All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Re: The Best and Worst fans of the NHL, 2009 Edition
lists like this are stupid, other than hockey-crazed cities like montreal and toronto who will always be up top even when they're losing, this list just favors the fair-weather fans and teams placement on the list is directly related to the success of the team, which has nothing to do with the quality of fans, everyone shows up to games when a teams winning, selling tickets when the team sucks shows more about a fanbase.
seriously? chicago 2nd? meh. the only non-Canadian team in the top 5 should be minnesota, who i think has sold out every game in their existence.

The dumbest fan should the Sabres fan for buying all the season tickets this year when the FO has done nothing to improve this team.
keep saying that, but it will be the Sabres that will be staying in Buffalo and it will be the Bills that are going to move to Toronto or Los Angeles or some other city after Ralph Wilson dies. Get ready for it because it's going to happen!

Not sure what you're getting at here.
The Bills have sold something like 55k season tickets, and it's their 2nd or 3rd highest year on record. They've already sold out over half the games and will likely sell out their entire season.
It's not going to be enough to keep the team from moving, but Sabres fans and Bills fans are equally dumb when it comes to paying for an unsatisfactory product (probably since most of them are the exact same people).

Since you are right about as often as Haily's comet comes around, I won't lose sleep over your comments. You should work for Elklund.
Re: The Best and Worst fans of the NHL, 2009 Edition
The notion that Bills and Sabres fans are dumb, or stupid or whatever for buying season tickets, is getting old. Yes, the teams are down now, but there have been winning years and playoff runs as well.
And besides, it's fun and exciting and enjoyable to go to HSBC or the Ralph, regardless. Yes, winning is more fun, but the fans still get the opportunity to see two major league sports with all their great teams and superstars, enjoy all the tailgating and pregame parties, etc.
If you look at tickets strictly as a $ to wins thing, I think you are missing most of the fun of the whole experience.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Re: The Best and Worst fans of the NHL, 2009 Edition
As a man once said...."You play to win the Game" except if you play in Buffalo "You play to make a profit and don't worry about winning as long as the fans keep blindly buying tickets"
