GDT: 4/5/2022, Hurricanes @ Sabres, 7pm on ESPN+ 📺 WGR 📻

[LGR4GM]

Carolina is good but they are beatable. Buffalo needs to get back to winning after losing to Florida, I expect Anderson in net and a Cozens goal tonight. 

[LGR4GM]

Lines against Florida, doubt we see changes other than goaltending 

 

[PromoTheRobot]

Last minute decision to see Joywave in Boston tonight so I'll have to watch on replay.

[Doohicksie]

Uh oh... the dreaded "ESPN+ game."  Sorry, WNYers!

Let's hope they kick butt.

[That Aud Smell]

Foot on the gas until there are no more games to play.

Let's go, Buffalo. 

Minced Wraps!

[Mustache of God]

We're due for a win. Let's beat these hosers!

[JohnC]

I have Directv's Center Ice package. Whenever I can't watch the game because it is on ESPN+ I feel that I have been cheated. ☠️

Where are you located (which country)?  Just order ESPN+ for tonight; I think you can get a free trial for a week or something.  And unless you don't have WiFi in your house, just get ESPN+ going forward.  It's cheaper.

ESPN+ does not show pre game or post game shows.  I don’t like that but it’s all I can do right now.

Saw them in DC Friday night. Super fun. I love the new album.

They’ve been few and far between. Our centre spine has 21 goals in the 2nd half of the year; Tage has 17 of them.

Dylan and Casey have been getting lots of assists, but the goals have been hard to come by.

[Stads]

Do we still hate the Hurricanes? I forgot. 

Manischewitz Wine!

Be great to beat the Moist Winds of Carolina on a beautiful spring day in WNY.

Ugh.  I haven’t seen a defenseman so poor in his own zone since David Cooper.

I couldn’t care less what the ”we” consensus is. I don’t like the candy canes.

what are your feelings on the canes?

Same here.  I liked NHL.tv much better.

Apparently some teams do show their pre- and postgame shows on ESPN+, but not MSG.  BOO!

MSG definitely needs to get it in gear and show their pre-game show on ESPN+. And ESPN+ needs to get time markers in their playback feature of intermissions, goals, and penalties. And a quick-launch app.

You get what you pay for. 

Honestly, if I had the choice to pay for ESPN+ for $84 per year or NHL.tv for $160 per year, I'd pay the extra to get the pre- and postgame.

I don’t think MSG has any control over the content shown on ESPN+

I think they do, actually.  ESPN+ is airing the pre- and postgames of other local sports networks, so it would appear to be a choice of the  local sports network.

If I had to guess, MSG wants ESPN+ to pay extra for the extra content while the other networks include it in the game coverage.
