dayman Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Contrary to popular belief not every Bills fan follows the Sabres closely. I want to jump on the Sabres bandwagon for the playoffs. BUT...I'm lazy and I don't know anything about them (I know VERY little about he current team...). If anyone (or multiple people) would care to put together a little "how to" guide for watching the Sabres this playoff I would appreciate. This could include anything of players to watch, trends, expectations...anything. You do the math. Also, I really know nothing about the other teams or the playoff landscape in general so that would be appreciated as well (although Sabres first and foremost obviously). Thanks to all willing to educate me. I'm sure there are a few others in my shoes. Edited April 14, 2011 by dayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayman Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) LMFAO. That is ****ing classic. I've had a few beers I will admit. And I have spelled Sabres correctly in the past, though I've probably spelled it wrong a million times too. I cannot edit the title and I definitely salute for calling me out AND quoting me to make sure it's on record I did that the entire post! Seriously, I can laugh about it so bring it on board...BUT...I would like to hop on the SABRES bandwagon so I would appreciate some guidance as well. LOL. Hey man...you have to admit when something is hilarious. Edited April 14, 2011 by dayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZC-Boston Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 For those with DTV (and outside of Buffalo) do you know which channel the game will be on? I know sometimes for me the Center Ice feed is blacked out and I have to watch on the MSG-NYa feed. Any idea about tonight? I won't be home tonight for the start of the game and want to make sure I set the DVR correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Players to watch: #26 Vanek #21 Stafford and the current fan favorite, #42 5'5" of fury, Nathan Gerbe You'll also notice our HUGE defenseman #57, 6'8" (off of skates) Tyler Myers. The kid JUST turned 21 and is an awesome stick-handler, especially for his size. That's a very brief breakdown, but should get you started!

The kid JUST turned 21 and is an awesome stick-handler, especially for his size. That's a very brief breakdown, but should get you started! I will also add #63 Tyler Ennis (speedy as all hell) and #8 Cody McCormick. He may not be the most skilled player on the ice, but if you watch him closely he works his ass off every second of every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 For those with DTV (and outside of Buffalo) do you know which channel the game will be on? Answers? Anyone? It'll prolly be balcked out here because of Comcast's battle with Directv. I hate Philadelphia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
