... Posted September 20, 2018 Report Posted September 20, 2018 Mods, if this topic was brought up else, please feel free to remove or move this one (although PM me so I know what happened). I can not find anywhere Sabres' games listed on MSG except for one in October, one in November, and one in December. Anyone know anything about this? Quote
... Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Posted September 20, 2018 It's a serious question, BTW. I really think I may have missed a memo. etc. Quote
Two or less Posted September 20, 2018 Report Posted September 20, 2018 Every Sabres game will be aired on either MSG or NBCSN. Is that what you are asking? Quote
LTS Posted September 20, 2018 Report Posted September 20, 2018 If you look at the Sabres site and their schedule it does not list MSG as a network on any games. It really only lists the other team's network or the national network. Even when you see MSG it seems it apply to an Islanders/Devils/Rangers game. Basically they must be operating under the assumption that all games are on MSG unless otherwise noted. However, it is odd that they list the away team network. This is also what confused me with the pre-season schedule as none of the games were listed as MSG but there are some that are on MSG (and some aren't). They all say WGR550 however. Quote

No. I'm asking IF every game will be on MSG or NBCSN. 11 minutes ago, LTS said: If you look at the Sabres site and their schedule it does not list MSG as a network on any games.

The same is true for the schedule on MSG's site. No where that I could find does it say "games will be broadcast on MSG unless otherwise noted" or some such thing. If someone knows of a definitive statement to this effect written somewhere, I'd appreciate being pointed to it. Edited September 20, 2018 by ... Quote
sabills Posted September 20, 2018 Report Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) This is a little weird. The Schedule on MSG's Sabres specific site lists other channels as the TV broadcast...https://www.msgnetworks.com/teams/sabres/schedule/ EDIT: ESPN shows a similar schedule, and they have a slot for TV and Local TV Edited September 20, 2018 by sabills 1 Quote
... Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Posted September 20, 2018 This is what I'm talking about. Quote
... Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Posted September 21, 2018 I can't believe no one finds it odd only 9 games out of the entire season are scheduled for MSG. Other than the NBCSN games, then, would someone tell me how you plan on watching the games on TV? Quote

There is a 100% probability that this is down to somebody goofing up something somewhere on the website end. If the games weren't going to be on MSG it would have been mentioned before now. Quote
sabills Posted September 21, 2018 Report Posted September 21, 2018 I feel like we'd know by now for sure. I have a feeling its basically that MSG doesn't really care about about its Sabres coverage and so doesn't bother updating the site. Quote

The Islanders only have when they are on MSG+. I guess it saves ink. 1 Quote

Whatever the reason, it's kind of amateur for them to make the assumption "everyone knows". They should at least have some sort of statement about all games on yadda yadda unless otherwise noted.

LTS Posted September 22, 2018 Report Posted September 22, 2018 I'm pretty confident that they had it listed last year. Either way. Quote
