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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

Current NHL Owner at the Bills game yesterday...Who could it be?

10-10-2011, 06:08 PM

I just noticed this tweet from an hour ago that has been retweeted by several people.

A current NHL owner was at the Ralph yesterday with the Kelly family. And he reportedly met with Roger Goodell. More to come tomorrow. . .

Keep reading the tweets. Not Jacobs or Pegula, apparently.

Is Buffalo Rising a reliable web site? Also, if Pegula was not it, does it make a difference? You can't own a out of town NHL team and the Buffalo Bills.

Who owns the Toronto Maple Leafs? And don't freak out... they very well could want to keep the team in Buffalo... Jimbo wouldn't have it any other way...

No, looks like Stavros, Tanenbaum (Raptors) and others own the Leafs.

Re: Current NHL Owner at the Bills game yesterday...Who could it be?

Could it be this guy? He would have to sell the Ducks before he bought the Bills though, due to NFL rules.

Henry Samueli (born September 20, 1954 in Buffalo, New York) is co-founder, senior vice president, and chief technology officer of the Broadcom Corporation, owner of the Anaheim Ducks

He's also worth $1.7 billion, according to the latest Forbes estimate.

Re: Current NHL Owner at the Bills game yesterday...Who could it be?

There are possibilities:

Tennenbaum, to coordinate the upcoming Toronto Series.

You mentioned Samueli. He might be a long shot, since it appears he moved to LA very early in life and probably doesn't have much of a connection to the area anymore.

Possibly also David Thomson, owner of the Jets (edit: WINNIPEG Jets, to be clear to the non-hockey fans here), and a Toronto native.
