How many games has it been since we have had a winning record? 

The last time we had a winning record was 1-24-2013. We were 2-0 to start the season then lost the next 4 games. We haven't had a winning record since. I believe we are at 375 games and counting.

i am going to do my best to not check the scores because i dont like watching the games when i know the scores for some reason. i use the nhl.tv to watch the games, so i can start the game from the beginning when i get home. i am glad it starts early, but i wish it wasnt 3pm.

Ugh with the 3pm start time. What percent of their audience do they lose just from that alone. 

It's probably the worst possible time in the season to do it too.  You're trying to hook your audience at this point.  That's pretty tough to do when the team is already questionable, but then you add in a game that many won't be able to watch.

Military in Japan have the day off so game time is 4:00 AM.

Where are you located? Just curious as I lived in Tokyo for 7 years on an expat assignment with my company and had various military connections and social experiences.

Is the audience kids off school for Columbus Day perhaps, focus on in-person attendance rather than TV? Just guessing, that seems to strategic and forward looking for Sabres administration.

In Oki. Pretty laid back island.

Gotcha - never got there, always wanted to go. I still go to Asia frequently so maybe someday. Would like to see that massive aquarium with the whale sharks in it. 

Thank you for your service!

Boston has done it for years, so I bet Jacobs pitched the idea to Terry at some point.  I'd be curious to see* how much of a spike they might get at the gate from it.  The parents still need to be off too.

*Not that I'll actually see it, seeing as how I have to work.

It's perfect.

You’re welcome, thank you. The aquarium is huge. It’s something to see when you walk through the glass tunnel.

It absolutely happens every year, usually at 1. The west coast team in opposition explains the later start. 

I love it at 3.  Gives me a chance to get a lot of stuff done before the game.

Also, Nevada will be happy to learn that it has a coast now.
