HSBC Arena

Homage Korner

Tonight the Sabres play the Ottawa Senators at home. The last time that happened was the day after Christmas, with the Sabres getting a point out of the deal despite playing a terrible first period. In fact, the Sabres probably didn’t deserve the loser point at all, but there they were in the shootout with [...]

Entertain Us

By Chris on November 18, 2009

When I was at the Sabres-Flyers game two weeks ago, my dad left kind of disappointed. It wasn’t about the result on the ice.
“They don’t do anything anymore during stoppages,” he said.
He was right. The Sabres have really toned down their in-game entertainment this year. Don’t get me wrong. I never liked the Why Guy or Nicholas [...]

Just a Reminder…

The Buffalo Sabres play 41 games per year in this building. You wouldn’t know it from the last few weeks, but they do. I hear they are back in town sometime this week, so that should be fun.

Home for the Holiday

By Ryan on November 26, 2008

I was searching on the interwebs a while back and discovered that there are two HSBC Arenas. The first one is, of course, in Buffalo, New York; but there is another one in Rio de Janeiro.
Right now it seems like the Sabres would have a better win percentage if they played in Brazil. Since starting out [...]

GRIDLOCK!

By Ryan on October 1, 2008

We don’t talk about things outside of sports very often, and that’s because quite frankly, we’re just not that smart. Any numbers larger than a batting average cause me to twitch uncontrollably, and Jon is allergic to newsprint so we have to text message him box scores, which yes, is as difficult as it sounds.
That [...]

Going once… Going twice….

By Jon on December 20, 2007

By Jon
By now, it’s undoubtedly old news that the blue seats from the Aud are being auctioned off. A unique piece of memorbilia to be sure, and as a wannabe memorbilia enthusiast (meaning I’m too poor to be one), I just can’t seem to get excited about it. And it is killing me.
I want to [...]

97.5 Percent

By Ryan on October 15, 2007

by Ryan
Blame the fans, blame the variable ticket prices, or blame the day it was held on, but 18,217 is not a sellout in HSBC Arena.
It’s a pretty big swing from a team expecting to sell out the season in ten days.
So what does it mean? Not much to me. The stat was nice, [...]

Enjoy the view

From the Sabres Insider E-Mail Bag comes this gem:

That’s it, ladies and gentlemen. The new jumbotron.
So even if the team looks like crap on the ice, they’ll look great in beautiful high definition.

A Necessary Replay

By Ryan on September 11, 2007

by Ryan
Depending on what “school” you belong to, this is the best or worst thing to happen to HSBC Arena in a long time.
For those of you not aware of what all the cool kids have been buying recently, come October 5th you will be staring at something similar to this. Hopefully they won’t have to clean [...]
