Apparently Duffer and Biron are very highly rated. Dan and Ray do decent in small doses I suppose. The local market rates it way lower than national.

Would love to hear the “logic“ on why the fans deserve shitty teams here.
Where did I say, during those exchanges, that the team was shitty? Sure, I'm more pessimistic than others, but I just said the fans deserved the team they currently have.

But, I don't see how the Buffalo fans, that sell their tickets to those fans for Montreal, Toronto to make their money back from outside markets, instead of going to the games against their rivals, that don't show up to the games for one of their better recent seasons, deserve anything better than what they have.

Meant to post this earlier, but even though I think Eichel has some pitiful personality traits that boiled over upon leaving the Sabres, he's shown some growth in his game and sure as hell handled that big hit from Tkachuk like a boss. Not just physically coming back to play but to shrug it off as a part of hockey and acknowledging that it was a clean hit. Major props to him for having a good season, great playoff, getting a bit of the McDavid monkey off his back, and showing physical and mental maturity. Wish it could have happened in Buffalo but I'm not going to be THAT salty about his post-Sabres success/failure.

Has it dawned on you that for most of those people flipping those games is the only way they can afford to pay for season tickets in the first place (particularly with the local economy being pretty dogshit)?

Then if you can’t afford them, don’t buy them. Let people who can afford them, off the waiting list.

Glad to know I deserve a team that hasn't been to the playoffs in 12 years and hasn't won a round since 2007 because some season ticket holders can't make it to every game and choose to sell some tickets. What was I thinking?

It hasn't existed since roughly 2016, possibly because we have been on the single worst run in the entire history of the sport of hockey.
I was going to say "Unpossible! Have you not heard of the Arizona Coyotes" but then I looked and they have actually been to the playoffs twice in the past 12 seasons.

So there you are.... we're a worse franchise than the Coyotes.

I'm going to go drink away my sorrows now.

It’s the fans fault thought
