That Aud Smell

The Eichel awakens.

LET’S GO!! That our lineup isn’t so good.

Kill this, boys.

Terrible take. Buffalo is auxiliary Canada. And better for it.

Thanks, guv.

Yeah - can we get this thread re-titled to “in game experience at arena 2018-2019” or some such? colour me confused as to why @PASabreFan wants his thread to stay nominally limited to the matter of whether and how in-arena matters affect the players.

C’mon, boys!!

This thread is so great. I don’t think we can sustain the momentum if the team stinks. It’s gonna be a zoo in here once the team is competitive.

There’s really good content in here. I heard another story last night from a longtime STH who said something just seemed wrong and off with the opening night operations. Maybe the Pegulas are in fact in over their heads. As much as it pains me to admit: Bucky was saying this some time ago. I will renew my request for @PASabreFan to broaden the thread title.

Dunno. The complaints are pretty nuts, though. Half hour for a beer. Condiment dispensers empty before the game began. And so on. I guess these are more Delaware North issues? But, still.

The volume of legitimate complaints is fairly staggering. Not for nothing: A crappy slice of pizza last season was, IIRC, $6.75. This season? $8.50. The reactions to bad quality might be hyperbolic, but the rhetoric is just matching the inflation of the prices.

@PASabreFan please consider tweaking thread title to something like In Game Arena Experience 2018-2019. Because, holy hell, this thread (read the replies):

Calm your t1ts. I also don't understand what is being said here.

GVA are giveaways? I didn't get to watch the game, but was somewhat intrigued to see that the basic Corsi had SAT in favor of Buffalo 62-45. Interesting that neither the fans nor the coach saw the game as tilted in Buffalo's favour, though.

I think PSE is constitutionally incapable of hiring that sort of talent.

Interesting. Maybe this belongs in the PSE Creativity thread? Or maybe in-game experience warrants its own thread.

Huh? I recall a bracket or something. Anyway, a goal song is a sight different than ambient organ music. Also, yes: Clown show.

I believe the fans voted on it. Anyway, my point would remain: Are the players sitting on the bench and thinking about what the organist is playing during a break? Are they picking apart the semantics of the PA announcer? I don't think so, but ... maybe?

^ Good post. I hope you're right.

I don't think the players pay a lick of attention to this sort of stuff.

Hey ... why didn't our young phenom d-man do stuff like that?

This gave me a sad.

Good post. But -- are these points really and truly, like, really, true?! We turned over almost the entire roster. How can our forwards be worse than last year?!

To do the good hockey.
