PASabreFan Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Apparently I've zoomed right ahead to acceptance — or I'm in a form of bargaining (God, make Rick reconsider after the season or at least agree to do any Cup-clinching games in the future, assuming vital signs allow). Anywho... I'm not sure. Chicago seems like a good fit on a Friday with the assurance of a decent crowd that will be Rick-friendly, even if they're in Hawks sweaters. Philly works as well. I hope it's sold out. And raucous for Rick. Edited August 21, 2021 by PASabreFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) I’d be surprised if Rick’s finale wasn’t the Sabres season home finale. Edited August 21, 2021 by Weave 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is at home & it is "fan appreciation night" (yeah, right, appreciation <_<). That is typically a fun atmosphere regardless how awful the season has gone; wouldn't expect any other night for him to "drop the mic." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Final home game of the season seems like it should be it. So, April 29th versus the Hawks. I would be surprised if it was any other game, unless something happens along the way that would prevent it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a no-brainer. I don't see why Rick would necessarily get the last game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the Sabres have some playoff runs in the next couple of years, I have to hope Rick would be open to multiple guest appearances. And to that end- that recent game when Jim Lorentz dropped by was magical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted August 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'm starting to feel the Flyers game. Would Rick himself rather close with Philly, which has some obvious historic appropriateness, or Chicago? (The Isles game works for this angle, too, given the early playoff matchups between the teams.) Also, assuming there's going to be a whole night devoted to Rick, how would that work on Fan Appreciation Night? PHILLY! And I'm suddenly so confident, I will wager that bet with @Taro T. (The charity is my account at The Hair Club for "Men.") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Really hoping that after his "last game" he works out a deal with the Sabres to still call the home opener & fan appreciation night in the future. Will keep him alive longer. Really believe that he is his work & when he doesn't have anymore to look forward to ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
