Is there anything considered very Buffalo you don’t embrace?
Jrb1979 replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall
I wasn't talking about clientele but the park itself. Go to Cedar Point, Kings Island, Hershey or Carowinds and you see the major difference. I blame a lot of the issues on attendance. Unless there's a concert the park is dead. -

Darien Lake is one to the worst parks in ehr US. Beers like Bud, Genny, Blue and Molson I'd overrated. -

I would add it's not like DHop was the only one playing the Bills. Look at how many here were saying the knew someone who said he is definitely coming. -

They had the youngest team in the NHL this season and missed the playoffs by 1 point. The future is so bright I gotta wear shades. -

Sounds like a lot of the Bills media lately. Overhyping a WR that may or may not sign with the Bills. Maybe the Buffalo Media should focus on a team 1 game away from it's championship -

I'm not sure people understand who little cap space the Bills have. I see him going to Baltimore. They have the cap space. Maybe he signs with the Jets. -

It's not a huge story but it is an actual signing. My point was that the Sabres did something, you have the NhL playoffs going on and MLB going. In Buffalo the biggest sports media story is about a football player at a restaurant in Buffalo. -

In other news Kyle Okposo just re-signed with the Sabres and they also signed one of their top prospect defenseman. It's crazy to me that those two things happened and all the Buffalo sports media can talk about is Hopkins at a restaurant. -

With what cap space? -
I just don't see them staying in Arizona. At this point it's pretty obvious that they aren't wanted there. I'm tired of this league chasing the all mighty US fanbase. Its not happening and never will. It's a shame too cause IMO hockey is the most exciting sport out of all the major ones. It's down the final four and there is more talk sports media wise about the NFL new season coming up and the NBA. It's time they started going to markets that actually like the game instead of pushing it into markets where it will be an afterthought. IMO the only two markets that would work are KC and Cleveland. Personally I think they need to go Quebec City. Give them a team back.
-
I agree with that. As a fan it's not what I want to see. I want to see the skilled players dominate. I don't want to see 3rd and 4th line guys lead the way.
-
Don't get me wrong, I like that your team is doing well for you. As a Canadian and some who loves hockey over any other sport, hates seeing what they have done to the game. It's all to get that all mighty US dollar. I'm sorry but it's been a failure. Ratings are still not any better.
-
Not totally but I think they need to go back to calling everything like they did back in 2006. That's when the game was at its best. The fast and high skilled teams excelled. I hate how the game is played now. It's slowly heading back to clutch and grab. I want to the stars shine not guys like Kolesar.
-
Star players as in McDavid, Draisaitl, MacKinnon, those are star players. If they were consistent then the Oilers probably move on as that powerplay probably wins them the series. I agree he dealt with a lot but what he did has no business in the game. It's not that I hate the guy cause I do think he's a good player and he did play for my local junior team.
-
It's none of those for me. My dislike for Vegas is a bi-product of everything that's wrong with the NHL as a whole. It starts with series/game management. IMO Pietrangelo shouldn't be playing til next year for one. Two calling the game different in the regular season and playoffs makes the league look bad. Teams high skill and speed should be favored and the game should be called to favor that. Instead the game is called so 3rd and 4th liners are on equal footing as star players.
-
For me I have interest in any of the teams left. No star power to draw me in and have no emotional attachment good or bad to any of the teams.
-
For me it's Oilers or nothing. IMO these southern teams don't deserve anything. They only support their teams when winning or in the case of the Panthers never support them.
-
I hope Edmonton wins tonight and wins the series. If they don't then my interest in the playoffs is done. Florida and Carolina is a bore and same with Vegas and who ever wins between Dallas and Seattle.

Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)
Jrb1979 replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't see them reducing costs. I see them following Jacksonville and putting one home game a year in London to make up for it. -
Either way the division got a lot harder. It's not a given the Bills are the number 1. It's going to be a dog fight the whole season.

New stadium cost goes up from $1.4 billion to $1.54 billion.

That's just part of staying in the NFL -

Unfortunately there isn't enough of you that will pay the prices that come with the new stadium. It's a big reason the majority of new stadiums across all leagues are making the stadium experience more important.
