If he moves Miller why wouldn’t he keep his superstar? I hope you are correct. I guess I have PTSD on Sabres trades. My risk tolerance is low right now.

Fair. I look at his rift with Miller and wonder how and why it got so bad. Rutherford is looking to deal both of them away, take what you can from that. Like you, I have no other insight into the personalities involved. I assume Adams and his team can assess the injury easier than he can the personalities. How often does a team sign a 1C to a franchise player type deal and then bail on him so quickly? This screams Buyer beware. The Sabres cannot afford to ship out top assets like Byram and Cozens and blow the deal. That is why I’m apprehensive.

I am in the minority here but there are red flags all over the place. We have room, but is he the right kind of player to help turn this program around? Vancouver is regretting the deal, maybe we should take heed.
