Nicely done. Hopefully Bills fans bought them

it's a rigged system


most of the tickets go to the black market 30 minutes after they go on sale

the day of overnight camping to get tickets at the box office is now dead

Especially with the bots that buy up tons of tickets as soon as they go on sale. At least that's how concerts are, not sure about NFL.

I would be buying a nice bottle and a couple juicy ribeyes for the game if I had the foresight to do that

If this is the case, then:

They both bring energy, and discipline in playing.

Risto is not untouchable.
- SABRES 89


I would argue that he absolutely is. The kid is 23 and logging more minutes than 99% of the league. You will never get a return equal to his worth.

I’m not saying he is great.
He’s a fourth liner playing with Larsons who has what 6 pts in 40 games?
JC , of course his stats suck, the whole team sucks stats wise.
I could care less if he plays or not, but he ain’t the reason they suck.
That’s all, nothing more nothing less.

He brings absolutely NO Value to this team, why are you even defending him? His biggest attribute is he skates & Competes hard???? Good lord....

This.

It happens with literally everything. Videogames, tickets, etc...

Pokemon celebrated it's 20th anniversary last year and distributed cards through GameStop with redemption codes on them to get Legendary Pokemon... And GameStop employees promptly stole entire packages of the promotion cards and put them up on ebay for $5.00 a card. One employee could have easily made $500.00 off a single package of the damn things, not to mention, there's still millions of people who play the games regularly, so you "misplace" a few stacks of them and you're up by several paychecks on the side.

anyone see that Ek is suggesting that Bogo and Kane are garnering interest from the Kings?

I would be intrigued to get both of them shipped out in the same deal, similar to how they were brought in.

I think fortunately or unfortunately, he is Dion Phaneuf 2.0

His ceiling has been reached already and he will never fall below a top-4 role on any team.

I'm a fourth liner on a two line team.

I feel bad for my teammates regularly.

Given the head-scratching personnel decisions we have seen over the past couple of seasons, this is not necessarily the case.

That said, life would be great if "who is better, Jordan Nolan or Scott Wilson" was the biggest issue plaguing this team.

they are the least of our issues


I still see no reason to give up a 5th round pick for a guy to keep the seat warm in the presser though

I think I answered your question in my post.
There are bigger issues than Scott Wilson on this team
He is at the bottom of the list of passengers, just a spot ahead of Jordan Nolan.

Dwayne Allen, Bills won't win another game. Say you don't know poop about football and leave it at that.

He also becomes the best use of a 5th round pick by the Sabres since Ryan Miller

I can't project injuries my dude. Julio LTE v 1.0 will be just fine. LTE v 2.0 will be even better. I hype him more than a year ago and all the experts are now following.

I think he got this Bogo, ahem, BS maybe, from the lead guy at the Fourth Period who mentioned it in Twitter on a give and take with fan the other day just tossing crap at the wall when he said I wonder if the Kings don't look at the Sabres for D. He said something like Josh Gorges as a cheap trade and Bogo the bigger one.
