Mike Schopp stopped by our tailgate yesterday and we were talking about how soon the Sabres season will get derailed. If Buffalo does not have a decent record by end of November (lots of winnable games IF they are going to be a playoff team), we both thought the season would spiral.

He's probably hoping the Sabres tank so he has more time to devote to fantasy sports 🙉

They are going to get drunk.

I'm guessing the Bandits will outdraw them again this year.

I really do respect your opinion and you are one of my go to posters when I visit the board, but man you are like a reformed smoker.😉

Your observation about me is correct. I have lost patience with this owner. A generation of his foolishness has become intolerable for me. He has eroded what should be a vibrant hockey market to being an apathetic market that is irrelevant to the hockey world. I wish this stubborn and non- talking owner would sail away in his tax write off big boat.

Would you rather they win or be right?

You are being silly.

Watch out for seats made of glass?

He's in 294 leagues, I can't think of anything worse.

I would bet at least 275 are best ball which can be easy pickings for someone with a better educated guess and take little time to get involved in.

Buffalo loves their Sabres. It's that simple 

You don't have to be a winner to get loved by your fan base 

It's not that simple (and I think we all know that), but I love this sentiment just the same.

The tire pumpers are in midseason form.

So the rest of the season will be sold out?

Down, boy. Down.

You know better.

I have no frame of reference for the more typical fan in and around Buffalo, but I suspect Sabrespace is not reflective of the "typical" fan.

VERY true. I often take the light rail as part of my commute home on game nights. I venture that not a single person I see getting on the train headed downtown has ever been on this message board. I envy them.

Given the tenor of this board, I think it’s a little surprising that less than 1000 seats remain for Thursday’s game.

 

Remain? I thought that was the expected attendance

[SHAAAUGHT!!!]

If you get a 10 game flex pack you get the home opener game for free.  Smart move by the Sabres to fill the building up and get more people excited for the season.

Aren’t they making tickets really cheap to entice people?

You may not be aware of it but you were with your response. That's okay. I'm not bothered by it.

It's just when I read screeds like yours, followed by "I hope I'm wrong," I wonder if that's true. it's like the guy who calls WGR and says he's not demanding anyone be fired, but then reads a laundry list of grievances with Sean McDermott and/or Brandon Beane.

Your perspective is different from mine. Go ahead and believe what you want to believe. So be it.
