Are Nicholas Picholas’ days numbered?

February 19th, 2007 Sabres


He is the in game host during Sabres games at HSBC Arena. During media breaks, he does the contests, kiss cams, welcomes special guests, all that kind of stuff.

And lately, the Sabres fans have been raining down “boos” on him.

What has triggered all this scorn is a mystery - it’s not like he went out and robbed a bank or murdered puppies or anything like that. He does a solid, if unspectacular job as the game host and his love for the Sabres comes across well. He is just a regular Buffalo guy. Would we really rather have some hot blond babe or some underwear model doing this job who is impassionate about the team?

Picholas’ appearances on the Jumbotron have become shorter and snappier to try and deflect the boos. C’mon Buffalo fans, Nicholas is one of US - let’s show the guy some love!

    I think it is two things why Nicholas Picholas is disliked in Buffalo. First he is replacing the Why Guy who everyone liked. Second, he is really annoying at times. Some of the things he says seem like he is trying to be funny but is failing at it. Plus he is on Kiss, which is known as a “tiny bopper” station, so he has that againts him too.

    Oh and I am all for that hot blonde:-)

    I’ve gotta agree with snarf. When given the choice between the host of a dull top 40 morning show and a hot blond, hot blond wins every time.
