GDT: Preseason Game 1: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Buffalo Sabres from PSU!

[ColePens]

A GDT!!! YES! Let's f***ing go!!!


I am assuming the only way this is on television is via pittsburghpenguins.com. I pulled this from the website and do not see any local stations showing the Pens game tonight. As more information comes out, i'll try to update.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that their preseason games on September 16 against Buffalo and September 25 against Detroit will be streamed on pittsburghpenguins.com.

NHL Network will also broadcast the Penguins' preseason game on September 22 against Detroit.

All six preseason games are now available for Penguins fans to watch, either on AT&T SportsNet, NHL Network or the Penguins' website. Because of NHL broadcast rules, the streams will only be available in the Pittsburgh region. Additionally, all six preseason games can be heard on the Penguins' official flagship radio station, 105.9 'The X'.

The Penguins will open up their six-game preseason slate against the Buffalo Sabres on Monday, September 16 at 7:00 PM at Penn State University's Pegula Ice Arena. This is the second time in the last three seasons Pittsburgh has visited State College for a preseason game.

I take it the app will have it streaming if it’s on the website? I usually go to the ones at PSU since I’m so close. No such luck this year...damn parenthood.

Excited to see how our top prospects at forward and defense do.

Thanks Cole for the GDT. I'll be checking in but unfortunately may not get any video since I'm out of state, so all of you watching, please give those of us who can't get the feed some good nuggets...

What specifically ARE the broadcast rules preventing the streaming? I get that the MSG racket probably has rights to the Sabres broadcast, so blocking Pittsburgh's stream in their market would be an understandable rule. But say you're in Oklahoma or wherever where there isn't a provider conflict, why would it be blocked there?

No they're allowing the stream in the Pittsburgh market only....hopefully someone on who know where can find a solution to that...

 

[NeonKnight]

Does NHL.tv show all the preseason games? They have them on the schedule, but I can't tell if they're actually airing them.

PSU is part of the Pittsburgh market and the Pens are playing. Sabres being the “home” team is only because of Pegula. I’m not sure they would control broadcasting rights simply because of venue.

Just here waiting to hear what the line-up is going to be...someone usually comes through...

I knew someone would be my hero... thanks

Do the Sabres realize that its only Pre-season. It looks like they are basically playing their starting line-up.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I'm interested in how the D and goalies will perform.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

The Pens just can't quit Jack Johnson.

that's great....it will give us a better look at what we have.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Simon at center is interesting

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I guess I'm also interested in the forwards, too.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

So, can I conclude that ZAR - Simon - Rust is the prefered 4th line at this point in the camp?

Plus, will this game be streamed? Do I need to renew my NHL Game Center membership to watch it?

 

[Andy99]

Simon at center is interesting

I told people when he was practicing at center at camp that it looks like they want to get a good look at him there because he was successful at Worlds there...if he plays well, it gives them another option to move Bjugstad

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Plus, will this game be streamed?

Yes. But not to you. At least not by a natural way.

It might just be another option for the bottom 6 as opposed to Simon replacing Blueger

 

[Malkinstheman]

Its hard to say but as of right now I think ZAR is the 13th forward.

 

[Andy99]

I’d say between him and Blueger if Simon excels at center...at least until Bjug gets moved...

 

[Empoleon8771]

Hm, ZAR-Simon-Rust is certainly a curveball to see. I know some people may be mad that Blueger isn't getting his chance, but if Simon playing out of position (from where he has played in the NHL) beats him out for a spot, that's on him.

I’d say between him and Blueger if Simon excels at center...at least until Bjug gets moved...

That's another thing definitely worth mentioning, it makes the idea of keeping Rust and moving Bjugstad much more interesting if Simon can work at center in the NHL.

 

[Andy99]

Well Simon is a way better playmaker than goal scorer so it makes sense at some level...if he plays well defensively and can handle FOs, he’d be a really good option for 3C...we know he works well with Horny too...I definitely could see a McCann-Simon-Horny line playing well
