Yup, you are correct. The arena is a dump and Delaware north food sucks.

Been saying for a month or so Johnson was gonna sign. Unfortunately could be a reason Adams hasn't improved his bottom pairing.
- Buff36

Yeah, I wasn’t too worried.

I still feel decently good about portillo. I give portillo 65% chance of signing

Do U have a link or can you summarize how you know he hates captain pubes for hair?

One question about his early days in Buffalo. His answer came along the lines of "we would talk to each other because we all went through it together. we would say pretty soon we're going to be the leaders of this team and it won't be this way."


then a specific question about a story Sam txted them about Dahlin paying $20,000 for suits his rookie season. As soon as they mentioned it, "That was Eichel's fault. I was rookie and didn't own a suit and asked him where to go. He said his guy would take care of me. Came to my house showed me some stuff and I bought 3 suits. I got a bill for $20,000."

They moved on to other topics. It was quick, but you could tell Jack ain't high on his list of good people.

I refuse to eat at the arena. And some arenas do have solid food


Bills and Sabres games are terrible examples of game day food.

Went to a Caps game a month ago, and they had plenty of good food options, including Korean BBQ, Chinese, Japanese, a burger bar and more.

Best food I ever had at a sporting event was at a burger place in Petco Park (San Diego). But it was like $800 for a burger so there really is no winning

Sabres prospect Matt Savoie ‘just scratching the surface’ as he finds another gear

So Savoie is refining his game here in Winnipeg under the guidance of Patrick, who played more than 1,200 NHL games and more than 300 of those with the Sabres. After a 90-point season a year ago, he’s scoring at a similar rate this season. The production wasn’t there early in the year, but Patrick thinks Savoie has found a different gear since the new year.

“I haven’t seen any better (in the WHL),” Patrick said. “I know (Connor) Bedard has been on a tear since he got back from world juniors. Next to him, I haven’t seen a better player than Sav.”

What stands out to Patrick is the way Savoie can shut down another team’s top line. Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams has referred to the competitiveness with which Savoie plays, and that’s been on display for the Ice. Patrick routinely uses him to take away the best player on another team and likes having him on the penalty kill.

“I felt in the first half of the year he would get a point or two a game,” Patrick said. “He’d make one real good play, a top-end play, but I think he should be making seven or eight of them a game. I know he had a game this year where he got six points. I had kind of been waiting for that type of game up until that point. I don’t know if that was a turning point because I know the next night he had a tough night. But I know he’s just pushing himself to be a dominant player. He’s not content. He’s not happy with where he’s at. He wants to get better, but his confidence has gone to another level right now.”

This boost in confidence and production coincided with Savoie being left off Canada’s roster for the World Junior Championship. Savoie wasn’t even invited to the selection camp.

“I don’t know how he doesn’t get invited to the camp,” Patrick said. “They made the right decision because in the end they won. I think they said these six or seven guys are going to be our offensive guys and then we’re picking checkers and energy guys and penalty killers. And that’s how they put the team together. Is he better than players who are on that team? Yes. It’s not even close. I think he’s used that rejection in his favor. It’s motivated him to be as good as he has.”

Savoie watched the tournament from home to cheer on his friends who were on the team and support his country. But he also acknowledged that he’s been driven to further show that he is every bit as good, if not better, than players who were picked for that team. He has 13 goals and 15 assists in the 18 games since the calendar flipped to 2023.

“I think the biggest thing is just possessing the puck more, having the puck on my stick and making them come take it off of me instead of throwing a blind pass in the middle or just making a turnover,” Savoie said. “I think at the next level, keeping puck possession is so important. When you first enter the NHL or AHL, wherever it is, you don’t get as many puck touches. I think making the most of whenever you have the puck and whenever you have possession.”

Savoie noted he’s started to feel the impact of all the time spent in the gym getting stronger. After spending most of the summer rehabbing a shoulder injury, he didn’t have the time to build as much muscle as he would have with a healthy summer. Patrick said he wants to see Savoie continue to build his stamina so that he can continue to make plays when he’s been on the ice 30 or 40 seconds.

“When he’s exhausted can he still make plays?” Patrick said. “You look at the great players, they do that.”

Went to the leafs arena for the first time.... ever (im Canadian from Southern Ontario) the food they serve is 1million times better than the Sabres concession stands.

Seating in that arena is far worse though

Yeah, I wasn’t too worried.

I still feel decently good about portillo. I give portillo 65% chance of signing
- Sabretooth9

Surprised I have not heard a peep about him, Levi is a lock but haven't heard anything on Portillo

I've sat Legends 3 times for the Yankees. Friggen marvelous. Basically anything you want. And you stuff your pockets with candy when you head out to your seat. Only thing you pay for is booze. all the pop you could ask for though.

And, no, I don't pay for these. One of my best friends works for Verizon and is able to get the seats on occasion. Kind of an amazing perk because it's not like he's in charge of a thousand people or something. he's not a schlep, but he ain't C suite by any means.

Oh my!! So what's the plan lon. Adams gonna ride this out, or does he make a little move to help for a run.
- Buff36

Ya know, I wish I could project what they will do.
Like most, think it will be a relstively minor move

it's always about who pays the highest fees for the concession, not the best food. Same in MTL...

Livingstone is interesting and there a couple LD that could help depth wise.

Almost like someone posted a bunch of names couple days ago and people skipped right over it

Pirates club level is damn good!

The paint can has a few great local restaurants (the yard, permantis, burgertory, milk shake factory, some good pizza).

Every year I say I'm driving to Pittsburg for a game at that new PNC park. I still haven't made it.

Free corporate food doesn't count.

There are two huge banquet halls with carved meat. seafood. hamburgs. hotdogs. really anything you want. the ice cream. oh the ice cream. Italian ice.

The first game got rained out, and we got to go back. I've never been so happy for a rainout.

This version of Yankee Stadium has nothing like the atmosphere of the old, but the museums, the food, the sights... it's a tourist destination in and of itself.

Predators (Bridgestone) arena has some good food... And a lot of poopty food.

I hear that. The food should at the very least not be alive when im eating it

- jochfr

I'm not allowed to like the look or flow of an arena concourse?
