I kind of like all the updates.

Ive had ESPN text me updates for all Sabres and Bills games since I was in college, but I forgot my login so I cant get them cancelled. I gotta somehow cancel those update texts, and its not the ones that say STOP.

The Android version seems to have its glitches.. or maybe it’s my phone, but I’m not getting any notifications at all.

The notifications

come up during the game or breaking news, I assume a trade, injury, contract extension. But you can set them for goals, end of period, there quite a few options.

Yeah I’d set them up before the game for gametime, goals and the lot, but haven’t received any yet

Gotcha.

I didnt d/l the app until after the game and around 10ish they sent me a notification saying something like “Sabres win 2-1 over the Islanders, highlight video available”

Lets Go Buff a lo!

Ralph Nader doesn't like NHL fighting.

Concussions are horrible, but I do think fighting has a place in the game. Also, I really would love Nader to skewer Lambert…I can’t stand the latter.
