Could've made at least $200 over my price; but there was no way to miss tonight. Bring your derision to the scalpers like PTR. Don't have time for it. Nope. Absolutely not giving you crud for showing up ?? Telling the board “#### all of you” kinda not cool, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one of you could've bought a ticket the Loafs fans bought. It was one of the loudest the Sabres fans have been at games this season, and we only had 1,000 in the crowd. I agree completely with you Taro. As a matter of fact, I had 200 level tickets to tonights game. I sold them to Toronto fans. I make no bones about it. I had no engagements which prevented me from going to the game.I paid 207 dollars for 4 tickets, myself, my significant other and my 2 daughters, 23 and 15. My 23 yr old played for NU women's, she's an ardent fan. Here is the kicker, we've done this over the course of the past 4 years, sometimes pack purchases, sometimes individual games, only 1 or 2 through out the season. It's not that we can't financially afford it, it's the product on the ice. And I know you've heard it a thousand fold times before, but that product on the ice does matter. I sold my tickets this evening, all 4, 200 level, for 475 dollars each, after paying 207 dollars each for them. I don't need the money Taro, we are doing just fine, but, the offer was made through a friend and all 3 of my family didn't want to go, I was the only one who did. The reason? Well, my daughters both say they hate the losing. My significant other says she can find better things to do with her time. It is, what the product is. Just like anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheapest seats were half of the total amount of money in my name currently And hope the overreaction to the post that spurred the post you responded to didn't cause you consternation. But am very tired of listening to (reading) this thought that somehow season ticket holders are the driver of visiting crowds overtaking our rink. Sure, there are scalpers like PTR, but MOST STHers want to watch the games. That they can get 4x their cost to sell to short bus fans isn't their fault. It's a reality of the market. And that the short bus fans price Sabres fans out also is the reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, our Sabres won this game. And some of us were actually there cheering them on. Glad your ticket takers were Sabres fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were good enough we would have won anyway. Wasn't as egregious as the Leafs forum thinks, which dedicated four full pages of GDT to a legal, unremarkable body check by a Sabre I would say things were missed in accordance to the way things are missed in a playoff hockey game. Basically only egregious penalties or those that are in and around the net during a scoring opportunity were generally called. But yes, I would imagine Leafs fans would be upset. When the officials screw their team on a Stanley Cup clinching goal, I'll almost feel sorry for them. 52 minutes ago, Taro T said: #### all of you. We were out numbered 19-1.

I get you are fired up and all, but I'm not doling out $70 per ticket before fees to get the cheapest seat in the house. It only goes up from there. That the Leafs fans will pay exorbitant amounts of money to travel to Buffalo to see their team speaks of the passion of the fan base and the nature of capitalism. It blows.. no doubt. Perhaps only allow STH to redeem tickets for the games against the Leafs and Canadiens in person at the box office? Or allow them to be traded in for some value so the Sabres could control the sale of the tickets? Not gonna try and solve the problem. Keep beating the Leafs and less of their fans will want to show up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say they Sabres' disruptive defense in the neutral zone played a big part in that. When they *did* get set up in the O-zone, Toronto was scary. Luckily the Sabres were able to avoid that most of the night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres could win the cup and Leafs fans will still invade. Only one way to let them know whose barn it is. Fear. Start burning effigies of Matthews and his little sister Marner.

French Collection Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 I watched the whole game without posting, I wanted the full Sportsnet experience. Just kidding. I hate Greg Millen, the Leafblower. The Sabres shut him up and all he talked about in the last 10 minutes was about potential Leaf trades and all of their cap space. Buffalo kicked butt, they responded to that brief pushback perfectly, thank you Jack. I will have a lovely day tomorrow, when I cannot take a step without tripping over a Leafs fan. They are already pointing to them being in third place but they are nervous. Even if no one passes them they do not look like a team that can win playoff hockey. I also chirp them with enjoying Matthews while you can because they will have to trade him in 3-4 years or he will Tavares them. Drives them nuts, why someone doesn’t want to be a Leaf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how long the delay was heading the other way. It was holiday weekend traffic coupled with the hockey crowd traffic that resulted in a longer wait time. I was actually surprised how relatively quickly it cleared. Fans might have started using the northern bridges to get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
