I posted in another thread about this, but they claim we’ll get an option in the coming days. I’ll be a little miffed if that decision is forced on us without any plan to review.
How are we getting equivalent seats, will we get all games, how will that be determined, etc?
Wife and I may opt out just for the uncertainty.

I also received that today. Seems like a logistical nightmare.
Not sure how they will give everyone equivalent seats, split up games, choose which games you get, etc.
My wife and I are considering opting out, especially because it seems likely that decision will be pushed on us before a detailed plan is even available to review.

All of Adams' answers were deferred to communicating with Kim, Terry, and Ralph. That's all I need to hear to confirm.
The entire reason he got the job is he is willing to do 'communicate' and 'collaborate' (heard those words 100x in that PC). A real GM wouldn't stand for that. They want a bobblehead, and hired/promoted one.
Nail on the head.

WTF Kevyn Adams? Can someone who knows him better make me feel ok about that?
Might just be interim, but he would be another first time GM right?

I thought it was a well written piece, but I never underestimate how fiercely apologetic sports fans can be to billionaire owners.
Most of the anecdotal evidence I’ve heard supports the article. With that being said, they own the teams and can mismanage them as they see fit. I’m just shocked how many people get fired up to defend them despite having even less evidence than the writer.

I worked a lot on my swing at the Dome this winter and only got out for 9 holes before the closures. Figures!
Stay healthy everyone.

As a long time season ticket holder it would be very weird without our Fall tailgates with friends, but I’ll celebrate just having a season at this point.
I’d be curious to see how refunds would be handled, they are certainly continuing to take the money! I know my friend who is a Sabres STH was being pushed to put refund towards future seasons, which he didn't want to do. He claims no one has responded to him since his request for a refund, but I imagine PSE is in as much turmoil as most of our employers.

This week has been one gut punch after another and I fear we are still just getting started.

I would say there is absolutely no chance this gets played on schedule, but if there is any organization greedy enough to go forward with it, would be the NCAA.
Have to at least push it back.

Tough luck with timing this year. It will definitely take a lot away from the tournament.
I would imagine this benefits the favorites, but there isn’t any dominant team in the field to begin with.
-
I thought I would miss BBMB, but this has been more than a suitable replacement.
I sent an angry email about it at the time to my ticket rep who called and said I wasn’t the only one.

I went last night and, as always, thoroughly enjoyed the intermission videos highlighting the 06 run and the bumper ball hockey soccer game.

I struggle naming one thing Botterill does well through three seasons.
For a cap guru, he has managed the cap poorly.
The ROR trade is an objective disaster (admittedly a little hindsight there). All the talk about stabilizing the second line, which has plagued the team for years, is especially frustrating when you consider it’s mostly self inflicted. I’m shocked he could never work a trade for Risto who at least had value.
The only reason I am still ambivalent on Botterill is that I don’t see anyone having a magic fix for the team next year. Low hanging fruit would be goaltending, which has definitely cost the team points this season. But bigger issue is still secondary scoring, which I don’t see free agency fixing.
Tough time to be a Sabres fan. Settling into the sort of cynicism I felt during the Bills drought years. I would guess we don’t have many more seasons to turn it around before Eichel becomes a squeaky wheel to get out of town.

Finally watched this with the wife. I’m sure we wouldn’t have been able to get through it if they ever actually showed more of the videos. It really breaks my heart.
There is a lot of sick people. Society certainly feeds into how that sickness is expressed as we’ve seen for years. I have a lot of opinions on the online mob and outrage culture, but I the subject behind this documentary made it pretty hard for me to really think of that. The only blame is on the guy. Prison is too good for this POS

There is absolutely no justification for voting Wilson over Jackson, although I never understand why anyone other than the players care about these things.

Overall, it was a fairly underwhelming conclusion the to 10 'skywalker' movie series, but it needs to end. The 3-front war at the end of Return of the Jedi was a much better climax/conflict/resolution than this. Not a bad star wars movie overall though, but when I think of it in a light of concluding the whole thing... it leaves me disappointed.
I just wish we could have seen the continuity with Abrams piloting all 3 movies. The Last Jedi was a complete derailment it seems. I still cant figure out why they just didnt allow Princess Leia to die early on in The Last Jedi.
Im ready to move on from the whole skywalker/solo thing. Wouldnt mind some tie-ins and cameos, but overall, need to go elsewhere and start fresh.
I agree. Now that this has run its’ course I’m hopeful Star Wars can go in a new and interesting direction.
This one was ok. I had some fun watching it, but thought that a lot (especially the end) was extremely cheesy. This trilogy just never connected with me, glad it’s over.
I’m still hoping they do something in the era of the old republic. Used to love the KOTOR video games.

Props to Gronk, who I’ve been loving on for a few years now over how frequently he praises WNY.
Leave it to miserable people to find something wrong with a 50k donation to a charitable cause.

I would beat TOR up more for the loss if they didn’t just prove they could win at Oracle (twice).
I would still bet on them finishing out the series, but it was definitely a huge opportunity missed.

He grew on me over time. I thought he did a fine job.
I’d be embarrassed to drag a guy stepping away. Some of those thread comments are overboard. Twitter is truly a cesspool.

I definitely stay away from the leaks, I’ll wait a couple days.
The Bran theory, while an interesting thought, wouldn’t make sense. They went the Dany mad route and the preview shows her proudly facing her people. Don’t think that jives with Bran warging into Drogon. She had control.

People are nuts. I’m not in love with this season for many of the reasons we have hashed out, but it’s still incredible entertainment.
Hated how the night king story arc ended, but The Long Night was one of the most entertaining episodes of television I’ve ever watched.
Last week was amazing. Wish we had more development to get there, but once again just incredible television (especially Arya/Clegane scenes).
I’ll try to appreciate however it ends. I would put money on Martin never finishing the books, so I think this is the only ending we get.

Martin pushed back on the rumor he had all the books finished. Said he is still finishing WOW and hasn’t even started dream of summer. I didn’t believe this for a second anyway for the financial reasons already mentioned in this thread.
I’ve resigned myself to the fact he won’t ever finish. If he does it will be a pleasant surprise.
-
I didn’t think I’d like them to take Dany to full madnesses, but wound up pretty interesting. Burning the Tarlys started this, so I disagree it was a two episode 180, but I do agree it could have been built up better.
I’m surprised today how many people I read that hated the ending to Jamie Cersei. Even with Jamie’s transformation he could never move on from Cersei, he always had a weakness there. I thought it was a fitting end for him. I understand wanting a worse death for Cersei, but I didn’t hate it.
Bills give STHers option to opt-out for 2020 while maintaining seniority and seat location

This is what I’m interested to see. How much information are we going to get before opting in or out? I can’t imagine they will have a whole lot of clarity with seating capacities.
I’ll be interested in what we actually agree to by opting in. If I’m getting moved to worse seats how is that being handled? How are they chopping games between season ticket holders? Seems like a nightmare to administer.
