Game Twenty-Four Open Thread: Predators at Sabres
In hindsight, I guess the whole Max Afinogenov or JP Dumont question is a little clearer today than it was three years ago, huh?

I am a born and raised Buffalo fan since my birth in Niagara Falls in 1977. For reference, my first communion gift from my parents was a replica Sabres Home White Mike Ramsey jersey. I still have that jersey. After stints at Georgetown and the U.S. Army, I have settled in DC where my Sabres, Bills and Hoyas passion runs unabated (I have season tickets to all 3). I believe that while supporting my franchises is good, I believe supporting them with data and statistics is better. -

hello?? HELLO!!!!!!
Good PK.
Is it just me, or does the ice look better suited for this team than Saturday? I know the team was tired, but they just seemed to play re-active instead of pro-active. The surface at Bell Centre just looked like crap.
Not too many chances for either team so far tonight.
But there was one for Buffalo.
First penalty. I guess that’s what a defensive game is all about?
I’m still getting used to being able to watch games – it’s been over two seasons.
Let’s hope they can give you something good to celebrate watching, DaveD.
Time-Warner is the devil. Went to Dish 10 days ago. Still getting used to being able to watch every game.
This isn’t the same style as 05-06! Go figure….
We do and always have gotten all games with Time Warner.
And Val STILL works at Time Warner.
You two both OBVIOUSLY don’t live 100 miles away in Millcreek PA.
I can’t even order NHL Center Ice.
http://www.wgr550.com has been my only refuge. They even black out the games on HDNET.
Commercial break – so let me explain. I get the following in HD through Time-Warner Northeast Ohio:
HDNET
HDNEt Movie
STO (Sportstime Ohio)
TBS
TNT
Universal
And two of the five local channels.
I should say *had*. With dish I get a bit more.
Nope, we’re here on the West Side of Buffalo. Paul Gaustad lives about 3 1/2 blocks away and patronizes the restaurant/bar a block away.
Damn; we thought about Center Ice, and are really pissed that the Big Ten Network is not available here.
We get that – Big 10. But only in analog. The supposed “digital” chaneel (channel 70) never works.
Oops, worked.
I did get a snail mail from TWNEO today – “Dear valued customer”… explaining the channel changes that are months overdue.
Funny thing – they still don’t offer MSG+ (or WNY MSG) at any tier. We used to get Empire back in the Adelphia days. And with Direct TV MSG+ is considered a local sports channel.
Time-Warner? They black us out like we can get MSG. Yet the only games I was able to get for two seasons were Versus and Fox Sports Pittsburgh.
End of rant.
Val, Time-Warner has a ton of good people work for them. (I know, I spoke to quite a few trying to get NHL Center Ice and wondering why my cable/internal were cut off a few weeks ago.)
Let’s table this and see if we can get one in before the next intermission.
Or at least see Peters get into a bout with Bielak or someone.
Quite a bit different style than 05-06. Back then 0-0 at this point would have me pacing.
That was a good shift by Mair.
Yeah, there was a wee bit more skating and shooting back in 2005-06.
It almost looks like each team is waiting for someone to spark them.
I guess there were worse calls last Friday.
Oops. I meant worse NON-calls.
Damn damn damn.
Just when Buffalo started to show some life, a giveaway leads to a fortunate goal for Nashville.
Holy crap, what a save by Miller.
Wow, that second goal really sucks.
Looks like the sabres are turning into the bills right quick.

I’ll second what 289 already said on Deadspin this morning..
Good riddance you cocksucking son of a bitch!
