Horsesh*t. What if MSG does this during a playoff game?? This is why we need our own Western New York sports network. Then maybe I could get Sabres in HD on Fios. Perhaps Pegula can throw a few hundred million into starting that network.

F**KING Time Warner Albany decided to cut me off.

 

3:30pm hit right at the faceoff with 1:17 left, so they switched to the MAAC basketball tournament game...one which just went to halftime.

We were discussing Vanek. If you think he hasn't improved that part of his game you haven't been paying attention.

I'm on record saying he's the best player on the team and should be the captain. I just wanted to know what other players you had in mind for this.

I'll give'm credit. Gaustad and Kaleta played some playoff type shifts.

 

Stafford has just been absolutely floating though on D the past few games. It looks like Pegula must have signed him to the extension already, because he is just standing still and poking stick.

Yup, this is when I begin to miss Empire.

And I tune in online to try to hear the play by play and it is a dude in the studio? If we are looking to upgrade the little things with this organization, the broadcast coverage has to be one of them. Let's get off of a network where the team is clearly an afterthought.

I watched on time warner ch 700 in hd. I didn't have any issues with the feed.

I did. Probably has to do with the region. I'm in the Syracuse area.

Biggest W of the year?

Definitely. They looked dead in the water and came back against the best team in the conference.

 

Important to note that our first goal (that got us back in the game after we were being dominated for over a period) and the game winning goal were both due to great passes by Vanek.

I miss empire too. Hopefully the new regime work on creating something similar.

I give Rick props for bringing it up in the third period that he was wrong about the high stick on Myers (he complained it should have been a penalty when it was in fact a Sabres player's stick that cut him), but he said "thanks to the war room in Toronto for pointing that out." I'm just wondering how often the war room in Toronto "points out" these kind of things... did they give Versus a call when the announcers complained Ennis took a dive against Carolina?

I had it on Center Ice and same issue as others (feed cut to college basketball with 1:17 to go). :censored: At least they won, glad Gerbe/Goose got rewarded at the end.

So how do we start the complaints about this? Is there some email address that nobody reads that we can vent to?

Anyhoo, terrific win. Perhaps if Hecht comes back we can drop Connolly down even further in the rotation? The Boyes at center experiment was not great for most of the game (didn't seem too interested in winning faceoffs) but he started that last beautiful goal.

Posted

Yea boyes clearly has faceoff issues and someone needs to start teaching him how to take them but as far as other aspects of him at center he controls the puck well and seems to be able to pass it around.

Posted

Looked like Pommer took over faceoffs for him late in the game. I know Boyes got kicked out of one but I'm almost certain I saw Pommer take at least two more faceoffs later on.

I couldn't believe MSG! Pulling a game with 90 secs left with teh goalie pulled and they didn't even show sports! They MSG execs and producers should be forced to watch Heidi for 24 hours straight. My only problem with the Sabres starting their own network, will Albany have access. Before the Sabres fell into MSG, we didn't get Empire (at least on TWC).

Sekera with 8 points in 4 games. WOW.

 

He's just 24 years old too. He should be able to address whatever issues he currently has and round out into an awesome player for us long term.
