Doc Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 5 minutes ago, BillsFan4 said: Yeah that performance gave me flashbacks of Robin Lehner in the shootout. 😂 I knew as soon as it got to the shootout Buffalo was losing. UPL was getting caught out of position all night overplaying pucks. He still made some big saves for Buffalo but he just seemed a bit off his game last night. Buffalo played a good game overall though, and 7 out of 8 points on a tough road trip is huge. They looked gassed in the last half of the 3rd period. I’m surprised they got out of there with a point at all. UPL saved them until the SO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Everyone seems to be watching to see if we can catch Pittsburgh but Washington has played three more games including the curb stomping they took today.

We have a chance to get a WC spot to break the 10-11 year embarrassment. Don’t even care if we get smoked in the first round.

Dude was starting in the National league as an 18 year old, and has now played 325 games! What I get excited about is Owen Power, who is WAY ahead of Dahlin's development level at a similar stage, though the team he is working with is much better than the one Dahlin had and we have eternally better coaching now too. 47 minutes ago, BillsPride12 said: I scored tickets to the game tonight.

I am hoping the building will be full tonight as it's the last game for quite a long time. I have no idea why people living in WNY are still staying away from the building. We have one of the most exciting teams in the league and play a wildly exciting brand of hockey. Avoiding that place made all the sense in the world for the last decade, but not now!

Buffalo Super Fan Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, BillsFanNC said: Terrible unis. Being outskated by canes early. Building not full. Horrible Buffalo Sabres loss tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes on TNT national television. The Buffalo Sabres week night attendance issues the Sabres organization are going to really have to give that some thought this offseason. Buffalo Sabres fans are treating week night games like Buffalo Bisons games. Meaning Buffalo fans only go on the weekends for Buffalo Bisons games for the most part. I wonder if the Buffalo Sabres need to look at going back to Sunday night games especially when the Buffalo Bills season is over because Buffalo just doesn’t go to week night games on work and school nights anymore. Also part of it is the economic realities of the limits of the Western New York market place. Sure Buffalo fans will pay more for the Buffalo Bills games but that money has to come from somewhere and it sure looks like it is at the expense of the Buffalo Sabres. I don’t buy the Sabres aren’t good excuse anymore nor do I buy that it is Key Bank Center is dirty fill in the blank excuse why Buffalo Sabres fans have stopped going to week night games. The same so called dirty Key Bank Center isn’t stopping Buffalo fans from going to Buffalo Bandits games. Buffalo fans just refuse to pay the Sabres prices for week night games anymore. It is a problem that the Sabres are going to have to look at. Again Sabres fans are asking a lot for the Sabres organization to max contract young Sabres players with as many empty Sabres seats on weekdays games at Key Bank Center not sold out. I think when the Buffalo Sabres get around to renovating Key Bank Center. I would go back to 16,500 max number of seats like Buffalo Memorial Auditorium days. There are too many seats for this market size and it’s economic constraints of today. I think the Buffalo Sabres financial losses are real and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if things don’t change by the end of this decade if this Sabres team could be potentially in Houston, Texas. Houston is a growing market and too big not to have a NHL team. Terry Pegula is 71 years old and also once I believe lived in Houston, Texas. So could I see Houston Sabres by 2030 when Terry Pegula would be almost 80 years old if Buffalo Sabres attendance numbers don’t change? Yes I could because some NHL team is going to Houston by 2030. Phoenix, Florida, Ottawa, Columbus and Buffalo are the possible NHL moving candidates to Houston. I hope it’s not Buffalo but there are too many lower bowl seats at Key Bank Center empty I believe the Western New York business community dropped a lot of those high end lower bowl seats at Sabres games. Again I hope it doesn’t happen but as a Buffalo Sabres fan it could if things don’t change with Sabres attendance. Again I hope I am wrong in my opinion. Go Sabres!
