Buftex Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Okay, I didn't watch the entire NHL all-star game, but I tuned in late to see how our Sabres players faired... Couldn't help but notice a lot of empty seats, at least in the third period.. VS., who I think do a pretty nice job with the NHL (I know everyone else hates them) really had trouble giving meaningful stats, in this 12-9 Western conference victory... BIG NEWS: Dan Briere was named MVP, with a goal and 4 assists! I heard that Lindy Ruff was booed numerous times during the course of the NHL all-star festivities, by the Dallas crowd...Lindy is despised in Dallas. Gotta love Lindy coaching the Eastern squad, it seemed like Briere was on the ice the entire third period...
diver Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 National and local papers headlines were Crosby and Oveckin will dominate all stars soon! Articles all about them. Oh yea by the way Daniel Briere won the MVP.
dib Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Same here, and btw the Sun Sentinnel is so hard up for attention to the Panthers they kept mentioning "ex-Panther Roberto Luongo"
loadofmularkey Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Couldn't help but notice a lot of empty seats, at least in the third period.. Wait till next year when the game is in that hockey hotbed known as Atlanta. It''ll be in Montreal for 2008-09 though. That should be cool.

I work about 5 minutes from Phillips Arena - I'll be there! Screw the locals if they don't like it, I'll get a better seat. I see it at as two Sabres games I can go see every year.
shrader Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Wait till next year when the game is in that hockey hotbed known as Atlanta. It''ll be in Montreal for 2008-09 though. That should be cool. They don't alternate the site between conferences anymore?
MarkyMannn Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 BIG NEWS: Dan Briere was named MVP, with a goal and 4 assists! With the game he had, and the exposure he got, that CAN'T help our chances of signing him next year. That game performance alone might have added up to $1,000,000 to any offer he gets
loadofmularkey Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 They don't alternate the site between conferences anymore? I guess not...I thought it was weird too, to have two straight ASGs in Eastern Conf. cities. If the Olympics continues to use NHL players there won't be one in 2010.

That should be cool. Actually, I live in Austin...Dallas is a pretty good hockey town, no doubt, helped by winning the cup a few years ago. Their fans are pretty loyal...I was just thining, perhaps, the tickets were a little too pricey! I thought about going a few months ago, and halfheartedly, looked into tickets. If I recall, the cheapest thing I could find was $175....

Oh yea by the way Daniel Briere won the MVP. An unnamed entertain sports production network saw fit to announce on their crawler that Crosby had 3 shots on goal. Thanks for that.
eball Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Actually, I live in Austin...Dallas is a pretty good hockey town, no doubt, helped by stealing the cup a few years ago. Their fans are pretty loyal...I was just thining, perhaps, the tickets were a little too pricey! I thought about going a few months ago, and halfheartedly, looked into tickets. If I recall, the cheapest thing I could find was $175.... I took the liberty of correcting your post.

erynthered Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 When did Dallas win a Cup?? I do not recall such an event 98/99
Buftex Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 No Goal. Why Lindy is despised in Dallas!
