    Not happy about ours either but at least for now it's not as large and glaring as other teams. The key phrase is "for now".

      Most of the board adverts are Canadian.

        I almost didn’t mind Canada’s telus sponsorship in regards to having the sleeves like the US had. The US used to have Gillette on the sleeves which blended in a lot better. I feel like Canada’s telus blends in similiar to how the helmet manufacturers logos blend in since it’s in same place.

        The refs wearing their obnoxious large print square box logos have been the most glaring to me....

            He's referring to the frigid temps and lake effect snow blanketing the Buffalo area. Cold temps have caused cracking issues with ice surface....


            They're actively recruiting shovelers - bring yer own shovel. ... meals provided, anyone working 4 hrs or more gets a free ticket to the game.

                Meh, a little east on the Thruway it's a balmy -5F, probably not all that different over in Buffalo. Not looking forward to going outside, and if things don't change tomorrow, not sure how many others will be, either.

                      Sadly its a GIMMACK...bad idea anytime...especially during the WJC...thought they could stay away from that type of garbage ideas. For the US they lose the noise factor from being in a arena, home ice is important and being out side negates that (imo).

                        You honestly think the USA was going to have that much of a home ice advantage vs Canada if it was in the Sabres’ Arena? It would have been 50 percent Canadian at best for the US.

                          That may be the only game that fills the arena. I don't think the outdoor game will sell out, unless they paper the house.

                            40K seats sold. We’ll see who actually braves the temps though.

                            Gold medal game between US/Canada could sell out the sabres’ rink I think.

                                The problem is the Golden Horseshoe has been asked to support the WJC for 3 out of the last 4 years. That's a big investment and it looks like they decided to watch TSN instead of braving the Border.
