LETS GO SLUG-A-LO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pyrrhonist]

I try not to be as pessimistic about our boys in blue & gold anymore, but damn, I can't get over this potential "pitfall" game. The Bruins suck (Even if some "experts" thought they'd be a great team again :rolleyes: ), but Buffalo has done fine with the upper tier teams. It seems only fitting they'd lose their 1st game against a crap team.

Of course, I hope I'm wrong. :down:

[SABuffalo786]

I think we'll win in OT tonight and lose in OT at Monteral next week.

[pyrrhonist]

I'd rather you be right than me, but I just can't shake the weird feeling. Besides, Buffalo, even in their lowest times (Just years ago), would always seem to struggle against so-called "crap" teams.

[SkateZilla]

they used to under estimate crap teams..

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

Sabres can tie they're undefeated record tonight 8-0 the last time the Sabres were 8-0 was in the 1975-76 season. The record is 10-0 set by Toronto, They shouldn't lose tonight don't turn the puck over like they were doing continously doing last night and stay out of the penalty box. Oh and look for Biron to be in net either tonight or Mon. in Montreal.

[im4bflo]

What's with the negative energy?!!!
This team is going to beat all the old Sabre records.
Let's GO, SLUG-A-LO!

[SkateZilla]

lossman, download the GIF and upload to your own space... :) Cheers...

[Typ0]

we are not going to lost tonight. we are going to win by a margin gained late in the second period.

[im4bflo]

:beer: "Let's GO, SLUG-A-LO!" :cheers:
:beers: :drunks: :beers: :boozer: :beer: :beers:

[The_Philster]

Biron in goal tonight

[pyrrhonist]

What's with the negative energy?!!!

Irony alert! :D

I hope that I'm wrong, of course.

As I type this, #$%&@ Boston ties it, 1-1. :mad:

Question:

Since DirecTV's Centre Ice coverage is subpar to DISH's (Only 1 choice of feed per game, unlike DISH, which carried both feeds, typically), and I'm getting the NESN feed on 769....If I had the Sports Package, and got the local market channels, would I be able to view the MSG feed on 627?

Maybe a better way to ask it is for you with DirecTV near the Buffalo area, what channel are you viewing the game on? Thanks. :up:

627

[pyrrhonist]

Thank you kindly! :cool:

[SkateZilla]

i tried to back door the Comcast Video Stream from their site, and got a Feed saying i was in the black out region.. lol... least i know the back door worked though,

Center Ice is Only Carry Regional Feeds Now Supposedly, thaks to what they did when we were stomping philly in the play offs..

[The_Philster]

Pominville puts us up by 2 on the PP!!

[MikeInRoch]

WOW is this team fun to watch!

[Typ0]

Thank you kindly! :cool:


I think the other channel they broadcast on is 625 but I'm not absolutely sure. We get most of the games on 627.

[Historian]

That second goal was comical, wasn't it?

[The_Philster]

Maxim makes it 4-1...Top shelf!!

[Typ0]

that last one was pretty. These guys play as a team for sure.

[OpIv37]

damn this team is good. They just blew this one wide open yet again.

[Philagape]

DRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY

Another gaffe by the goalie!

[The_Philster]

Vanek..top shelf!!
6-2 Buffalo!!

[Philagape]

Vanek on the breakaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE WANT SEVEN!!

[Bufftp]

Scary Good is no longer is the appropriate descriptive!

[Meathead]

another nhl vs ahl looking game for the slugs

[MikeInRoch]

I could easily get spoiled watching this team. Enjoy it, gentlemen.

[YardRat]

They play hard and with a purpose. The entire team is just a treat to watch.

There isn't a more talented squad top to bottom in the entire league. Not even close at this point.

[im4bflo]

They've got some pretty good fans also!

[Philagape]

Elsewhere in the division, the Senators and Habs each scored 8 tonight. The Sens chased Brodeur.

[pyrrhonist]

Vanek was playing his ass off yet again. I am very, very pleased he has lived up to the same potential he showed in the NCAA (Even if he beat my Wolverines :mad: :D ) this season. :dance:
