  1. The Thompson Line with Clague and Lybushkin is a bad idea
  2. Thatโ€™s how I look after one
  3. Ink can also win the three legged race by himself Iโ€™ll co-sponsor
  4. With James Dolan owning the Rangers, Knicks as well as MSG Network I imagine He has the pull to convince Bettman to eliminate blackout restrictions.
  5. I believe they will be in it to the end, but will fall short. They have the most difficult remaining schedule, based on remaining opponents winning percentage, with Detroit have the second most difficult and they didnโ€™t bank enough points earlier in the season
  6. Here is what has been announced https://barrettsportsmedia.com/2022/11/15/msg-network-eyes-nba-nhl-second-half-for-streaming-service-launch/ https://nypost.com/2022/11/11/msg-network-plans-to-launch-paid-app-to-show-knicks-and-rangers-games-without-cable/ With a follow up article stating that that they were delaying the release until the Fall as they would not have any summer programming. The Sabres are not mentioned, but I have a feeling thatโ€™s more to do with the articles appealing to the NYC Area.
  7. I actually met Him a few months ago and spent a few minutes talking about the Sabres. He was hopeful for the first time in a long time with the team, hopefully they prove Him correct
  8. Unfortunately this is here to stay as online sports gambling will be a major revenue producer for NHL and its clubs for years to come.
  9. They havenโ€™t announced how much itโ€™s going to be and whether to be charged per month or yearly. The thought process is that MSG gets approximately five dollars a month from cable, Direct TV and Fios subscribers so around $60 a year. Many people especially in the western New York region would probably only sign up from October through May if it was a monthly service and drop it during the off-season. If MSG was to institute that hockey games without local blackout restrictions would be offered it would make sense for them to have only a yearly option to maximize revenue. This would probably make it more palatable for MSG to support lifting of local blackouts. Charging more for a streaming option would also make sense from a financial standpoint for the company as they are providing a desired Service but still allow consumers that do not want to sign up for traditional cable outlets to continue to do so.
