Darren Dreger drops a bit of a bomb while on with @nielsonTSN1260 right now, saying Ottawa and Edmonton were close on a Cody Ceci for Taylor Hall (and it may have been 1 for 1)
You mean to tell me we couldn't beat Cody ceci or Larson

Three maligned Sabres scored last nighr in
- Scandella
- Larssons
- Wilson
Eventually, I would hope our 4th line looks something like
Player X - Josefson - ERod
Or flip ERod and Player X
Wouldn't necessarily mind Girgenson to be Player X
On the attendance issue for the Juniors, there were a few issues I would have addressed. First and foremost is the raping of the attendees by concessions. This is a junior hockey tournament and they were charging professional championship prices. I spend probably $30-$50 a game on concessions for the Sabres and Bills games and have accepted that as the way it works nowadays. However, if I was going to a minor league game or in this case a junior hockey tournament, I would expect to pay less than half of that. This is a tweet from the Cincinnati Cyclones:
TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!!! 🐻🐻🐻 Toss, $1 🍕, 🌭, 🍺, and soda, AND the #CincyCyclones will be wearing specialty jerseys that will be auctioned off following the game! Get your 🎫 at (513) 421-PUCK! https://t.co/MzBsWlKIse
$1 pizza, beer and soda. I would go to every game I could.
Next, I think that they should have had cheap package deals for youth hockey teams to go to games. There are thousands of kids playing in the WNY area and they are the ones that could fill the seats and make it a loud atmosphere. A lot of time they wouldn't even care who's playing. They are the ones who are dreaming of playing in a tournament like this someday.
The biggest issue is everyone is looking to turn everything into a big payday rather than making it a great event. If you sell 4000 tickets for $40/piece it equals 16,000 tickets for $10/piece. Which would look better? Not to mention the concession totals for 4000 people versus 16,000 people.
The two finest Saturday morning cartoons of all time were: 1) the Flintstones and 2) the original Scooby Doo. I am too old and lazy to figure out how to insert a pic of these gems.
It's all about being at the right places at the wrong times
