Season Begins Friday at 7:30

The time is finally upon us. The HSBC Arena will be rocking once again as the Sabres drop the puck at 7:30 this Friday night against the NY Islanders. It’s going to be a very exciting season for our boys in Buffalo as well as here in NYC.

As a testament to the passionate group that you are and the great team that we support, the 2007-2008 season will feature six NYC bars that will be prominently showing Sabres games. Because the season is so long and the games are often during the work week, I decided it was best to promote a number of bars that are in different areas of the city but who all have the Center Ice package, Labatt Blue, and are friendly to the Sabres. All of their information is at the bottom of this email below. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you know of another place for fans to gather.

Season Opener Party

One thing I would like to do, if the interest is there, is to have a monthly game watch where we can all meet at a single bar and talk hockey and how no one misses Briere and Drury (that’s right, I said it!). For the season opener this Friday at 7:30, the folks at Public House, a great new bar in midtown, have offered to host us. The have Labatt Blue on tap and are offering a $2 off special this Friday night. If you are interested in swinging by for a couple of happy hour beers and watch the Islanders get pummeled, please email and let me know so I can give the bar a heads up and we can get a some seating reserved. Public House is at 140 E 41st St, between Lex and 3^rd.

NYCBSS Blog

We have officially launched a NYCBSS Blog at http://NYCBSS.blogspot.com/. This is the place to go for all the latest NYC Sabres info. The email server that we use for the NYCBBB has a limit to the number we are allowed to send in a month and during the football season we exceed that limit so I hoping to use the blog to get out the latest info. Please check it out!

"As much as I respect what Danny and Chris did for us, I think people need to give this team more credit. Without detracting from Chris and Danny, and this'll come off wrong, but they didn't do it all." - Ryan Miller

HELL YEAH!!
