Is Sling the only option for streaming NHL network ? I’m getting close to cutting the cord. My friends have advised me to get YouTube tv but they don’t have nhl network.
-
Why the SEC commissioner? Its the BIG 10 commissioner that is incompetent
-
Sorry GASabres but IU just canceled their game against Purdue.
-
I’m not saying Michigan has the same standards for athletes as the rest of its student body, but different schools have radically different levels of tolerance for illiteracy and criminal behavior and Juco transfers.
-
That was 30 years ago. Times have changed at some schools. Michigan has only taken a few JUCO transfers in. its history. There is a huge difference in admission standards for recruited athletes between Michigan and Ohio State.
-
Failing to improve the goaltending is a critical mistake. Also not addressing the imbalance of RD vs LD is highly problematic. Another huge issue is the division reallignment has placed the sabres in a very compeitive situation.

Sabres Valued 28th out of 31 NHL Teams per Forbes

Making the playoffs with no fans in the stands is not going to close the gap. -
Sabres Valued 28th out of 31 NHL Teams per Forbes

Whether you want to hear owners complains is irrelevant. The system is not currently viable based on a 50/50 partnership with the players. Labor strife will happen next year unless some massive TV deal is done to account for the owners huge losses. With playoff TV ratings among the lowest ever I'm not sure a super lucrative TV deal is on the table. -
Sabres Valued 28th out of 31 NHL Teams per Forbes

Brian Burke on the Hockey Central podcast said the Forbes article way overvalued the franchise values. He said the money problems are real and the current deal with the players is not sustainable. The players will be owing the owners over a billion dollars by the end of next year. Apparently the Pegulas stand to lose 60 million dollars this year and according to Paul Hamilton and they were some of the owners that were against playing this year on the current CBA -
I don't think you have any knowledge of the Michigan program at all. This has been a recurring problem with numerous top recruits not being approved by the admissions office.
-
Michigan has much higher academic standards than UNC for athletes. I think that is part of Harbaughs frustration with the administration.
-
You have a short memory. It was just a few years ago, Irish fans were calling for Kelly to be fired. Notre Dame is a great program but they don't compete with the big 3. and beating Clemson with a true freshman qb doesn't count.
-
You are clueless to say Harbaugh is a bad coach. He led 2 teams to NFC championship game and had success at Stanford and San Diego state. Michigan is not going to compete with Ohio State, Alabama and Clemson. Michigan has much higher admission standards and will not admit criminals and illiterates. Michigan has largely struggled due to absence of a stud QB.
-
Agree. There is no chance Brown is back unless he takes a massive salary cut.
-
Huge win for IU playing with a backup QB. Hopefully we see IU vs NU in Big 10 championship but I think they will change the rules to allow Ohio State to play. I’m hearing rumors that Harbaugh is signing a 3 year extension. I know that won’t make Eleven happy but it’s the best move for Michigan. Ok
-
I’m bummed that both my teams Northwestern and Michigan had their games canceled. IU loses its QB with a torn ACL and now the Big 10 is changing its rules to allow Ohio State to play in BIG championship game so they can make the playoffs. I hate Ohio State.
-
Beating Clemson with a true freshman QB is not a legitimate win and you know it.
-
I think your opinion of Mitts is like your opinion of Botteril, you are far too kind and sympathetic to the underachievers. Mitts has shown nothing yet that suggests he will be successful as an NHL player. I’m hopeful with another year of development he can make the team.
-
Mitts would be better off playing in Europe. This is a critical development year.
-
I don’t think Mitts has any chance of making Sabres initially. The issue is if there is no AHL season where does he play? I’m not sure what options there are but sitting in the press box for the Sabres is not good for his development.
-
No doubt. Although I’m worried we’re about to hear about a labor dispute rather than on ice hockey.
-
This is not worthy of discussion. Send it to the political forum.
-
What is the correct demographic to get the vaccine 1st? It sounds like you should be eligible.
-
My favorite Sabre needless to say. I remember getting a signed autograph from him at his house when I was 8 years old.
-
They would have to take Okposo to make the money work unless they retained a huge amount.
