It's very bittersweet for me though. I grew up here, I left at 20 for a year and a half and came back. Got married bought a house had a kid got Sabres season tickets. This move wasn't planned the job pretty much fell into my lap. I personally am not planning on being down there permanently I am hoping this leads to better things and gets me back up here.

Well hey best of luck. Take the good from it. Things could certainly be worse than landing a job in Florida.

I've been saying that since I left active duty in '97. One of these days I'll move back to East Aurora or in that area.

kids are young 1 & 3

i have been to the opry land hotel, but that was a while ago. thanks for the ideas though..

- IndianaSabresFan

I'll get a hold of some friends that have kids that young and ask them about stuff to do. I'll send you a PM if I get any good info from them.

Opryland Hotel flooded in 2010 so they remodeled it a bit.

You era didn't appreciate the original logo (given your age it makes sense) so thats why you like that one. It was better than the slug thats for sure plus you witnessed the Cup Finals in Buffalo in that jersey.

But really that jersey was awful to the original blue and gold faithful

I'm concerned about it. Its the type of thing that may not matter in jr, but might be a huge deal in the pros.

"It’s actually cheaper, say you’re a Rangers fan in New York, for you to book a last-minute round-trip flight to L.A., stay in a hotel, buy two tickets to Game 1 or 2," said Gregoire. "You’d actually save money doing that versus buying two tickets in New York."

There's two thoughts really.

1) How can a teenager not be able to do a pull up?

or

2) With no upper body strength he still is doing a damn fine job, imagine what he'll do if he ever fully develops?

I understood why they did it at the time. New arena, new era in Sabres hockey. It didn't grow on me until the last season they wore it.

Probably just EA. After living in Orlando, Norfolk, San Diego, LA area for the last 30 years... I'd love to get back to the peace and quiet of East Aurora. lol

I'd believe it. I have a friend who works for Cablevision, which gets employee type "discounts" on Stanley Cup tickets...for $954. That being said, given that you probably can fly NY-LA nonstop relatively cheaply out of at least one of the 3 major NY area airports, it's not completely inconceivable given the different price points.

EDIT: maybe not. Cheapest roundtrip flight to LA for the day before and after game 2 is $632 according to Orbitz.

All of them? Myself and maybe 2 others? Too many supporters of Reinhart because he's been in the news one year longer. Slow and soft is what Darcy was fixated on and look where it's gotten us. A chance to draft a guy who can skate, with skills and has balls. I'll take that thanks.

It was a weird dynamic. They were pretty damn good in the years they got the jersey. Then it was sandwiched in between bankruptcy years. Then, many believe they should have one the cup in its last season in the jersey.

I understood as well, I just didn't understand and like the color change.

If they wanted to change the logo I could have lived with it but changing the original colors so drastically didn't make much sense to me.

He went out of his way to sign John Scott and have him take up a roster spot because of one incident almost 1 year before. Problem was he didn't bring in many skilled players whether or not they had balls.

The majority of Darcy years were with teams with speed. It's the very end of his tenure where the team got slower, but also worse in just about every other area as well.

I think they should incorporate the "goat head" in the next turd burger conversation but with blue and gold and see where it goes
