Hoss Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Might have some potential for Rochester this year too, although I suspect the wingers will be higher up the depth chart there than Dupuy, who will be behind McGinn, Varone and Schaller. No chance McGinn is in Rochester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 No chance McGinn is in Rochester. Sorry, absolutely not. I meant Cal O'Reilly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Called WGR. Said neither the team or the station had anything planned. That is just stupid. It's Eichel"s first game in Blue and Gold. Agreed. I can't imagine it's that expensive/difficult to stream it. I have no idea why they would do it last year and not this year, especially as you point out, Eichel is here.

TrueBlueGED Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Agreed. I can't imagine it's that expensive/difficult to stream it. I have no idea why they would do it last year and not this year, especially as you point out, Eichel is here. Even if it was, who cares? The team asked the fans to suffer for two years, and now won't even let the out-of-towners get a sniff of the spoils? Ridiculous. PA must be rolling over in his e-grave.

LabattBlue Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 While Pegula is willing to spend and spend and spend, sometimes I get the impression that there aren't the sharpest tools in the shed making decisions at FNC that he normally would leave up to them. That being said, it is a rookie intra-squad scrimmage, not a game. I'd be more upset if I can't see his first preseason games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Sorry, absolutely not. I meant Cal O'Reilly. Gotcha. I'm looking forward to seeing how Rochester's lineup shakes out. They're loaded with forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods-racer Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm not going out on a limb by assuming that they have video guy there filming the scrimmage, but not knowing enough about the rest of the inter webs workings I am also going to assume it can't be that hard to stream that video, right?

PromoTheRobot Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) I'm not going out on a limb by assuming that they have video guy there filming the scrimmage, but not knowing enough about the rest of the inter webs workings I am also going to assume it can't be that hard to stream that video, right? Especially when they will have game operations people shooting the game for the in-house video for replays, etc. Now they may not have a play-by-play announcer lined up, but a video stream with just the ambient sound is good enough for me. That being said, it is a rookie intra-squad scrimmage, not a game. I'd be more upset if I can't see his first preseason games. Which they thought enough to broadcast last year. Did interest fall off with Eichel? Edited July 10, 2015 by PromoTheRobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Catenacci - Dupuy - Bailey The Greyhounds They should have put Olofsson with Eichel-Rodrigues. I'd be comfortable calling that the BU line since that's probably the closest name to Oksanen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed no in house replays for a scrimmage, those that have gone in the last few years will have to lets us know if there are any.

If there are going to be highlights, that means video production people will be working, which means there is video that can be streamed.

Jeanbe Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 So I'm going tonight, and if the game was streaming...I'd still be going. I want to see it in person, and I suspect I'm not the only one. Not putting it online is just a poor decision. I already have the date marked for when the Sabres are here in PHX. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanbe Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 They may not be streaming because they are also charging $10 for the first time ever. Streaming would cut down on revenue fixed BOOM! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 They may not be streaming because they are also charging $10 for the first time ever.

Brawndo Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 BrIan Duff did the play by play last year for the scrimmage IIRC. In terms of color analyst Paul Hamilton, Matthew Coller or even Kris Baker from Sabres Prospects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Which means they are making money on this for the 1st time. They can afford to stream it . At only $10 a pop though, and with all the people they have to hire to work at the arena, could they actually lose money on this game?

I bet that's balanced out by the number of Eichel jersey orders they'll be taking tonight. The timing of the number announcement is all too convenient.
