Campy Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Translation: we're desperate for anyone to come watch this pile of excrement... So much so that we'll create diversions so that you maybe won't notice how utterly unwatchable the team is. Or: "Hey, we know it's been bad and we really appreciate you coming out to the games so here's a little something extra to say thanks."

North Buffalo Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I thought TB and JB were supposed to be good at this stuff... (sarcasm). Someone needs a refresher class in marketing 101. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 So.... They are suggesting that you need a LOT of coffee to watch the games? Only if you were planning to fall asleep. Sabres won, but game was kinda disjointed. NJ is not very good, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 These guys continue to be so bad at this stuff. I'm sure you remember the "we're sorry" gesture after the lockout. Again, a shameless attempt to get people into the Sabres Store. Really, Terry, you couldn't put gift certificates to Ruth's Chris on every seat? I exaggerate, but they appear to have missed another opportunity to show they genuinely appreciate what the fans are going through. I didn't mind the lockout gesture. Really one of the better ways to give the WHOLE fan base something. I'm still on my pledge to buy nothing Sabres related until they actually field a team.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) How often did I read posts wailing about trying to make the 8th seed in the playoffs when the team should have been tanking for draft picks? "Tank, tank, tank! We wanna tank!" So now we are tanking and just as I expected it's "Wah wah wah, we suck! I'm not gonna support this team 'cause we suck!!" It would be hilarious if it weren't so sad and predictable. Just deal with it because this will last for the next 3 years minimum.

Yeah, the narrator needs work. Also, the Batman music almost made me spit take with laughter. Related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdb2w1Yu97E All that said, I agree with the core message.

It would be hilarious if it weren't so sad and predictable. Just deal with it because this will last for the next 3 years minimum. Far too much general condemnation of the fans. Many are 100% on board with the team's strategy and I disagree that this "tanking" has to last the next three 3 years minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every regular poster on this board has been very consistent with their views. Some have never been on board with tanking and are therefore wholly justified in their bitching about watching ###### hockey. Those who have advocated for tanking in the past have had zero regrets about how this season has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who have advocated for tanking in the past have had zero regrets about how this season has gone. As far as I can tell, you're right. I'd call it a rebuild and not a tank, because I don't think it's deliberate. That said, and for PTR's benefit, please allow me to conjugate: I hated the rebuild. I hate the rebuild. I will hate the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
