Kinda like this past season where one team generated offensive and then coming back completely tanked in their own end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I found this mockup on another website and it looks pretty good to me for the gold front/blue back concept. Oh please, God, no. But when you actually watch a team that has a two-tone like that, it's confusing right. For the record, he did an "ama" on Reddit. It's literally just a Q&A thing. He seems like a really cool guy who is open to MANY things. But he seems like he's more into executing social media as a means to promote a brand instead of using it to be social. He did say he plans on getting more contests in, though, so that will be nice. I was born in the early 70s, so Reddit is not on my radar (although I know what it is). I agree that he seems like a good dude. I was just hoping for a (much) different vision and direction for the team's social media. I feel as though he's saddled with old media sensibilities in these new media outlets. You don't have to ape the L.A. Kings' feed, but that feed, I think, is a perfect example of what a sports (or entertainment) franchise's social media content can and should do. Media dude is alright. He's got skillz. That's about my take: Competent and proficient. It's also the root of my disappointment. This dovetails with my disappointment with the in-game experience at the arena/center since Pegula Day. There were several periods of time when the LQ regime was doing things in-game that were more innovative (and, frankly, more fun) than anything that's happened under the current management (Better Days is an obvious one (but peculiar to the fact that the team was really good), but I also remember the goofy movie reviews (that was while LQ was in charge, yeah?), the black and white short films that provided profiles of players' lives and personalities, and such). I keep waiting for TB to hire people with real vision -- hasn't happened yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Not to quote all of Aud's post but I tend to agree. As a twenty something year old simply tweeting contests and doing the same old same old during intermission is meh. Not that this is even feasible but it would be awesome to get something like a 8-12 piece brass band to play stuff in btw periods. You know kinda like in football, some pep band would be fun. Have them dress up and play serious and goofy stuff. Have Sabres go out into the community and interview people about their daily jobs (dirty jobs style), the media guy seems solid but I am with Aud the Sabres seem to lack a little bit of creativity in their media departments.

They had a small drum corp playing towards the end of last year. Even during play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You appear to attend as many games as I used to, back in the day -- far more games than I attend now. That is an interesting nugget right there.

That is an interesting nugget right there. I thought people new about this already? They (about 4-5 drummers) are up in an end section of the 200's. Think college football game type of drummers. They would do the Let's go Buffalo thing to get the crowd going plus their own drum line type of play. Their playing ability was awesome. They even played while the game was going on. I liked it at first. I wanted to hear more and more but then it became a bit too much. Sometimes drumming over the game so you can't hear the players yelling and the puck hitting the stick kinda sucks. Kinda like a friend talking all through the game.

That's because drummers never ###### shut up! Field snares are too fun to play, I can't blame them. Is it just 4 or 5 snare drummers? Or is there a quad or bass drum player?
