Hey, the Pegula’s can save money here.

[Gregg]

 A Bills regular season game takes priority over a Sabres regular season game much less a preseason game. IMHO.

What were they thinking?

 

This is a stuff up on “Dewey beats Truman “ levels…

[eball]

Do people even watch preseason hockey?  This is hardly a big deal...

[Ned Flanders]

Poor planning on whoever makes the schedule...the Caps will draw 10K for this, as they have a solid fan base here.  A 7:00pm puck drop would have been the logical choice.

I am obsessed with the Sabres and probably like them more than the Bills

 

I am grateful that this is happening so i have no reason to watch the preseason hockey game

Since both are in DC some Buffalo fans in town to watch football game may have then gone to hockey game IF the hockey game was moved later.

Isn't this why DVRs were invented?

10k for preseason? The Bills dont even get that for a preseason game.

I find it extremely hard to believe the Caps will draw 10k to a preseason game unless the tickets are free.

It's the first preseason game and I'll bet you a quarter they'll get 10K...pretty much every regular season game has been sold out here for the last 10 years.

Not if it's being played on a football Sunday.

If the games were home games for Buffalo, it might hurt ticket sales for the Sabres pre-season game but that wouldn't be a big deal.  I don't expect that the Sabres depend of a lot of revenue from pre-season ticket sales anyway.  Washington is enough larger as a market, I don't even know that it would move the needle in Washington Capital ticket sales.

Yes we watch it. It’s a big deal because since Terry Pegula took over we are seeing more of that like he is purposely running the Buffalo Sabres into the ground like Major League Movie with the Cleveland Indians owner. What kind of bum does that having Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres games on at the same time. Terry Pegula is weird “Howard Hughes like”. The day Terry Pegula sells the Buffalo Sabres Party at Buffalo Super Fans house. I want that for the Buffalo Sabres and our Sabres fans more than a Super Bowl if given the choice either or for Buffalo to have a separate Buffalo Sabres owner again would be wonderful for this city again just a garbage hockey owner hockey hell for 12 straight years. Sell the Buffalo Sabres Terry Pegula is like John Fisher owner of the Oakland Athletics pure garbage as a hockey owner sell the Buffalo Sabres before our attendance gets so bad like the Oakland Athletics we can’t be saved. Just remember the Buffalo Sabres lease is up in a few years and I don’t trust Terry Pegula doing the right thing he isn’t Ralph Wilson or Seymour Knox he is too greedy to be those two class gentleman in my opinion. Go Bills! Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

This is why God invented DVR's....
