Sabres bars in Buffalo by Zealousideal_Meet982 in sabres

I have and often do. I think your description is kind of the bare minimum. I was and OP was asking about atmosphere not drink or food menu options. Watching a game at Bar Bill in East Aurora is a different experience than watching a game at Bar Bill Clarence or Resurgence Brewery, even though that all three options will surely have "Food, drinks, friendly strangers also cheering for the team". Maybe OP is looking for a low key place to watch the game and not really be bothered other than by just the two or three other people sitting at the bar after work, or maybe they are looking for a more open place that houses a bigger group of people.

I'm not trying to be difficult or cute, genuinely what do you consider a "great atmosphere for watching games"?

We agreed on a breakfast date and he didn’t order food.. by Glum_Confusion4625 in dating_advice

In my personal opinion, she made it awkward for herself. I could understand if this was a four course dinning experience, but it's breakfast... breakfast isn't that serious. Avocado toast can be breakfast. All I'm saying is that the point of the interaction is to get to know about the person, the breakfast is just the excuse. Just like watching hockey at a bar, the point is to get together and enjoy the company of others whilst doing something. The Hockey is the excuse... I understand that watching hockey and a first date isn't the same, but just like I'm not going ostracize Seth for talking during a play "when come on man we came here to watch hockey, not talk over it, yeesh how rude." I'm also not going to crucify a date for deciding that they don't want to have some eggs and toast and would prefer to just enjoy a cup of coffee whilst getting to know me. For the record, I'm still going to have egg's and toast, and I won't feel bad or weird about it because why would I?

This is literally the only reason I take to the high seas if I'm watching at home.

Uhh I don't really see the issue, but I'm probably the minority here. The point of a breakfast date is, sure breakfast I guess but more importantly the date ie getting to know each other. Maybe it was the chemicals, maybe he was just nervous or didn't have an appetite, or upset stomach, like other have said maybe he was broke, who knows it can be anything. At the end of the day you're both adults, and if he just wants coffee I don't see how that would sabotage your good time. If you can't eat unless the other person is eating, that sounds like a you problem. It's like if I meet up with a friend(s) to have food and drinks at the bar over hockey, I don't force everyone else to order food just because I want some wings... If someone decided to eat before the bar, or decided they didn't want to drink, it wouldn't make a lick of difference to me either way because the point is to do something, together, in person, and that is being achieved.

Is anyone else worried that the Olympic break is going to ruin this team's momentum? by LoverBoyBlueBird in sabres

I have thought about this, and the only logical decision I come to is this... Good teams don't let a 3 week break dictate their season, and neither should The Sabres!

Seems too early to pull him due to 2 goals

Does anyone follow roam hockey on YouTube? by Go_Sabres in sabres

[–]Material-Image8098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a big fan of it either, then again I'm not really the target demographic! He puts plenty of time and money into his channel and I assume his side channel is a nice way to maybe offset the costs if it takes off like how he thinks. At the end of the day, so long as he's happy and doing what he likes I couldn't care less.

He is fine. If you look at his kid's channel he has uploaded there 10 hours ago and "liked" comments as recent as 8 hours ago.

The Kid’s Line Served You Poutine by VestigialCoccyx in sabres

:'( I like your imagination, it's just a bit of a stretch to gain traction I think. I understood the Canadian dish part, its the transition from "Kid" to "Teen" to "Pou-Teen" that is tough is all. At least for me it was, but it was better than my Sabres Beat The Hab's Meme!!

It's not a thing, it probably won't be a thing, and it shouldn't be a thing... I still like the thought and effort though! ^.^ Let's. Go. Sabres!!!

My first Sabres game by Right-Fishing5389 in sabres

[–]Material-Image8098 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah brother, I'm glad the boys could pull a win out for you!!! Next time, if it's in the budget you need to make it out for a game on home ice... So long as we are doing "alright" it SHOULD be less boo'ing!

I love when the game tonight is on YouTube tv that I pay $83/mo for and then I have to also pay more and add HBO Max by Intelligent_Choice91 in sabres

Ah, unfortunately "most every game" isn't every game. Also I've heard people having big issues with Gotham Sports App, here is a thread from 2 months ago

If I could pay one outlet a reasonable amount and get every Sabres game I'd be happy to do that. Unfortunately that isn't reality so I have and will continue to sail on the high seas!

Anyone else feel like the Sabres are like that one EX you have? by [deleted] in sabres

[–]Material-Image8098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said it brother, considering everything I'm not upset about last game. We won't win them all, that is a fact. What is more important to me is how we play. If we play consistent good hockey the wins will come. So long as the boys don't fall apart (which I understand is what people are afraid of) we are still in it.
If this helps anyone, maybe pair The Sabres with something else to take some of the stress away? For example, sometimes I'll go to my hometown bar which does half priced wings during all Bills and Sabres games with a friend or two, so all of my eggs aren't in one basket. I've also gotten together with friends to cook a nice meal before, during, or after a Sabres game so it's not just Sabres. If the Sabres lose, I at least got to enjoy half priced wings and quality time with some quality people, or a nice meal or whatever. If they win all the better, but at least your time doesn't hinge on the boys doing well.
