    Sabres getting a new jumbo-tron scoreboard

    from my morning skate podcast on my Ipod

    The Buffalo Sabres are following in the Buffalo Bills footsteps in getting a new HD jumbo-tron scoreboard. Mike Gilbert director of business realations for the Sabres says that they had one already ordered one before the season even started but the manufacturers which he wouldn't say who fell behind but it should be installed this summer. (The original jumbo-tron scoreboard fell to the ice when workers were lowering it to get it ready for the hockey game with the Boston Bruins.) Gilbert says the scoreboard will be like the one that the Air Canada Center has but better. Gilbert says the reason of the new scoreboard is because you can't see the picture on the tv's that well on the jumbo-tron anymore on instant replays "it's obsolete says Gilbert" he also says that all NHL teams will be ditching their old scoreboards and getting HD scoreboards.

          and I found this also doing a google search

          Heres a reply I just recieved from the Sabres regarding broadcasting in HD,I also heard that Larry Quinn wants to incorporate a new HD scoreboard to go along with broadcasting in HD,and that timeframe is 2 years!!! Maybe Mr. TOM G. can donate some cash for this!!!!!


          We hope to be showing some games in HD on MSG in the near future. Nothing will happen this year. The technology is expensive and not many people in the western New York area have HD, the percentages are in the teens. The games are great when seen in HD, though. The technology is there and the games will be on HD in the future, I just don't have a timetable at this juncture. Go Sabres!
