Apparently Maxim Afinogenov said Buffalo can be depressing. I find that statement depressing... Was always a big fan of his but haven't heard of him since he left here. Guess he doesn't plan on coming back...

imagine the coyotes versus the Buffalo Sabres for the Stanley Cup

I don't think any network would touch that

All about money

Buffalo is one of the best hockey markets in the NHL why wouldn't they want Buffalo?

What would suck for them would be Florida vs Arizona or Carolina vs Arizona

That's why it's important for Matthews not to bust so we can get the American people excited about hockey

Slowly, still inconsistent with really nice areas a block away from poop holes but overall it's really improved. It surprises me every time I go down there.

Who else besides Dallas, Columbus, Arizona, Florida, Carolina, St. Louis, Minnesota, NYI, Anaheim, Colorado, NJ would watch their series? And that's not even mentioning the Canadian clubs. Give me a break Buffalo has just as much clout as those cities when it comes to national viewers.

Only a handful of teams in the league transcend their market just like the NFL. At least with Buffalo NHL would know they would get record breaking viewership in NY

Let's be honest here but pretend you're not from Buffalo etc would you go up to your boss and say I think you should pick up sabers versus coyotes do you risk losing your job ? This is for fun

Pick up? What are you talking about? The teams I mentioned which is well more than half the league have just as much national appeal as Buffalo and sometimes less... You're just trolling if you think a series of Colorado Avalanche vs. Carolina Hurricanes gets more viewers then it would without Buffalo in it. That's the point.

If he ever brought a basketball team back I would drop my team in an instant

The point of all this is is you're not gonna get that many viewers outside of Buffalo maybe in some parts of Carolina because there are a lot of fans out there mainly just Buffalo fans

It was basically a joke because we get no love outside of Buffalo

Right my point is picking on Buffalo just for the sake of it being Buffalo isn't relevant here because as matter of fact more than half the league would get equal to or less then the national viewership the Sabres (a top hockey market) would get, if they made the cup finals as well. So it wouldn't be the awful tragedy you're making it out to be for them.

I was picking on Buffalo itself not the fans you're going to tell me Buffalo gets the respect it deserves outside of Buffalo I don't think so I'm still waiting for us to have a (frank)ing Winter classic

You mean other than the very first one?

NBC absolutely sucks donkey Richard when it comes to being a fourth rate network. They used to have the best shows on TV. ER, Seinfeld, original Law & Order, Frasier, Friends and on and on. It really was "must see TV". But sometime after Seinfeld went off the air it started going downhill, then we hit the "late night wars redux" and we saw just how poorly it was run. And now, it's nothing more than a joke.
