That’s twenty for Cozey

The Sabres did

COZENS

With James Dolan owning the Rangers, Knicks as well as MSG Network I imagine He has the pull to convince Bettman to eliminate blackout restrictions.

I believe they will be in it to the end, but will fall short. They have the most difficult remaining schedule, based on remaining opponents winning percentage, with Detroit have the second most difficult and they didn’t bank enough points earlier in the season

Here is what has been announced https://barrettsportsmedia.com/2022/11/15/msg-network-eyes-nba-nhl-second-half-for-streaming-service-launch/ https://nypost.com/2022/11/11/msg-network-plans-to-launch-paid-app-to-show-knicks-and-rangers-games-without-cable/ With a follow up article stating that that they were delaying the release until the Fall as they would not have any summer programming. The Sabres are not mentioned, but I have a feeling that’s more to do with the articles appealing to the NYC Area.

I actually met Him a few months ago and spent a few minutes talking about the Sabres. He was hopeful for the first time in a long time with the team, hopefully they prove Him correct

Unfortunately this is here to stay as online sports gambling will be a major revenue producer for NHL and its clubs for years to come.

They haven’t announced how much it’s going to be and whether to be charged per month or yearly. The thought process is that MSG gets approximately five dollars a month from cable, Direct TV and Fios subscribers so around $60 a year. Many people especially in the western New York region would probably only sign up from October through May if it was a monthly service and drop it during the off-season. If MSG was to institute that hockey games without local blackout restrictions would be offered it would make sense for them to have only a yearly option to maximize revenue. This would probably make it more palatable for MSG to support lifting of local blackouts. Charging more for a streaming option would also make sense from a financial standpoint for the company as they are providing a desired Service but still allow consumers that do not want to sign up for traditional cable outlets to continue to do so.

It would only be for a single season in 2024-25 as the Power and Dahlin Extensions would start until that year and Chychrun would be in His Final Year of His Contract

I’m excited for Him and Bloom to be in Rochester next year

MSG announced that MSG Plus will debut in the Fall of 2023. Charge a yearly payment of 250 dollars and lift the local blackouts The Sabres get approximately 20 Million per year from MSG, this would probably increase that given the number of people in the WNY Area who are cord cutters

The next post in the Twitter Thread is a chart that teams that get hit more get injured more. I probably should have posted that one as well for clarification.

But Centre is a cooler spelling than Center
