Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I have to admit the ice girls are nice at the Canes games. Pics, or it didn't happen. Are the Sabres the only NHL team without those things? Or, am I missing something? ----- SDS, :thumbsup: ... on Pommenstein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Ugh, I hate the whiteout gimmick. Even more so now that the home teams wear their dark colored jerseys. Next playoff game buffalo should do a blackout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre Dance Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Along with the other reasons mentioned above, (and I apologize as I have posted this thought before in at least one other thread), Buffalo is a historically tough audience. There was a saying in Vaudeville: "If it will play in Buffalo, It will play anywhere." For whatever reason, it takes a lot to excite a Buffalo crowd. Add in the lousy team, the number of ticket re-sales and everything else and you've got a "dead" arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Next playoff game buffalo should do a blackout. The next playoff game the Panthers should give out T-shirts that look like the seats in their barn; you don't want to confuse the Florida players.

dudacek Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Now, I need to go so that I can make sure my landscaper is putting in the correct shrubs this year, and I need to call our nanny. I wish my Mercedes had a better hands-free device, but I will be at my mansion soon enough. Chet? Is that you? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I can attest to getting "the look" at games when trying to be loud or start a cheer. And this was before they became one of the most unwatchable teams in history. I think a lot of it was tied up in the team (it was very mediocre at the time) but it happened at each game I went to. I do expect a more spirited crowd if/when the team is good, but that doesn't make criticisms of the crowd in recent years untrue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I've seen games in The Joe, Maple Leaf Garden, and in The Boston Garden, as well as in many of the newer arenas. The intimacy can't be replicated in larger venues. Trade offs. Bucket List: seeing a game in the 15,000 seat MTS Arena.

Patty16 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 As someone who sits in the lower bowl -- row 4-- maybe some people down there are like that, but that doesn't speak to me. I sit there because although seeing the play develop is a little more challenging, seeing someone get jacked into the boards is incredible. The action is awesome! Don't get me wrong, I can still see the play develop, just not as easily as someone looking down on the play. Now, I need to go so that I can make sure my landscaper is putting in the correct shrubs this year, and I need to call our nanny. I wish my Mercedes had a better hands-free device, but I will be at my mansion soon enough. I will defend that this behavior exists. Pisses me off that it's even an issue. I mentioned the a-hole Sabres fan that was upset when the "Let's Go Buffalo" chant got going at the last game. The kicker is that if you continue to disrupt someone's game day experience, security views you as the problem, not the stiff who refuses to get out their seat and enjoy the game. Yea i don't think income has anything to do with it.... after all the sabres are in the middle of the league when it comes to ticket prices. I think the arena itself doens't lend itself to sounding loud ie winnipeg or the aud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also at 2 games in Raleigh in the 2006 ECF. Much louder in Carolina for every goal the Canes scored. FNC really is fairly cavernous.

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 It sounded loud when Derek Plante scored in overtime of Game 7. Yes it was....and when Dumont scored in '06....and Shields went after Garth in Ted's 2nd playoff series...... This thread does my heart good. The end started in the middle of '06-'07......there was hope last year for a bit, but the last 2 months of the regular season this year was the death rattle.

Great to see you! Honored to have you back for arguments sakes. As your avatar indicates though, there will be rainbows and unicorns soon. Sunshine too! I was at that game. I was also at 2 games in Raleigh in the 2006 ECF. Much louder in Carolina for every goal the Canes scored. FNC really is fairly cavernous. The building was damn loud here during that series. Don't know if you were here in person for any of the games but we all know tv does a poor , really poor job of transferring the real noise when it we make it. I have not heard it like it was in 2006 ECF since then. I got no problem with the place in that moment. It was rockin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
