So does a firestick actually allow you some way to stream the games? And is that some legal loophole or is it IP spoofing? And where did you see that the NHL would be part of the ESPN Deal?

I pay for DirectV just so I can watch the Sabres games. I watch the Bills in my shop over a an antennae and feel I pay for it in the endless erectile disfunction and beer ads I am forced to watch. When a game is on the NFL Network I head out to watch with friends. My wife watches Game of Thrones on HBO. We spend over 1300 dolars a year on this and everything else we watch on Netflix and Amazon Prime which have their own fees. With the Disney News yesterday it's clear a streaming world is the future. I want to pay to watch legally, but not 1200 dollars legally. I am sure it has been said that Center Ice blacks out local games and I am not interested in IP spoofing. I own a software company and understand rights. So does anyone know of a legal way and or have knowledge of anything coming anytime soon that would resolve this?

Went to All Greater Rochester awards banquet. My son is an awesome Nordic skier. Great event with Kyle Williams and Jack Eichel. Great interviews by Sal M. Anyway Jack admitted he was proud to be at awards but would rather be in Vegas. You could feel the fire.

No axe to grind. If you lived through his playing career here, it was a pretty big let down. If they made the playoffs they lost right away. I always wished he played offense and that we did have a tougher defense. But playing careers and coaching are two different thing. #betterthanbylsma

This. I was in that camp. He even got his number. I was incensed. But you couldn't deny his talent. But that was a rough patch for the Sabres.

I'm with the yse325 regarding developement........All this talk of making the Amerks better is refreshing. I live in the Roch area and the product on ice is not good. It's too expensive to take my whole family to see the Sabres, but we used to go see Amerks games and always had fune, even if it was almost always a loss and the arena was lifeless. Here is to a brighter future.

This is the complaint thread, but "is circling the drain (a phrase I picked up from my ICU nurse wife)" just made me laugh out loud. Imaging the nurses station patient report in. BTW.....Sorry for every bodies pet problems. We grow so close. I have a very overconfident customer who is quick to point the finger at perceived faults in our software when every time his problems have been the "garbage in, garbage out" variety. Because he's on a 30 day money back guarantee, I've had to politely walk on eggshells and not make him look bad, when in fact he's the biggest arrogant jerk I may have ever worked with, who should own his mistakes. And he refuses to finish his training.

I'm old. 1. London Calling (least favorite song is "London Calling") 2. My aim is true -Elvis Costello 3. CCR's greatest hits (guilty pleasure. Great band, Great songwriting) 4. Who's next or Quadraphenia 5. Talking Heads - Remain in Light.

Great thread It took 6 pages for the Clash to show up. Like a streaking comet a short lived but absolutely brilliant band. Still sound fresh today. Amazed that my teenage children have glommed onto them. I grew up in a tiny town and they opened up the world to me. Other things. Agree.....DMB can't keep mediocrity at bay. Wasn't a huge Beatles fan until I started playing their music. And there are many great musicians, but not as many great songwriters. I value the latter most (see Bob Dylan).

This is what it has come to. I thought the tank was as low as it could get.

Noticed the calories and high alcohol content in craft beer. And the high cost. I'm drinking rolling rock and feel like I'm in college again. I think that industry is over-saturated and these corporate boys are getting smarter. Uh-Oh.

You kids who don't remember Schoney, he was the real deal to me. There aren't many pro players in any sport that I idolize, but as a kid only 10 when they became a franchise, and growing through my teens as a true Sabres fan, he was the real deal to me with great heart. Backed up his teammates, played hard, and could skate. Plus he'd beat the snot out of anyone who messed with his goalies or the skill guys.

Thanks for that. It's true that even when I'd go with my kids I'd be thinking about memories with my folks. Walking down the echoing tunnels at the old Aud because we usually sat in the Oranges and singing "Ooh Ahhh, Sabres on the Warpath". My parents didn't have much money so we'd always park so far away I'd be frozen by the time we got to the car. Sit between the two on that big bench seat in the front of the station wagon. You are right. It's different.

