Anything interesting out of this?

Yeah lots, but not lately. Don't expect any more questions of substance to be screened through. Myself and a handful of others are getting our questions passed over for mindless fluff.

So now that I see players are allowed to use twitter, I charge you Phil with compiling a definitive list of said tweeting players.

Shoot...we'll nee a running Sabres player-only twitter feed here on the junkie.

Got my question answered... sort of.

I asked if they could show the countdown to puck drop clock between intermission reports in addition to the pregame.

All he said was that it was mentioned in the suggestion box, and that they do it during the pregame... which I already knew and said in my question.

Haha I got called out in the chat for one of my tweets.

Well, I'm done doing updates. It's all mindless fluff now. Not worth following.

Ted, you're a trooper. Not many fans get to chat with the president of their favourite team. Thanks for doing this.

BUFFALO SABRES: thank you. This is your team. You are the shareholders. I am trying to keep up as best I can, but the Internet boys just left and I am in conference room trying to read, select and type.

He wouldn't answer my "24/7 idea" so i decided to thank him instead.

It started out great. It quickly turned into a waste of time.

Nonsense. I now know that Ted Black's favorite band is Pink Floyd.

That's really important as a Sabres fan.

I thought it was awesome how long he stayed and put up with all of that retarded nonsense he was getting piled on (and his score updates were badass. The dude gets it), but it sure would've been nice to see legitimate questions put through by the screeners instead of the dumb fluff that did. Ted only answered questions the screeners put through, so I blame the screeners (who then bailed on him, leaving him under a pile of stupid) for the quality of questions that got through.

First 45 mins was ok. The rest looked like he was hanging out in an AOL chatroom.

7th man choice was sad too.

Yeah, I must have missed the "do your best Rebecca Black impression" part of the contest rules.

If that's what she was going for.
