How fresh is the Sabres product?

[SDS]

What say you?

[static70]

The bottom 6 looks just on the right side of ok.

The top 6 are getting stale, my need to blue light sale some of them.

 

Defense appears to be in rebuild mode.

 

Goaltending is about the only product that is consumable, that and Myers.

You know how when your room mate leaves that carton of milk out for too long?

 

That.

[SwampD]

McDonald's wouldn't even let their employees take it home with them at the end of the night.

[wonderbread]

You know that last beer of the night? The one that you leave on the counter because you are too hammered to drink it? That's how old stale are?

[nobody]

Depends on what you mean by the product. The product in terms of talent on the ice? The product in terms of entertainment value (ticket sales, tv ratings)?

Where's Sabres_Republic so the first choice can get a vote?

[SabresneedaCup]

I always view sports as entertainment, so my definition of product is you buying their form of entertainment.

well then no one can say they arent entertaining, cause they are very much so.

Ticket sales are good, tv ratings are better then most places in the US, passionate fans.

agreed.

I can say it. 09-10 did not entertain me.

[SabresneedaCup]

bull.

Agreed. Snoozefest all year. If it wasn't for Myers, nothing on that team was worth watching. I know Miller was good but watching a goalie make saves isn't my cup of tea.

if you werent entertained then you wouldnt have watched the games. entertained and being satisfied with how the team plays is 2 different things.

and if we didnt have myers or miller, you would still watch the sabres.

I probably watched 5 games from start to finish.

[SabresneedaCup]

yeah ok.

[inkman]

yeah ok.

I was working 70+ hours a week from 7am to 12am. Tell me when I was going to watch hockey again?

[SabresneedaCup]

ok but the reason you didnt watch the games was because you were working, not because the games werent entertaining. bada bing.

[darksabre]

No it's not. Being entertained implies a positive connotation. I watched most of the games this year but I did not enjoy all of them. I often found myself watching other games on NHL network out of the desire to watch 'good' hockey as opposed to depressing hockey. The Sabres were rarely entertaining last year despite winning a good number of games. The bad games were abysmal and many of the wins were snoozefests to boot.

 

Compared to other teams and watching a lot of college hockey, the Sabres are not entertaining.