I'm in the "because Buffalo" camp. Vegas baby! Hope I'm wrong.

I'm 55. I was 10 when the Sabres came to be. First game was the "Fog Game". Look at posts for details. Watched or listened to every game for all but the college years and the years I couldn't tune them into my AM radio at night when I listened from Westchester county. Moved into my current house when the Dallas thing happened.....had to go to a bar and watch because we couldn't afford cable. Went to a playoff game in every series since Philadelphia in 76. But this was by far the worst. For a few reasons.....lost my Dad who took me to my first game back in the aud and the thought that I could be like my mom and uncle and him who just watched ten years of bad hockey and then........ Took my kids to three games. No atmosphere. Lifeless play. Stupid turnovers. Ineffective coaching. And just a bad game experience. I tried to talk it up, try to make the kids feel what a real hockey experience could be like. Realization that they will probably never catch hockey fever watching this crap. I feel like a failure as a hockey dad.

Great Post. I take my kids to a game each year. It's not the same. They are fans because I'm a fan. No connection. When Jerry Korab gave me a stick at the old aud I was a fan forever.

This.

I tore the window clings off m car last night I was so p%*(d. Yes it was a childish outburst I'm not proud of. But I hate Toronto and to see all those smug fans in our seats falls on ownership. I'd sell my tickets too rather than watch this misery. I'm still a fan, but I'm embarrassed about the state of the team and "suffering". I got texts last night from my die hard Ranger, Flyers and Sens friends after the 3-0 beat down start. How many years can this go on? I took my kids to losses this year and the energy level was so low. Blaming that on anything other than dysfunction is myopic. To me it falls on ownership, GM and coach. Until Bylsma is gone and possibly Murray, I'll not be advertising this team and "suffering" on anyone by flouting my gear.

Is there video of Crosby's nut shot?

I'm having a Monday......thanks for making it worse.

Watching this right now. It is unfair, but the Sabres will wait. (With any luck they will get better). I lost my mother suddenly when she was 67. Not a day goes buy that I don't go to reach for my phone to call her and then remember.........and yeah "your mom IS your mom" Seeing your appreciation of the beauty of your surroundings and watching this video makes me want to buy you a beer and watch a Sabres game together. There will be time for that........

Your in the solar industry? In what capacity? I went solar through my whole house using SED last summer. Awesome stuff.

The joy hockey can bring when its up tempo like these last two games. I couldn't stop singing my version with modified lyrics. Eichel Eichel all day!

This. Perfectly said.

Liberal. Defining how you get there. Here goes. I was in Catholic school and we were learning about other religions. Over the weekend some Jehovah's Witness folk showed up at home and told me I could be a "Chosen person". Based on my newfound knowledge of religion and geography I asked what would happen to people on the other side of the world who didn't have them show up in their driveway? Were they damned? The answer I got was a pause and then "Yes". It was at that point it dawned on me that humans are flawed. Bias takes over and you look for any evidence to support your views. As I got older probably my bias towards looking for examples of this behavior (I survived the Reagan Moral Majority years) led me to observe this over and over. Meanwhile I was experiencing different cultures while I lived in NYC. I'd come home and some of the narrow minded folk would say "How do you live in that cesspool?". Talk about biased with no information! So what I believe leads people down the road of liberalism is observation and reflection. One of my staunch conservative friends had a child born prematurely with severe developmental disabilities and needs major help from county services. He went from a Limbaugh "ditto head" to someone who is growing up. Awesome to see his growth in spite of the circumstances. It was his situation that snapped him out of his bias. I think the media is privy to that "constant look at things from the other side" that leads them to be "liberal". Being liberal to me just means you can put yourself in someone else shoes. Unfortunately, journalism as an income has pushed extreme left and right bias and those who chose to support their own bias get what they want.
