MattPie Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Vs rangers in NYC per WGR. This will be the year we don't match up well against the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLYNNSanity Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 It's a little strange that it is the day after USA vs Canada outdoors in Buffalo though. Why not just have the game in Buffalo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Wonder if we'll be out of the playoff hunt by then. Depends on the coach When do tickets usually go on sale for these things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Balls Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Depends on the coach My thoughts exactly. Was gonna say if it's still DB, then it will most likely be another meaningless game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Why do they insist on doing this stuff in places where it rains more than it snows during the winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 It's a little strange that it is the day after USA vs Canada outdoors in Buffalo though. Why not just have the game in Buffalo? I was thinking the same thing. If you're going to bother doing all the work to setup an outdoor venue at New Era Field, why not use it for an NHL game too?

If you're going to bother doing all the work to setup an outdoor venue at New Era Field, why not use it for an NHL game too? Because it was NYC's turn to *host* a game I guess.

I-90 W Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Man am I pumped for this. The first one was the best one vs the pens (minus Crosby beating Miller). Hope it snows again! Will be looking on stubhub for tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Backyard Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 http://buffalonews.com/2017/03/15/sabres-intrigued-reported-winter-classic-matchup-rangers/ It seems that the WJC outdoor game is actually a hindrance to Winter Classic being played in Buffalo. It's not believed that the facility can turnover to host two 70,000 plus people events in such a short window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd sell. Easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPre Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I just think it's great the Sabres will be in the Winter Classic a second time. May seem pointless to some hockey fans, but many would enjoy having their team in the game. For the Sabres to have their second appearance is very exciting. Place of play isn't going to have an effect on me. Edited March 16, 2017 by GoPre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets the Rags play the Island at Citi Field. All these Winter Classic games should be rivalry games. Although NY vs. NY isn't as big as it used to be.
