Good. I just don't get it. Like you said "garbage" is hyperbole, but definitely overrated.

I'd rather listen to:

These guys are the best thing to come out of Buffalo since air conditioning

Could have ownership been calling the shots?

Darcy did really like vanek. Hard to say what really went on behind closed doors.

Why wouldn't he want both drury and brierre if possible?
Was he the only guy on the planet that didn't notice they were good at hockey?

His hands were tied to some degree. In my opinion

100% "Gallysano" wouldn't let him negotiate mid-season/the year before deals were up like when Briere allegedly said he would do 4x$4M during the year before his post lockout deal was up, so they could also keep Drury, but Darcy wasn't allowed to do deals ahead of time. Then he signed that 1 for $5M the next year and the rest is history.

300 row 2 is the worst season ticket in the building.

End zone 312, 313, 314 , 326, 327and 300 are $30 each.
Even for row 3

Row 2 , $52 each I believe. So $22 × 41 x 2 seats.
For a cushioned seat.

Don't they have like an extra inch or 2 of legroom too? Or maybe they're wider. I thought it was more than just a cushion, which is nice, but not $22 a game nice.

300 level doesn't have cup holders either. What's up with that?

Yeah, the song is ok. I don't think Radiohead are bad, just supremely overrated.

Ok, I just knew it came from the top. Larry Quinn pretty much acted as the owner anyway. Wasn't he managing partner or something?

He was the President in the early 90's (pre Rigas) then was the managing partner/acting president (post Rigas) and was then given a partial stake in ownership later like 3% or something

Suppose the Sharks had buyers remorsqe with Burns. Would anyone take that contract on?

Well there's a lot of instances of them kicking fans/phones out of their hands at shows. But one of my friends who works at a bar said the vocalist came in with a bunch of people, bought them all shots, made a big deal about who he was, then left without paying

That's the Goo Goo Dolls. My dad and uncle actually used to be friends with them and shared a practice space

He is very good. I was reading the sharks thread where they said they have another offensive defenseman in the system, and it's tough to work him in with Burns. Then I looked at his contract amount and length. It's gonna be questionable in 4years at 8 mil imo

If we come out of the gate flying next year I'd consider taking it on. But the potential lockout makes it even less desirable

That's the thing. They'd probably be selling high, so you'd have to give up a ton, but you know that the back end of the contract could look bad.
