PASabreFan Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Regular season, of course. Can you name the location and/or opponent (bonus points for the result)? Hints: There have been eight games. The games came in three bunches separated by as little as one day and as much as two years. Four games in the first bunch, then two and two. Three different owners for each bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 My recollection is that they played a couple of games in Germany a few years ago. Are you counting the outdoor games in the two Winter Classic's as "neutral"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 There were two games vs the Kings to start a season somewhere neutral....but where? Without google I couldn’t say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Two in Paul Hamilton, Ontario. And one in a then-former, now current NHL city, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played another Cali team the day before in another European city. 13 minutes ago, Eleven said: Two in Paul Hamilton, Ontario. And one in a then-former, now current NHL city, right?

Eleven Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Just now, LTS said: The Ducks in Prague? They are especially delicious. The Czechs prepare them with a seasoning unlike anything we have in the States, and then they sauté them so lightly. It's such a tender dish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain still only remembers the Kings though. I do remember winning both games and getting my hopes up. Fooled I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea whether the Sabs played in Prague, but Ehrhoff is why the Sabres played at Adler Mannheim, I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Eleven has become Whimsical Eleven. I hear Hal 9000, slightly buzzed. ********* Is Rochester a neutral site?

Don’t remember but Elliotte Friedman wrote about it after the game in Saskatchewan. I guess the turnout was below expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sabres left, and the league decided that some weird regular season game would be played here, I wouldn't go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Remember when Ville Leino opened the year with a goal but then it felt like he never scored again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
