Alan Pergament: 8 Sabres games will be carried exclusively on ESPN+; Josh Allen a Formula 1 fan
The play-by-play announcer told viewers during a break in the action that eight Sabres games won’t be carried on MSG, which is available on cable and DirecTV, and instead will be carried exclusively on the streaming service ESPN+.
I have no idea what those 8 games are. I guess they want it to be a surprise.
Mark Preisler, executive vice president for Pegula Sports and Entertainment:
"For those without ESPN+ five of the eight games are home games so fans can also come down and see the games in person."
Great ticket selling strategy.
The seven other Sabres games on ESPN+ are Nov. 2 at San Jose; Nov. 12 against Edmonton; Dec. 7 against Anaheim; Feb. 1 at Las Vegas; March 4 at Minnesota; April 5 against Carolina; and April 7 at Carolina. The Sabres don’t have any games on ESPN’s regular NHL package and only two games on TNT’s package – March 13 with Toronto and March 23 with Pittsburgh.
So there's a total 15 games on ESPN+plus 2 on TNT.
