Sabres upcoming road games to be televised after all

[Dr. Lecter]

MONTREAL — The Buffalo Sabres reached a deal today with MSG Network and the National Hockey League to televise four road games that were previously scheduled to be aired only on the radio.


Minority owner Larry Quinn struck a deal that calls for the Sabres and MSG to split the costs of having the NHL Network's feed during the upcoming four-game road trip to Edmonton, Calgary, Phoenix and Anaheim. The games will be aired on MSG or one of its alternate stations.


The decision to get the games on TV was, in part, a reaction to the backlash from fans. Sabres fans who have grown accustomed to watching every game were angry about them taking the road trip off of their TV schedule. The agreement was completed before the NHL board of governors meetings in Montreal as part of All-Star weekend.

who's the play-by-play guy anyways for Edmonton, Calgary, Phoenix and Anaheim anyways they're probably not as good or better as Rick Jeanneret, no announcer in the NHL is better than Jeanneret.

Almost every NHL game is streamed:

http://www.myp2pforum.eu/nhl-icehockey/

that's how I've been watching the games this year.

A word of warning: I've been able to find the game every time, but sometimes it's a challenge. The games were mislabeled a couple of times, so I had to find it by trial and error. And sometimes the games aren't listed on that ice hockey section. In those cases, click on "Forum" in the ribbon bar across the top and look for the NHL Live Streaming sticky thread.

When they have multiple feed options, I've found the ADTHE feed to be the most reliable (unless Yahoo is streaming the game, which is rare- they stream a game almost every night, but usually it's not the Sabres).
