Brawndo Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 (edited) The night Zach Benson was drafted. He was asked by the Sportsnet panel if he was excited about becoming a member of Bills mafia. He mentioned he is a huge Allen fan. He had to be so frigging pumped to hear Allen to talk this way about him. Edited June 7 by Brawndo 1 2 2 Quote
thewookie1 Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 That's cool, feel a little bad for Timmons though lol. But honestly Benson and Allen would probably love to be teammates since both of them play without limiters. 1 Quote

I'm impressed a Central Valley kid knows enough hockey to get what Zach does. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 Sometimes I sit back and think that in any other timeline, Zach Benson probably either just played his rookie year or is about to and I smile. Sky's the limit. 5 3 Quote
Eleven Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 It's kind of cool that the one guy was wearing Allen's number. Quote
msw2112 Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 (edited) I love seeing this kind of stuff. Buffalo being a small market may have its disadvantages, but for stuff like this, being a smaller market and having common ownership is a plus. Not all NHL players would have access to the best and one of the most famous players in the NFL. For a young guy in his 20's, this has to be a pretty cool experience. I'm sure the Bills players enjoy it when they get the suite at a Sabres game. It's not to say that NFL players can't afford great seats to a hockey game - they certainly can - but suites might all be taken up by big corporations and the opportunity may simply not present itself. And I'm sure that for the Bills players that come to the Sabres game, everything is taken care of for them. I suspect they show up at the building and are escorted to the suite, provided with jerseys and hats, have free food and drink, etc. - the full VIP treatment. Edited June 5 by msw2112 Quote

Sky's the limit. A member of the Pittsburgh Front Office reportedly dropped an audible F Bomb as the Sabres Staff got up from the draft table to make the 13th pick and they realized who the pick was. The same member reached out to a Sabres Staffer and remarked in a different timeline we have Zach Benson and Helenius on our roster. 2 2 3 Quote

transient Posted June 6 Report Posted June 6 Would have been awesome if, in exchange for the Bills jerseys, Timmons presented them with the white trash Benson t-shirts. 1 Quote
