Andy should have had that.

[Zamboni]

Ray just mentioned 50/50 tickets are available on the Sabres website. Does anyone know the link to find that? I must be clicking in the wrong places.

 

nvm … I found it …

It's under the "community" tab on the website.

Nothing to do with following RJ, DD is terrible, and always has been.

He's 'meh' for TV - ball park the same quality as Gurtler's 1st attempt at PbP.  But he absolutely should not be simulcast onto the radio.  He's awful for that medium.

Just to be clear, his 11 year old really did do the design on the Bauer site after telling him he hated the old design.

Unacceptable. They need to do better 

[LGR4GM]

Samuelsson was meh that period

Jokiharju made some iffy passes

Dahlin looked really good

Forwards all kinda blending but Tage and Skinner are both noticeable. 

Mediocre period of hockey from Buffalo. Felt like it took 5min for them to get their feet going and there was far too many long passes to nowhere. Got better when players started to carry the puck a little and the offensive zone started to have some good rotations. Power was good on one of them. Looks like preseason hockey but I like how we seemed to settle in as things went on.

Interesting.  Watching on a laptop so can't really see the details.  Will check 'em out later.  🍺

Not at all

Casey Mittlestadt still makes bad decisions with the puck on his stick.  Constantly putting the puck in bad areas.

Yor mom puts the puck in bad areas.

No volume on website between periods, no bueno…. C’mon SaBres!

[Doohicksie]

Watched the first period but was busy cooking dinner.  It'll be ready shortly and I'll enjoy with a fine local Schwartzbier.

[Taro T]

How hard would it be to switch the sound source during intermission from the muted radio feed to the video board sound?

Apparently the sound is on at the arena but not on the stream.

Yes, when the radio feed goes to commercial they mute the feed.  They also appear to mute the feed during the intermission.

It’s just the embedded video that’s been on the Sabres website for several weeks now. You can easily go see it there with volume.

True, but it should be a very easy switch to let the viewer hear the in rink audio.  Guess for whatever reason they don't want to do that.  Maybe afraid they'll lose clicks to the video?  Which seems a strange concern because WE'RE ALREADY ON THE SABRES WEBSITE.

Yeah they have done everything really back asswards for years regarding preseason games and streaming. It’s quite maddening. I wonder if other teams have the same issues and lack of foresight.

My point.

Thank you Taro T card. 😏
