‘All games air weeknights at 8 p.m. on MSG and the MSG Go app. They then will appear the next day on a special Sabres Classic Games video channel that has been created on NHL.com.’

‘History shows it’s not the pie-in-the-sky scenario some would lead you to believe. Briere reportedly would have accepted a five-year, $25 million offer if it was presented before or during the season and, in the fall of 2006, Drury agreed to terms with the Sabres on a four-year, $21.5 million offer. The combined average annual value: $10.375 million, a considerable discount to retain the heart and soul of a team that had just won the Presidents’ Trophy.’

‘”I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe at home,” Skinner said on an Instagram post Wednesday. “I know unfortunately not everyone is able to stay home during these difficult times. I want to say thank you to all of our hospital workers that are on the frontlines helping to care for all of those that have been affected by the virus. I’m proud to join my teammates in support of Kim and Terry Pegula’s efforts towards helping out our Western New York community. I’m donating $53,000 to the fund they created that will go towards helping health care workers and organizations that will provide food to those in need.”‘

‘”Whether you agreed with it or not, I thought it was a goofy rule to begin with but it was the rule. And it had been called all year. Everyone knew it wasn’t a goal but everyone was on the ice. It was too late. You just live with it.”‘

‘“I think it’s tough to say what the rest of the season might look like because, to be honest with you, I can’t imagine the NHL really knows much right now about what the future holds for us just because of the fact that I really don’t think the world knows what’s going to happen,” Eichel said. “I think with just that, you know, obviously we don’t want to have that much time off. … I really just don’t know how to go about predicting what’s going to happen over the next few weeks because it’s so unknown.”’

‘The move wasn’t talked about much on trade deadline day because the Sabres acquired veteran power forward Wayne Simmonds, but Kahun has the potential to be a top-six forward in Buffalo and could be the more impactful acquisition.’

‘The programming will include both NBC game broadcasts as well as NHL Network’s orginial documentary on the 2008 game and the four-part reality series “Road to the 2018 Winter Classic” produced by the league and aired on NBC Sports Network.’

‘Simmonds, now 31, has used his platform as a well-respected NHL player to try to make hockey accessible to everyone, no matter their socioeconomic background. Over his 12 NHL seasons, Simmonds has scored 251 regular-season goals while demonstrating passionate leadership and an impenetrable loyalty toward teammates.’

‘All games air on MSG starting at 8 p.m. as well as the MSG Go app. They will then be available the following day at noon on the Sabres’ YouTube channel.’

‘Samuelsson also served as captain for Western Michigan this season and filled the same role for the United States at this past IIHF World Junior Championship. He participated in each of the last two tournaments, helping the country win a silver medal in January 2019.’
