shrader Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 How many people have been to one of these events? I saw the ad during the game for the upcoming event in Raleigh and immediately picked up a ticket. RJ in town, it’s an absolute must to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was at the Harp, of course. Disco Dan was there. Gave me the death stare when I asked him a question. Very relatable. Rob Ray tried to avoid folks by staying behind a table. Everyone else was nice, especially Danny Gare. Edited October 19, 2022 by PromoTheRobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres coaches, alumni and broadcasters come to a bar during an off-night on the road to meet fans. Next one is in Raleigh on Nov 3. It's a ticketed event. https://www.nhl.com/news/buffalo-sabres-road-crew-raleigh-north-carolina-november-3-2022/c-335653436 Edited October 19, 2022 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawerchuk Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 If you get a chance to go, you shouldn't miss it. I went to the last two in Las Vegas and both were great. Met Rob Ray, Marty Biron, Don Luce, Rick Martin, Rick Jeanerrette, JP Dumont, Jason Dawe, Danny Gare, Rhett Warrener, Jordan Leopold, Grant Fuhr, Duffer, Clint Marlarchuk and current GM Kevyn Adams. Its usually about 2-3 hours held at a bar or restaurant. There is a VIP package you can buy which includes the buffet. I just got a regular ticket both times. All the players are friendly and never felt out of place making conversation with any of them. Its a cool experience and they usually have raffle prizes and trivia. Totally worth it and lots of fun. Don't miss it especially if RJ is in attendance. LETS GO BUFFALO! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg17 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I went in DC 2018. Very fun time. Everyone was friendly and Marty will talk your ear off. He’s the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted November 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Well my night started off well. They had a surprise autographed puck purchase. I thought mine was #92 and I was a bit confused thinking it might be Thompson. But I flipped it over and realized it was a 26 Dahlin. So that was a great start. I also now have my old 43 red Brion jersey signed. It was a great time all around. The most enjoyable parts were probably JP Dumont and Jason Dawe just mingling completely separate from the rest of the event. I’m so glad I got the chance to enjoy this event. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted November 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Sorry for 4 posts in a row, but I feel like this story is worth the share. So I'm at the urinal when all of a sudden someone asks me "please tell me they gave you that jersey today". I turn my head to look... JP Dumont. I absolutely hate having any conversation while in a public restroom, but I'll give a free pass to JP. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
