there is room now, more than ever IMO for the xfl or another crack at the usfl


honestly, if the usfl did not try to switch to the fall schedule, they may have survived

some markets, they were getting over 40 k a game

- homiedclown

Some dumb (frank) pushed for that, even supplied the lawyers to sue the NFL...

As much as I enjoy the nfl, fantasy football and the bills. It's getting old.

The replays, overturned calls and delays suck the life out of the sport.
The fighting and injuries are a complete turn off.
Maybe I'm old

bigger news

xfl may be coming back

- homiedclown


Vince McMahon has to be smarter than that. Look what he did with WWE, it's still somehow relevant, I guess there will always be 13 year old boys, but still, he's made a couple of guys legit stars, The Rock, John Cena.

How could he be so stupid as to reboot the XFL, but he just sold like $200M worth of stuff to get ready to do something.

Why would a Russian kid with no ties to the Sabres be training in Buffalo?

They’re trying to pretend that they have him already just like that Connor McDavid draft lol

There are clearly 3-5 outstanding high pick guys this year. Jbotts is all over it. What an advantage to have the tournament in our buildings.

Tpegs - combine, draft and world juniors.
He's trying to make us a hockey hotbed
Wait to the sabres finally turn it around

Enter the tank

I'm pretty sure just about every NHL GM is here.

What Pegula is doing with USA Hockey and the Combine is nice. In fact, it's awesome. but the advantage is gives the Sabres over the rest of the league is minimal, if not non-existent.

The future of the sabres gets a boost from introducing the young talent to wny and the facalities. I'm guessing many of the young players will be wowed by the harbor center, weight and training room as well as the locker rooms.
Maybe all the nhl teams have nice stuff, but some kid from chek republic has no idea.

I though at the combine we were able to take advantage of the offices for additional interviews ect.? Maybe I'm wrong

Most of these young players have no say as to where they go initially. The only ones who would are your one-offs like Jimmy Vesey and Will Butcher, but those are merely one out of many. A kid can be wowed by the Buffalo facilities all he wants, but if the Arizona Coyotes want to draft him, he is going to Glendale...or Seattle...or Quebec...or wherever they end up.

P.S. did you sell the rest of your Winter Classic tickets?

I was in montreal a few years ago when the world juniors were there and met some of the guys from the slovakian team. They all spoke very highly of the sabres and that's even during the tank era.

That's a good point, but not all of these guys will be drafted. Free agents now no where buffalo is and what we are about.

I remember Thurman thinking it was cool that he could go to the Knicks games when he was drafted. He had no idea where buffalo was in ny.

All good points.
Maybe an example would be antipin.

I did sell the tix. 1st 3 for $250 next 2 for $184 then the last 3 for 189. I was happy to get rid of them. I got worried on christmas eve and hit the panic button a bit. All on stubhub. Lost an average of $10 or so each. Any luck with yours?

Speaking of Buffalo, whoever did the scheduling for the World Juniors dropped the ball as far as USA Hockey is concerned. The outdoor game is Friday. Canada plays Slovakia tomorrow, and has off Thursday. The US is off tomorrow and plays Slovaka Thursday night. They should have reversed that. Canada has an extra day to practice on the outdoor rink and get used to the surroundings. I'm not sure how much of a big deal that might make, but I would think Canada has at least a little bit of an advantage there. If I am USA Hockey, I would want my team to have that schedule.
