They meant since the playoffs expanded to 4 rounds in 1975, I believe.

Yep, this is how I do it too.

Get a Tivo, and use the internet radio stream of Rick and Jim. Or, get a Sirius replay radio, those can time shift, and Rick and Jim are usually on there (although, it was the ottawa guys for game 5).

I agree. At the end of last season, when we knew we were out of it, I was screaming at MM to play JP, cause win or lose, his brand of football was so much more exciting to watch than Holcomb's.

I think I saw a mullet in there.

Its okay....WE WON 3-2!!! J P DUUUUUUUUUUUMONT!

I dunno, I usually like CBC, but in this series they are basically rooting for ottawa. I don't necessarily blame them, as they are the canadian team, but it is a national broadcast, they should really try a little harder to not be homers.

Dude! Thats bad karma! this thread should be deleted

Thanks for the "congrats"...i know you like the devils so you like defense....but we gave up an entire year of hockey so that the NHL could get fixed....and that game was the absolute epitome of the new NHL. The whole point of the rule changes were to allow a team to come back in the last minute of a playoff game, instead of letting the team who is up by 1 trap the other team to death and win a 2-1 snoozer. These two teams and this style of play is the future of the NHL, this is what people want to see.

Yes, you'll want the Miracle of Tivo to pause the game for a few seconds till the audio lines up. I've done this several times this year.

Its called the Lowsmand Trophy, and its awarded to Mr. Irrelevant every year: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowsman_Trophy This trohpy is only 1 'w' away from our starting QB....

Grier has been one of the best Sabres in the playoffs so far. He doesn't show up on the scoresheet much, but has been all over the flyers, hitting, grinding, penalty killing, etc. I think him getting the 3rd star as as much for his play yesterday as it was for his play in the whole series.

I wasn't all that impressed. I actually like Emerick's voice as an announcer, but the color guy talked way too much, so he couldn't announce the action. At one point in the game, they were babbling on about how much the Canadian dollar is worth, instead of calling the action on the ice. Oh, and Cammie Granato still doesn't have "it" to be a TV personality. I thought she was better yesterday than she was during the olympics, but she still wasn't very entertaining.

He will not be suspended for the hit. I haven't seen his hit on Wellwood, but many people said it was very similar to the one on Vanek...the only difference is that Vanek didn't get hurt.

I remember the Earl of Bud...we used to split seasons tix in the reds, and he danced right across from us. I was too young then to be buying beers....its too bad he isn't still around (or at least isn't doing his dance). Come to think of it, its too bad that we aren't playing at the Aud anymore, that was such a great barn :-(

Yeah, it was kinda sick actually. Look at the way his arm doesn't move as he falls....I'm pretty sure he was unconcious long before he ever hit the ice. Campbell isn't that big a guy, but when he lines someone up, he can really lower the boom. Even though I hate the flyers, I hope that guy is OK....thats the kind of hit that can end careers.

Well, to answer my own question, McFaddens does not have OLN, so the game won't be shown there tonight. But, the games on Monday and Wednesday will be shown there, so I hope to see some of you there next week!

I believe it is only on OLN unless you live in Buffalo, in which case it will be on MSG. My Center Ice does not have the game listed.

Thats kinda surprising....I remember going to Bandits games when they first started, and the place was packed. However, I went to one 3 or 4 years ago, and there was hardly anyone there. Good to see they are getting crowds there again though. I wonder if the Sabres' success has anything to do with that (getting people excited to go out to the arena)

Does anyone know if McFadden's managed to get OLN in time for the Sabres game tonight? I had been planning on going, but an email went out to NYCBBB yesterday saying that they might not have the game tonight...Can somebody post here if they hear otherwise?

I'm going to game 4
