wjag Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 A last place team, a franchise in disarray and the price goes up. #blueprint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Largely because of the money he's sunk into the franchise and arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 http://sabres.buffal...purchase-price/ Good now he can sell it and we can get an owner we can trust like John Rigas or Tom Golisano. Or, better yet, Gary Bettman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he knew he was ignorant about the sport. Remember that time John and Tom built a 126million dollar hockey/entertainment/hotel facility right next to the arena which has directly resulted in major hockey events being moved, given or considered for Buffalo.

I think we've been over this. I really don't care. The team is historically bad, the cost of attending a game has steadily risen each year, payroll was cut. Terry, who just bought himself another team, is the only one who seems to have escaped from his reign of error unscathed. We have to give props to Sabres owner Tom Golisano and the organization for making some dramatic improvements to the building. http://artvoice.com/...over_hsbc_arena Golisano invested more than $10 million new hi-def center ice video board, ribbon boards that ring the arena's bowl, re-creating the Poor Man's Aud Club and improvements to the Sabres and visitors locker rooms. All of the improvements were privately funded by Golisano. http://www.sportingn...ing-with-sabres Yep, Tom was a bum. All he did was save the franchise, nearly win a Cup or two, then ensure it remained it Buffalo. In the end, all owners who win are loved, then reviled when they lose. Pegula has managed to buy everyone's affection to reverse that trend. How long does the honeymoon last? Donuts go stale pretty quick, but starry-eyed Buffalonians appear to be dunkers.

LGR4GM Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Never said tom was a bum. I liked Golisano. The cost has gone up and the team does suck. Never argued that. I am not even going to argue with you because it would be a waste of both our times. You don't care about certain things but I do, sums up the entire thing.

OK, what if the Rigases hadn't been crooked and the Adelphia Tower and all those jobs had come to Buffalo? Should that have shielded Rigas if the Sabres were one of the worst teams in the history of the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Not to stir up any trouble, but this is just another example of why I laugh when someone says there is risk involved in buying a sports team. Their prices only go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
