Pre-Game Talk: Buffalo - 10/23/2013 8:00 PM - NBCSN

[TCL40]

I am psyched for the Sharks game. My daughter is flying home from Calif. to see her two favorite teams play. ...B's are her #1. . It will be good to see her.

I hope she has a nice visit-but I hope her second favorite team loses

This game might take the cake for lowest ratings for an NHL game all year.

All of Boston and NE will be watching the World Series, and the Sabres just suck so people in WNY and Southern Ontario will barely watch them. Then there are special fans like me who won't watch the Sabres to watch the Red Sox.

I'll be watching the game.

I give zero effs about the Sox.

Our first game on Wednesday Night Rivalry this season. Little blurb about it and the new NBCSN show "NHL Rivals" which has been airing prior to the Rivalry Night matchups:

NHL Rivals, which debuts this week on Tuesday at 11 p.m. on NBCSN, dovetails off NBCSN's Wednesday Night Rivalry, which Forbes dubbed "the hottest new brand in sports." This week's episode will feature the Boston Bruins and the Buffalo Sabres. The two teams are forever linked by memorable moments, including Buffalo forward Brad May's "May Day" overtime game-winner in the 1993 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and Bruins forward Milan Lucic's open-ice collision with Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller in 2011.

Following are excerpts from this week's episode of NHL Rivals.

Former Buffalo Sabres defenseman and head coach Lindy Ruff: "It wasn't about the scores. It was about looking over there and seeing which guys you'd have to worry about beating the crap out of you."

NBC analyst and former Bruins player/coach Mike Milbury: "It was like the 'O.K. Corral.' It's the stuff that's embedded in your brain for the rest of your life."

Former Sabres forward Brad May: "I loved every second of it. There were uncomfortable moments and times when I was afraid, but I absolutely loved it. It was so easy to get up for those games. You couldn't sleep in the afternoon, or you'd sleep with the lights on."

[Nose Face Killah]

I'm gonna be switching between this and the Sox during period intermissions

 

[ProdigalFan]

Hopefully the guys will put this one away in regulation since I'm sure they'll want to watch the Sox too.

I know Thornton and Looch are very big fans. Had to laugh on Sat when Thornton cut an interview short saying he wanted to watch the end of the game.

I don't care about baseball so will be watching hockey. I think the Bruing Sabres game starts late (and I have the feeling I will be made to switch to American Horror story by the teenagers in the house). I am not sure there will be much of a gap between the games.

OCHO! Kind of excited to be honest. Huge shoes to fill but I think he's capable.

Will flip back and forth but baseball is the family sport and has been for decades.

Here here!!

Nothing irks me more than Sox talk/pictures/crap flooding Bruins GDT's.

I can easily enough "click ignore" on the redsox thrread (and I do) I don't need to be subjected to redsox propaganda when I want to read about the Bruins.

Hey this is Boston Bruins board... not Red Sox

You want to pollute Bruins GDT with Sox trash prepare to get flamed is all I am saying.

Yeah. I predict we see a well oiled machine come December 1.

Looking forward to it!

 

[Minny Shinny]

GDT will be up later this evening sometime.

I really wasn't certain what I was going to do with it before reading this thread. Now I'm almost certain it will be very Red Sox heavy on the theme.

Awesome, I will make a GDT with a New York Yankees theme or Denver Broncos one!!... may as well if we are going to have red sox right?


I get it... sox are in WS... be happy, celebrate... but let's not keep jamming the red sox down the collective throats of bruins fans is what I am saying.

Perfect. Here's the GDT signup thread. I look forward to seeing your work.

I get it... sox are in WS... be happy, celebrate... but let's not keep jamming the red sox down the collective throats of bruins fans is what I am saying.

A. A good number of Bruin fans are Red Sox fans, both in general and on this board. A good number of Bruin players are Red Sox fans. The organizations themselves are all being pretty congratulatory of either other publicly. It's more about celebrating the success of the teams and the civic pride involved in being a fan of a Boston team.

B. You're being a tad dramatic about having the Red Sox jammed down your throat. After reading through the GDT's since the start of the season, that's not happening. People are perhaps providing updates on the scores to folks in the GDT...but then again, if that's "jamming the Red Sox down the collective throats" then I'm thinking your angst might be a tad displaced.

C. GDT participation is meant to be fun and laid back. Relax. In the grand scheme of things, if this is the most pressing issue for you today, I think you'll be okay.

I guess I don't understand the hostility that seems to be present in this board lately regarding the presence of the Red Sox. There's room for both in this town.

They're games. They're fun.

Speak for yourself. There will never be a day when a baseball game of any kind will ever trump a hockey game in my house. Even if the Yankees aren't golfing and are actually playing LOL
