LTS Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'd wonder if all the January stubs are like that. You'd think they use an automated system to print that feeds from a database so it would have January only entered once and if they misspelled it there it should appear on all January tickets.

PASabreFan Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 That's an exaggeration. A double homicide would. Or ties to the underworld. A DWI hit and run of a religious sister. I have it on good authority when she runs into Tops to get Terry his donut with sprinkles, she does NOT use the little tissue, she reaches in with her bare hand!

MBHockey13 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have to admit, my feelings about Kim Pegula have changed from "Absolutely Adore" to "Absolutely Adore Because I Have Already Forgot About This Stupid Fake Controversy I Never Cared About In The First Place".

I used to see her walking across an icy parking lot. She never fell, but she teetered. Her balance wasn't too bad, but I'm talking down the myth that she was always graceful. It wasn't graceful. It wasn't Bambi trying to stand with Thumper laughing, but it wasn't graceful.

Lemming. It's fine if you live in a world where months are abbreviated, and Jerseys aren't retired. But that isn't our world is it? The tide is turning my friend, the tide is turning.

PASabreFan Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) The Sabres got a little heat from the local arts community for a painting of Dom unveiled during or around the ceremony. The painting was done by an artist from California, not a local. Oh, they were up in arms. Faces were pastel with rage. Anywho, it didn't take long for the Sabres to throw Dom under the bus for that one, explaining that it was Dom himself who chose the artist. It reinforces my thought that if Dom had requested a toned-down ceremony, we would have heard about it by now.

The Panthers game on 1/2 had January spelled correctly. So no data on how they screwed it up for the Detroit game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd submitted one from a local guy and Dom chose a different submission. http://www.buffalonews.com/columns/colin-dabkowski/art-community-urges-sabres-to-go-local-20150125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for him to bitch about Leroy Neiman painting OJ instead of some guy outside of Bethune Hall at UB.Lol I get the idea of wanting to hire local people where possible for these things (and in general I think it's a great idea), but in this case the criticism is a bit unfair since it wasn't their call. I think Jo's rendition would've been better, though. Edit: I should clarify that I don't think local people should automatically get the gig; just that if there's a qualified person who is local, they should be considered. Whether or not they are selected based on any number of project criteria should depend on the strength of their proposal, just like anyone else.

This is the longest PR losing streak in team history. Next thing you know they will fire the Earl of Bud. They are ham-handed for sure. We probably have 8-10 solid examples of how not to treat your fan base, from unnecessarily jacking up ticket prices after historically bad seasons to the turdburger to the Hasek ceremony. There's a problem here. But when companies don't feel they have to do anything to get your business, this is what happens. Laziness, sloppiness and mediocrity.

I wonder if winning franchises have just as many or more blunders, but people just don't care because, well, you know, they are winning franchises.

They would have burned down Montreal if the Habs had honored Jean Beliveau the way the Sabres honored Hasek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, local artists aren't buying too many season tickets. Except for......this guy. Nice fellow. Great artist. Season ticket holder. Passionate fan. You can meet him in the 100s. http://judsonfinearts.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league as a whole is pretty well run. Buffalo too. Buffalo offers a lot more fan opportunities than most franchises, so for perspective, there is that much more to go wrong.Not an excuse, but in comparison to other franchises, Buffalonians have remarkable access to the team and the game. Bad banner ceremony. Yeah, they fumbled. But organizationally the teams footprint on the community is incredibly broad compared to any other US franchise. There is that much more to go wrong, when you are doing to do much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
