Hey Terry, Do Us A Favor and SELL

Pegula: "Just wanted you to know that the misery will continue!"

Only 32 cities in the world with a team playing in the NHL. Maybe we snuck in in thanks to the boomer generation because the economy was good enough in Buffalo back in the day. We would never get this now if it were a new option.

Let's just enjoy the ride, everything will be fine. Even if they lose 15 in a row.

We get to watch an NHL game today with a team from Buffalo. I will always look forward to that. Just my opinion.

This is very true. That said, Buffalo is also a second market for Southern Ontario, where a lot of wealth exists. The Sabres should play six to 12 games a year in Hamilton when their $300 million reno is done.

Some players care more about where they live than others.

Some players care more about taxes than others.

Some players care more about getting paid than winning.

Some players care more about playing with their friends than others.

Buffalo has consistently been a market that has a negative rep from visiting players. But, plenty of players like living here once they are forced to. Craig Rivet is exhibit A for a player that was not happy to be traded here and has since decided to live here in retirement, even after a nasty ending to his tenure as a Sabres player.

Adams was right when he said that getting players to come to Buffalo is harder than many other markets with better weather and better tax situations.

Adams was also right when he pointed to the Bills and saying that winning games is how you overcome that disadvantage.

The Trouba trade is an example of that. He blocked a trade to Columbus and accepted a trade to Anaheim. He wasn't making that choice based on who is better on the ice right now.

Good post.

But winning is the main factor. Sabres had no problems attracting talent when they were leviathans of the NHL. That's in the 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's.

Today, Pegula and Adams whine and cry about players who don't want to be here. Winning cures everything.

I was alive when the Knox's pursued an NHL franchise for Buffalo. They failed at 1st. Finally succeeded in 1970. Trust me, Buffalo;s glory days were far behind it in 1970.

The Knox's had CREDIBILITY, INTEGRITY, CHARACTER and a passion for the game that Pegula couldn't match on his best day.

Mr. Burns: You, Strawberry - hit a home run!
Darryl Strawberry: Okay, skip *hits a home run*
Mr Burns: Hahaha, I told him to do that.
Smithers: Brilliant strategy, sir.

I just want to clarify, I wasn’t saying “boo-urns.” It was just booing.

Any ideas on what we can do for some Billboards on the way to the Arena? From both directions?

I demand Governor Hochul get our tax money back from this crook.

I don't want this trash owning our Bills.
