topshelfcookies Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hey everyone, after reading the brief article about the Sabres locker room rennovations I'm wondering if anyone knows where we can get some pics of the new "vault like" door. For anyone who hasn't a clue what I'm talking about, the article is here... http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20061001/1009214.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Sounds pretty sweet, I'd love to see some pics as well... (Not looking forward to seeing the slug on top of the scoreboard, though...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, quick question - why does the slug...err buffalo appear to have two different color horns? One is white, the other is yellow? I honestly didn't notice that until I saw it brought up on another message board... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screamin'Weasel Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Wow, that slug is larger than life... BTW, quick question - why does the slug...err buffalo appear to have two different color horns? One is white, the other is yellow? I honestly didn't notice that until I saw it brought up on another message board... Look again and I think you will see there is only one horn. It is white and has silver highlights. Also, the head is a profile, not 3/4 view as far as I can see. The second "horn" is different shaped, colored and placed. It also has nothing to distinguish it from the head to show it as being behind the head. Therefore, as Mr Homes said often, "If you eliminate all the possibilities, the only thing left, despite it's improbability, has to be the solution." In other words, it's not a horn, but rather a tuft of mane flowing backward to indicate speed. Just another reaason to dislike the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost as dumb as having a centre ice slug different from the one of the jersey.... :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickdraw Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Are we going to be treated to smoke blowing out of the nostrils of the Buffalo anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfend Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 the new logo will still have smoke out the nostrils and the light up red eyes, but that just doesnt look as good as the goathead on top of the scoreboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 The scoreboard....You mean This Is that a new 4 sided scoreboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegas4BOC Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Is that a new 4 sided scoreboard?First, I haven't been to Sabres game since I came back for a visit in 1982 at The Aud, so I keep up over all these years watching on TV. I thought I had read year's back that the HSBC Arena scoreboard is modeled after the old Blue & Gold scoreboard from the Aud days.....no?? I also recall that the scoreboard fell sometime around when HSBC was opened or soon to be opened? Someone tell the story of the scoreboard, thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcrusho Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Watch Channel 2 tonight.... They had their camera pointed straight at the door this AM so I assume they were doing a story on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone tell the story of the scoreboard, thanks. :) I don't know if I ever saw the pre-fall scoreboard, but the one they've had since then was 8 sided. 4 sides were tv/jumbotron screen, the other 4 were ugly matrix boards. That picture made it look like they now have a 4 sided board, with just the tv screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I believe this year when we score, slug snot will shoot from the arse of the logo and onto the ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
