I'm sure I am in the minority but the outdoor hockey games have run its course and lost some of its luster. I'm not against it but it should be done less often. The novelty of it has been exhausted.

 

The Pegulas have done a terrific job in making Buffalo a hockey destination. The hotels and restaurants should be grateful for such a visionary developer whose exploits benefit the region.

Nah, I agree. When it was once a year, in a historic hockey city, it was cool. But when they're doing like 6 or seven like they've been doing, and having one in friggin' LA, it's time to cut it back.

You want 12 to lick his game up , just get fans to cheer when the other team scores. Seemed to motivate him last year to become an offensive juggernaught down the stretch.

 

And yes, I am still pissed at him.

 

Yup

I agree, to a point. But I have said it before: If these were a one time a year or less... we would never see one played in WNY again. So it is kind of a necessary evil for us.

Was just looking at the schedule and looks like we are playing Edmonton Sunday night...

 

 

so on the same day i can see the Bills season crash again in early December and be miserable

 

and then see McEichel play and if the Sabres win be high as a kite...

 

ahh poop, just remembered McDavid is hurt right?

 

 

.sheesh what a day it can be!

 

I am going to be very disappointed if the Sabres do not get at least 3 points this weekend.

Same goes for the Bills.

Hey, I just realized -- this weekend the Sabres play in a mini McEichel tournament (Arizona-Edmonton). Hilarious.
