I don't know why you guys get so many national games. - BINGO!
The percentage of households that tune in is always in the top 3 in the league. But we're a small market, so it sort of balances. Sometimes Buffalo is number 2 in ratings for the SCF though.
Either way, I never want to watch the national broadcasts

Doc sucks.
It'll be better when Forslund takes over full time.
Martavis Bryant told ESPN's Josina Anderson that if his role in the Steelers offense doesn't change, he wants out, citing the need to support family. If nothing changes and there's no trade, according to Anderson, he's prepared to play out his contract and leave after '18.

Will blow for Canes fans, though. - BINGO!
Gord Miller does a number of games for NBCSN every year. I wouldn't be surprised to see NBC offer him a decent contract to be the number #1 guy whenever Emrick retires. I'm not sure when his TSN contract is up, though.
Dude, I also get furious when people call Buffalo "upstate", especially locals.
Like, oh my god, look at a (frank)ing map.
We're Called WESTERN New York for a reason. - BeadyEyedDouche
The national TV audience probably thinks Buffalo is somewhere near Poughkeepsie, or deep in the Adirondaks.
Another gem from the NHL series that's burned into my head. Emerick had to say when you would score with vanek: "Not bad for a guy born and raised in Austria!"

First of all, what the hell does he have against Austria? Second, how this guy gets any kind of praise for anything he does is beyond me. His voice, his face, his play-by-play, all awful.
And he obviously doesn't do his research, because anyone who watches hockey would have said "Uh, Thomas Vanek grew up in America, bud." when asked to read that line.
