(*denotes NBC Sports Network exclusive Game of the Week)
(** game will be shown on MSG in Buffalo/Rochester market)

Buffalo will have its remaining 70 games broadcast on MSG in the Buffalo/Rochester market. MSG is entering the sixth year of a 10-year extension to broadcast Sabres games locally.

Additionally, the NHL Network will be airing two Sabres games in 2012-13: Nov. 17 at Philadelphia and Dec. 1 at Boston.

Of course, 2 of them are the Washington games, so I get screwed out of 2 games that would have been on local TV anyway.

Might be going to the October 24th game as the 23rd is my Birthday. That is if they are even playing.

They are in DC on St Pat's Day. That could be a drunken nightmare for me, especially since it's a Sunday and I'll have all day to drink without work screwing things up.
