LastPommerFan Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I know this will NEVER happen, but the NHL should set up an emergency fund for weather events such as this where the teams could then play the game as scheduled but have the teams advise that fans will not be permitted into the stadium (to prevent people forcing travel). The fund would make up the profits for the game for the teams and give them extra to allow them to give out tickets to a future game for fans who have tickets to that game. Per Facebook, Sabres are offering exactly this to any fans who can't make it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 You guys are going to have some serious flooding issues when this all melts. This is a disaster. Sitting on 4-5 feet....it's STILL in the same spot with another 2 feet by tomorrow....a 12 hour break, then another 2-3 feet Thursday/Friday.....THEN....60 degrees Mon/Tues. First the roofs, then the basements.....F.... The neighbors had gas backing up into their house and it took me almost 15 minutes to dig 70 feet. I hope the Sabres have a bench clearing brawl and win 12-2. I need some entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Wasn't there a game against Philly in 05 or 06 in which we played through a snow storm and won big? Yes. 4 days after the October Surprise. It was a 9-1 win and Hitchcock was fired days later. They also played (and beat) the Rangers the day after the storm.

WildCard Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yes. 4 days after the October Surprise. It was a 9-1 win and Hitchcock was fired days later. Was that when Afinogenov went coast to coast? I think that was 06-07, no? Pretty sure I still have the newspaper from that game...or I burned it during the ECFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) It was October 17, 2006. Thanks. I looked it up and yep, I remember it. Afinogenov was my favorite player growing up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr1q0ZFUcLE Edit: Wow, I actually forgot how loud that place can get. And that was only for an October game. I can't wait for hockey to be relevant again Edited November 18, 2014 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 My house has 4 feet, and in Olean we can see grass. I like the snow. My mom and sister are home alone. I want to be there. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Everyone I know seems to have hit their shoveling quota and given up, declaring it "time to start drinking". Yea, I quit. Shoveled out the walkway from the doors so if God feels like dumping on me some more and decides it would be a good time for the place to burn down, I can easily get out. Took 3 hours. I've lived in the area my entire life and I have never seen anything like this with respect to how fast it came down and how much more we're still expected to get.

Weave Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 What does helpless feel like? My dad is right along the Cheektowaga/W Seneca border, so ground zero basically. He can't get at the vent for his furnace. and the snow is too deep for him to wade through to get at it. He's worried about the furnace kicking off when the snow covers the vent. And no way to get to him to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3putt Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 City of good neighbors. Call a neighbor, use facebook. Call in a favor. I'm from that area, they take care of their own. Good luck and God's speed. Another thought. I was a volunteer fireman. On nights like this a crew would usually man the house and the rookies like me would have to dig out the hydrants. You might want to see if anyone is manning the house. Again good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably naive on my part, but hopefully there is someone who can check on him. Everything is fine right now. We just don't have a way to help him make sure his furnace vent stays clear. Emergency services are pretty overloaded right now. he'd be really low on the priority list. I wish neighbors were an option but they are all older as well and would have the same challenges he would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
