Man, the sabres are just snake it right now. Could have won that game 5-2. Trust the process, the goals will come.

And Nohnson looks way better than I would have thought.

Agreed. The goals will come in waves if we keep this up. Since the first period of the Florida game, we have been the better team on the ice. The key is these guys not getting discouraged at the unrewarded hard work.

 

We are one of the better puck possession teams in the league already. After last year, that amazes me.

 

GO SABRES!!!

That was a frustrating game to attend, didn't think I was going to hear "Let me Clear My Throat"!!!!! But when it happened, it was pretty cool and loud! I didn't think it was a good choice originally, but it's perfect when you're there. Another cool moment was the crowd erupting before Eichel's shootout attempt, great moment....And not a ton of Leaf fans, thank you Blue Jays...

I was so pissed last night.

I come home yesterday after a long day at work, followed by a potluck at the church. Kept myself cut off from social media, because I couldn't watch the game live. Get home. Let my dog pee. Let myself pee. Open the fridge. Crack a cold beer. Sit on the couch to watch the game. Turn it on, nothing. Dish didn't show the game. I was pissed.

 

I called them up, livid. They said that "the game must be blacked out in the area." Which I told them was BS, because I'm not in Toronto or Buffalo, and I pay extra to get it. They finally admit they were having problems airing the game. I used to be tech support/customer service for the comany, so I know how it works, but I also know how to play the game.

 

I told them that I wanted a refund on my Center Ice. Then they told me that I could still watch the (one hour condensed) replay on NHL Network this afternoon. I told them I don't pay extra for NHL Network, and maybe DirecTV will be able to show me the live game. They transfered me to the "account specialist" AKA cancelation and free s**t department.

 

When I got there, I told them what happened. They offered me 25% off Center Ice, which they told me was "actually a really good deal, because I'm only missing one game." That's when I told them (because I know how the system works) , not to worry about it tonight, and I can have my lawyer handle it in the morning.

 

I knew that when they heard that, they knew they have to transfer to the "Office of the President." Which is really just a higher escalation team, but they changed the department name to make it seem like you're getting someone really important.

 

I gave them the whole spiel about how I'm paying for a service that I'm not being provided, bla bla bla, Even if I did get a discount, how can I be sure that it's not gonna happen the next game. Finally, after 57 minutes, got my Center Ice completely comped for the year. Worth it.

Just a tip in case anybody else wants to try it.

cmon, they really believed you would get a lawyer over 1 missed hockey game out of 1200 or whatever ? If they did, i would cancel service immediately as people are so freaking dumb company bound to go out of business.

 

Funny, we never have a thread on how to get CI for free like we do for ST...wonder why.

 

And, the Sabres are a good team...once they start to jell and the puck luck starts to even out, i can see them getting on a big time roll round 1/4 pole of the season.

Most people don't go there, so when someone does they tend to give in quickly.

I knew they didn't believe me. I worked for the company, so I knew that, as empty as the threat was, they're required to get me to the higher office, who have bigger fish to fry the Little ol' TRBJ's 150 bucks or whatever it is now.

I have to do this with NFL Gamepass. Middle of last week all of sudden my login isn't showing I've paid so I couldn't listen to the game on Sunday. Sent 3 emails with no answer. I don't have time to call during the week, so I'll be on the phone on Saturday. Hope I have similar results.
