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 ), 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.

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

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.

they used to under estimate crap teams..

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.

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.
