Anyone know if MSG will be covering that in 3-D? Since I get MSG and MSG+ I would think that the Sabres and Rangers games will both be on… wouldnt mind checking that out for a bit.

the issue with it being in 3D, you would need a 3D ready TV and the glasses. Right now 3D ready TVs are about $3500 for a 55" and the glasses that go with them are $150 each.

Oh its only for the new 3-D tvs? I didnt realize those were even out yet, I just figured it was going to be like the Superbowl commercials two years ago… Heck with that then lol… im certainly not investing $3500 for Rangers – Islanders :-p

Agreed.

It looks to NASCAR/Wranglers for an NHL shirt.

That seems to be a target audience. Therefore, i find it acceptable.

Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism

Anyone see that if the playoffs started today

we would play Ottawa? Ugh…that would be murder for us in the 1st round. What is it with us and that team?

I noticed that while looking at the standings this morning, also. I really hope that won’t be the case, but then again, they are in the midst of a pretty ugly losing streak. Hopefully they remain stuck in it through April.

They have been so streaky the past few seasons; it’s pretty crazy.

I might be alone here, but i actually would like the Sabres to play Ottawa in the first round. I think they can dispose of Ottawa early and gain enough confidence from it to get through the next 2 or 3 rounds and maybe win a cup. If they run into the Sens in the second or third round, though, we all know how that will end. I think if they can get that adversity and underdog mentality early in the playoffs rather than later, it could help unify the team for the big thrust toward the cup.
