Hockey Announcements

September 13, 2007 |

The Sabres web site has announced that the NHL will be making an Announcement in regards to a “special event.” There will be a press conference at 2:00 PM on September 17, 2007. As it is taking place at Ralph Wilson Stadium, there is no question as to the subject matter! Regular season tickets do not go on sale until this Saturday, September 15, at 9:00 AM, but many may have noticed the fact that the January 1 game against the Pittsburgh Penguins has not had a ticket link. Judging by the complex processes that go into having an outdoor game, the announcement could go either way. However, seeing as the NHL is coming out to Buffalo to make a “major announcement” seems to point towards the fact that the Ice Bowl will take place in Buffalo.

In more positive news, the Buffalo Sabres are finally getting a much-needed improvement to HSBC Arena: A new scoreboard! Not just a minor update, but an actual HD system that promises to rival some of the best scoreboards in hockey. It seems like the Sabres have invested in many updates and improvements over the last two years, and it does appear to be for the better. The original JumboTron was pretty ancient, and already suffered its fair share of problems. It might be noted that having a scoreboard in HD may point to HD broadcasts in the future. The near future, hopefully!
