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

Re: Welcome home Conacher?

I swear this FO (at least under Darcy) looks at players with Buffalo/WNY ties. Taking BUFFALO Sabres a little too literally...

Foligno, Kaleta, Kennedy, Lepkowski, a few others...

Small guy with no production maybe.

4 G 16 A in 58 games this season.

And he reminds them that they traded Ben Bishop for him..

Ottawa put him in too early, he needed a season or 2 more, TB traded him after his AHL Highlight Season, and Ottawa dangled him on a line with spezza then demoted him.

Why not? Buffalo fans love Buffalo players. When you're tanking, you need every bit of positive PR you can get, especially after the past week's mess.

Speaking for myself, his future notwithstanding, I've felt way better about this team since Nolan took over. Not that he's a Buffalo guy, but certainly an adopted Buffalo guy.

I have a Kaleta jersey, and if Foligno would switch to #17, I'd have one of those, too. It may not matter to you, but I'll guarantee you that having WNY players means a lot to the majority of ticket buying fans.

It's important to have likable people if you hope to sell tickets while coming in last place.

Konopka? Or is that a stretch.

Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

His mother is a Buffalo native and Konopka grew up in Niagara so Id say he qualifies as a local
