Buftex Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Crud, I was hoping it would start on Wednesday...gotta work Thursday night...looks like I will be up until 4 in the morning watching on tape delay. Excuse my ingnorance, but when it says the games are on VS/TSN, is the VS. broadcast subject to regional coverage? What I mean is, will the Sabres/Islanders game be on all VS. carriers, througout the US? I haven't seen the Dallas Stars playoff schedule yet, but if they play on Thursday night as well, would we, here in Austin, TX get that game instead? I remember this being an issue the first round last season, when there were more games each night, than there were broadcast outlets. Anyone know?

No regional games. So if the Sabres are on Versus, you'll see them coast-to-coast. Be sure to check Yahoo and Comcast.net to see what games they will be streaming online. PTR

apuszczalowski Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Awesome, they are all on TSN I was worried since it wasn't the Leafs I would barely get to see any first round games
LabattBlue Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Would you prefer, "Swords"? Yes...It makes more sense.
The Dean Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Yes...It makes more sense. You've never heard the Sabres called the "Bres"? Have you heard Parents referred to as "Rents"? Same thing, and not all that uncommon. I've heard many many people call the Sabres the "'Bres". Come to think of it though, they might just all be friends of mine.

LabattBlue Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 You've never heard the Sabres called the "Bres"? no, not here in WNY.
The Dean Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 no, not here in WNY. Yes, actually that's where my friend are who refer to them as the "Bres". Buffalo and WNY. If your friends don't, maybe you should get that ball rolling...
linksfiend Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Wow, so much for hearing Rick and Jim. IF the series goes 6 or 7 games, FIVE Vs. games. To those who asked, MSG will carry all the games in the first two rounds of the playoffs that NBC isn’t airing. That assumes the Sabres advance past the first round. Versus may do some games but wouldn’t have exclusivity. Versus and NBC share the games after the first two rounds, meaning Rick Jeanneret and Jim Lorentz are exiled to radio. Versus will carry between 15 and 20 games in the first round, about the same number in the second round and between six and 12 games in the conference final. It gets the first two games of the Stanley Cup finals, NBC the rest. http://www.buffalonews.com/214/story/48671.html

TheMadCap Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 No word as of yet on if comcast.net or yahoo will stream the games online. Is there any hope for such as me, without Center Ice, and no TSN on DirecTV? I will go to the BW3 if I have to...

Games 1 & 4 of the Otter series were on OLN and not shown on MSG. Assuming Pergament is correct, I wonder if the RJ and JL broadcast will only be available in WNY. It doesn't make any sense for Versus to show 5 Sabres games if they know the bulk of their audience will be watching the games on another network. EDIT: Thanks to Sullim for the correction. OLN and MSG did both show Games 1 & 4 of the Filly series last year. Those in WNY got the RJ/JL feed, those elsewhere got OLN. But, last year, MSG did not broadcast 2nd round games that OLN covered. I will assume the Pergament article is correct and MSG will show Versus games in the 2nd round this year for those of us in WNY and not cut off our RJ fix after the 1st round.

It may even be in HD (on channel 95) if we're lucky. CW
