Well as long as the Sabres aren't down 4-0 by the 12min mark of the 1st. We should have a chance.

I heard from a buddy that the new CEO Roth is going to lead the arena restoration/ possible replacement.

My thing of all the time spent in the arena, yes some restoration has to be done but for me its more just need more than plain open space.

They need to fix the sight lines in the 300's, if possible open it up to allow some sense of viewing from the concession stands. It's super dark too.

200's they have a cool area to the right of paulacup , marty and duffer. Standing room type area to drink beer and get a great view of the game, near the beer stand.

100's fix the bathrooms and clean the seats

Downside of having Anderson as backup. He played his game for the week.

Comrie + UPL split these two games, I'd imagine.

Maybe Anderson Sunday. Typical move would be give him the full week off and the easy start vs Columbus.

Maybe add korposalo as well?

Upgrading the goalie position, seems very inefficient.

Seriously though, adding a nhl goalie with some experience would signify a push for the cup.

More so then chickenman IMO

The 200s are comfy. Friends have done a table at Bandits games for years. The tables are really nice.
The 100s are where the action is at Bandits game though.

Just read that Vasey us 12-1-1 against us. I knew it was bad but damn...
- The_Inkwell


If you've been a goalie in the NHL for the past decade odds are your record against the Sabres is pretty good

Never sat at the tables, they monitor them pretty closely.

The 200's are definitely nice, nobody sitting on top of you.

Hard liquor, if needed. (Not that I'm drinking it)

That area just past marty on the other side of your seats is a cool place stand around and meet up.
Similar view as your seats.

Comrie and UPL's play may factor into it.

Feels like they don't have a #1 atm, but in Donnie's mind, it might still be UPL.

The outrage would be immense and BEttman knows how many eyeballs our fans are to his ratings.

Unless Anderson starts playing more than 1 time a month. Might as well see if UPL develops his game. You can see glimpses of how good he could be. Needs to work on his glove side and his feet.

Talking about Chychrun, I would not like it, but I would trade JJ for Timo. I wouldn't for Chychrun.
- Buff36


Our problem isn't scoring it's keeping pucks out of the net. Chychrun means a ton more sense than Timo:

1. We're already #3 in the league in scoring
2. Our entire prospect pipeline is basically Forwards and one to two goalies/No defense.
3. Chychrun is #2 in the league in defensive and offensive zone entries = elite
4. Chychrun is cost controlled for 2 more years
5. Chychrun allows for a top 4 of Dahlin, Dam, Power and Chychrun. Pushing Joker down to 5, Bush to 6 and gets Bryson out of the picture.

Absolutely agree, I'm wondering if the leafs performance kinda bumps Anderson up and upl down.

Most important game despite 3er's next game up gig, is the caps game IMO. Obviously Florida too.

Donnie likes the heart string starts too.
Anderson vs Ottawa to start
Comrie in the peg

Anderson in florida where he family will attend?
Per chance?

Didn't you say the Sabres haven't won in Sunrise since the 90's? I was like holy poop then looked it up and found out you were full of poop!
