Sabres botched alumni jerseys

[VanekAttack91]

This may belong in a different thread, but has any STH received the "commemorative 50th anniversary tickets" the team marketed when they announced the 50th season? Tried looking on their site for the release with all the info but am not finding it

It's even worse: my sources have told me that he showed up to the building messed up on catnip and in no condition to perform.

At least he didn't crash into a Timmy Ho's while in the drive up lane......

 

[Dubi Doo]

That's...really f***ing embarrassing.

 

[cybresabre]

or example here's one idea I have advocated for: Taro Tsujimoto Bobblehead Night. If they did that it would blow up social media in a positive way (a first for this organization)

The night of the game:
Welcome to the Taro Sujimoto Bobblehead Night!
Of course, as he was a pretend player, so too are the bobbleheads. Feel free to buy merchandise at the Sabres Store!

The tweet was deleted, but I'm assuming its the WGR rant. Got me thinking about Ted Black, so I re-read some old threads and found this to be ironic.

Yep, looks like Duanes rant got deleted off WGR twitter. Keep it coming Sabres PR, you are doing great

And a five year old tweet to point out that things are even worse for the Sabres than they were before.

But the link for it is still out there. They didn't take down the snipped content, but it looks like they caved to someone about it to take it down.

 

[jc17]

I dont get why they'd take it down. I guess WGR is "media" and not "journalism" but it seems like it should be their responsibility to not cave to pressure. It just doesnt make sense. Whats going to happen, sabres games on 97 rock? I dont think so

 

[Kublakhan]

that rant was awesome

[K8fool]

Neglectful indiffetence masquerading as incompetencece.... This shows they don't care about the team or this year.. Pricks.

This (Sabretooth being unable to skate at all at an allstar game) is one of the funniest things I have seen in awhile.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Just fire everyone in the PR and marketing and start over

Jesus f***ing Christ on a cracker. If I lived in the area, and that happened to my kid, I would instantly become a Rangers fan. That’s even more horrible than the on ice product.

Plot twist: Pegulas have a deal in place with somebody who will buy the team in the off-season and has the hockey smarts and connections to build a winning team. The catch is that the team will be re-located. Pegulas decide to make decisions that will alienate the fanbase, so that nobody will make any effort to keep the team in Buffalo.

Man, Okposo is such a dick

Yeah, that’s why the Pegula’s have invested all around the arena.

Good thinking there, Sherlock.

Some of this talk makes me wonder if the Sabres wanted to go back to the original blue and gold this year for their 50th but didn’t get whatever they needed to the NHL on time so it is delayed until next season.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

OK, this isn't actually the Sabres' fault, but still...

 

[Sansbacon]

They literally don't care. It's embarrassing just being a fan of this team. Between the Alumni jersey, Sabretooth being the only mascot that couldn't skate, our team failing to make the playoffs in nearly a decade, having one of the worst trades ever, and Kids Day..yikes. What's next?

What’s with the bolded? I’ve read that a few times now.

I remember when Sabretooth used to rappel from the rafters and do like a back flip at the end, then skate around the arena while heavy metal was blasting through the arena. It was awesome. I guess he was a former marine and a badass. Now, they can’t even find someone who can f***ing ice skate?

At this point, it’s just so easy to pile on. If a report came out that a custodian has complained about needing a new mop but hasn’t gotten it yet, I’d go from 0-Duane in .2 seconds. Mickey f***ing Mouse organization.

I mean it sounds like a big nothing burger but the little things add up. Whoever was Sabertooth last year was infinitely better than the person that did it this year.

So you're telling me that even Sabertooth's suit actor lost his love for the game...

It would totally a nothing burger be if they were winning. But when the team is shit, all of these little things accumulate into something bigger than they are. Add to that the alumni gaffs (I consider that to be in a category greater than just a little thing), and you’re left with a mounting pile of embarrassment and frustration.

..And then people wonder why we say fake news media. When they bow down to the powers that be because they said so or else instead of showing that the coin has 2 sides then they have lost all credibility. Hey WGR, grow a set. It needs to be said. 9 years of mediocrity is unacceptable.

 

[OkimLom]

So who’s making the Bingo boards for where the Sabres are screwing up for a professional sports team? How quickly do we get to cover all?
