Can I watch the buffalo sabres this year?

[pjm8047]

MSG is carrying the Buffalo Sabre games this year. My RSN is FOXP2 not MSG. I watched the sabre games two years ago on Empire. My question is will I need NHL Center Ice to watch the sabres?

I have been working through the exact same issue. I am not sure that even with the center ice package, the games may be blacked out. I think there may be a free preview for the first week of the season to see if they are blacked out or not.
Please email ceo@echostar.com and let them know you are not happy. They are currently negotiating with MSG to carry the Sabres games. The more people they hear from may help move things along.

maybe they will put the sabres games on a sports Alt channel. Here in Syracuse we can't watch any pro sport teams on FOXP2 all blacked out bad channel.

NHL should pay for center ice, because of all the crap that happened last year.
