Palm Trees Officially Banned at Keybank Center (Buffalo)

[Dubi Doo]

You're probably wondering what the hell palm trees are doing in Buffalo. Well, here's the scoop for you.

A week or so ago GM Kevyn Adams said Buffalo can't attract players because Buffalo doesn't have palm trees (among other reasons). Sabres fans, in response, began bringing inflatable palm trees to clown on their GM.

Well, as of last night, they were banned from the stadium. They must be deflated before entering the stadium.



I know we probably don't need another Buffalo thread, but as a Sabres fan...i thought this was comical.

That's a shame.

Seems like a nice little meme the fans were having fun with.

Is this real, or joking? Fans can't bring in props that don't hurt anyone at all? After the bullshit they've thrown in the fans face for over a decade, boycott them lol.

This sucks. The best way to respond to misery is humour, why take that away from the fans?

I suppose it could be an insult to the players, but still, lame.

 

[Bard Marchand]

How soon til Kevyn Adams is gone? His palm trees comment is reminiscent of Chuck Fletcher's "we have an app" comment.

edit: imagine if the Flyers had banned fans from bringing phones into the arena lmao

Sounds like everyone needs to find tshirts with palm trees on them & wear them to the games. If security complains...moobs on display all over the place...

 

[gary559]

This is going to have the opposite effect that it was intended to have.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

I hope the players know the fans aren't booing them, but booing being so piss poorly mismanaged for the past 15 years. I genuinely feel bad for them.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Make t-shirts, hats, get your jersey customized with the name play of palm trees, if you're skilled enough put the numbers as palm trees.

Still so much possibility for trolling.

Sabres fan having fun while supporting they're bad teams for the last ~12 years.

Come on.

 

[57special]

Mebbe Adams should focus more on things like making his team better, not squelching the last signs of life left in their loyal fans who are still coming to the games.

I have always liked Buffalo (Canucks expansion cousins) and did think they would make the playoffs this year as they have some nice young talented pieces but for some reason they cannot piece it together. Sometimes, no matter the talent and upside, maybe the mix is just not right. I hope the Sabres find their footing and make the playoffs. They just might have to make a big trade to change the chemistry. Good luck!!

 

[D Wakaluk]

I honestly thought that was just a parody tweet. For real it's for real..? Jesus man

This shit would not fly in Yurop ... fans would start a damn campaign to get every living thing a palm tree something before entering the arena

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

I'd let fans bring in actual palm trees if they were still paying to watch sabres games.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

Live view of Kevyn Adams' mind right now

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Palmieri to Buffalo E5

 

[Jacob]

Gonna have a Streisand Effect I think. I hadn't heard about Adams' comments or the palm tree response, but now I have.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Hopefully the fans storm the stadium riot style with palm trees, f*** the Sabres lol.

 

[tfwnogf]

No fun allowed in Buffalo, only depression and apathy.

 

[tarheelhockey]

They must be deflated before entering the stadium.

Are we talking about the trees or the fans?

 

[TooManyHumans]

If they are giant inflatables that block other fans' views (assuming there are still enough fans there to have their views be blocked), then I guess I get it. Otherwise this is really weak.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

No fun on the ice, no fun off the ice.

 

[ijuka]

Does a team hate its own fans as much as Buffalo Sabres? I guess the aim is to turn this into the Leafs home arena.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Are we talking about the trees or the fans?

Both and the team.

9 game losing streak - Buffalo bans palm trees.

Only reason to go to a game would be to show up in a hawaii shirt and a palm tree body pillow. I think the best way around it is a palm tree costume really.

A smarter organization would have started to sell piña coladas.
