"Frozen outpost"......that is how you describe WPG? Love when the WPG bashing comes from a city known for allits beauty and splendor like Buffalo LOL. Go to a Bills tailgate and get a taste of Buffalo......

I can assure you , that the Sabres are going to feel very welcome here. Espeically Kane and Bogo (who LOVES snow!).

Will be a fun game Sunday and may the prettiest city win!

Perhaps you might find this interesting about Buffalo and its architecture.
Give it a read.

Mike Weber, everyone's whipping boy, a guy for whom I root hard. Has one of the best corsi stats on the team, and is everyones choice to waive to make room for another.

He is a heart and soul player, sacrifices his body, always plays hard. And anyone who pummels Crosby's face has a spot on my team.

darcy's last draft for the sabres may turn out to be his best draft, by a big margin

I know Pegula has bought rights to some sort of station to show the Sabres games and such just was waiting out the MSG contract. I would love to have something like ESN back. But now it will be PSN - The Home of the Sabres!
- BuffaloBigD

Might be home of the Bills too now seeing as he owns them both , right?
Sort of what Empire did back in the day ?
PSN = Pegula Sports Network I assume?
In any case, I would be super stoked to have another local Sports Network back here like Empire.

I'd assume it'd do Bills talk and highlights and things like that. Wouldn't expect to see Bills game taken off CBS and put on PSN. I'd be mad if they did that since I'm not looking to buy cable again. Streaming Sabres games is enough work that I don't want to do it for both

Here it is, 1 year left with WGR for Sabres... 2 years left for the Bills. 2 seasons left with MSG for the Sabres and then they can walk away but will lose 10 million. But i think it will happen for sure. Just in time for the Winter Classic season...

- BuffaloBigD

Yes!
Good detective work BBD.
Thank you.
I was too "Jack Eichel" to look it up.

The NFL controls the media of all regular season and playoff games(not that those matter to us) But the preseason games and interviews and such would be able to go the local network.

From reading that article though it would be tough for them to give up the money, over the last 2 tank years are rating went down by 40% and we still were top 6 in the NHL for viewing. Once we get better, which will be when the contract is up i think a big market station will bid too much money for the Pegulas to turn down.... [/img]

And that's all I'd want. Basically instead of going to ESPN and watching for a few minutes of Bills talk you can go to PSN and get it whenever. Kind of like YES if your a Yankees fan or MSG whenever the Sabres aren't playing and they're talking about the Knicks

Yea.
Of course the Bills games would still be shown on FOX or CBS.
I meant highlights etc. as you suggest.
I should have clarified.
Back in the day the Bills games were all still also carried on the Major Networks and not Empire.
I'm excited about this.
Those were some good times in Buffalo sports history.

You're acting like I want to stick him in the AHL. I want to see him play with a different partner for a few games. He has 2 points in his last 5 games and both of them came on the power play which I'm somewhat sure he isn't paired with Gorges on. Is that really messing with him to the point that it's going to derail his career? Because I don't think it is. Give him 22 minutes a night with Pysyk. Here's a thought, maybe putting Bogo with Gorges would help? Maybe McCabe with Gorges would help. Ristolainen has been really good all season and in the last 5 games has looked okay.

O'Reilly has been producing and we change his linemates. Eichel produces and he gets a different partner each game. If it doesn't work for 5 games there is no rule in the CBA that says they can't be put back together as a pairing.

- Zschalberg

Am I really acting like you want to put Risto in the AHL? What exactly did I say to make you feel that way?

You seem to be getting pretty worked up because I have an opinion you don't like. I stated my opinion. Gave arguments that I feel are reasonable for why I feel this way. Defended my argument when challenged. Did not attack or direct anything at you. Yet seem to want to start a fight over the fact that you don't like that I have an opinion you disagree with.

I didn't act like you wanted to do anything with Risto. Please don't put words in my mouth and realize that not everyone in life is going to agree with you, and that doesn't mean you have to talk to them in a condescending and sarcastic manner.
