sweetlou Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I'm going with another big win...6-2 home team. Sabres rattle off four in a row by beating MTL and CBJ on the road to get fans believing again before losing three in a row to CAR, FLA, and TBL! It's just what this team does.

Could you imagine being a fan on the left coast having to tune in at 9:30 am? About the same as a fan on the right coast having to tune in at 10:30 pm to watch the Sabres play? I'll trade you no Monday afternoon games when east coast teams host west coast teams for a few weekend afternoon games when west coast teams host east coast teams? 🤝 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI: If the game is going bad you can switch to the NHL Network which is showing the Amerks at Toronto game at 2pm EST. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 It's a holiday in most of Canada too. Heritage Day here in NS.

Pimlach Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 (edited) It’s Youth Hockey Day in Sabre Land. Since the early 70’s the Sabres PR department, under the excellent leadership of Paul Wieland, started a free afternoon open Sabres practice for the kids. Many kids that I knew never went to real Sabres game back then because every game was sold out, 16,433 in The Aud every game. So this was a way for kids to see the team and for the players to reach out. They practiced drills, played a blue gold scrimmage, and Paul would put on his pads. These were great events, lots of fun, and always filled to capacity. Perhaps some of the old timers here attended one, they first occurred over Christmas break when schools were closed. The community really loved this team, Gilbert, Rico, Rene, Schoeny, Kong, Luce, Rammer, etc. I guess all this died out and morphed into matinee games, kids day, and today’s matinee targets specifically - Youth Hockey Day. The crowd today will consist mostly of young families with kids. Lots and lots of local youth hockey boys and girls will be there wearing their team’s jersey and cheering for the Sabres. Within those kids there may possibly be a few future players, and hopefully even some future fans. The Sabres better be ready to play hard, be positive role models, put on a good show, win a home game, and acknowledge those kids in the crowd afterward. If that’s not the tradition anymore then it should be. Edited February 19 by Pimlach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
