Now SJ13 tweeted that Dhop is on his way to Buffalo. I am pretty sure they are all in on some big prank now.

Really interesting look into household ratings per the aveage MLB game in a local market. Some baseball teams average less than 20k viewers a night. I would LOVE to see a similar chart for NBA and NHL.

It bothers me that they put 4,500M instead of 4.5B.

Charts are quite annoying like that. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Can one of the "insiders" find out what the raw household viewship number is for the average Sabre game on MSG?

According to this, Buffalo has 596,710 TV households.

https://www.mediamarketma...an%20income%20%2445%2C866.

1 ratings point equals 1% of those households.

According to this article it averaged a 5.6 rating in early to mid February.

That comes out to 33-34k households per night.

Those are the numbers I get on my OF account.

I doubt the regional TV viewership numbers for any league are that impressive, but I am guessing that the NBA still leaves the other two in the dust.

yanks, mets, cubs, red sox and dodgers, alone probably equals half of the nba esp given double the games

hockey is probably 7th behind golf, ufc and nascar

8th if you consider WWE a sport


maybe 9th behind poker

Bills have asked to see Hopkins medical records.

Yep Bear and his 14pts in 49gms and positive 5 on a crappy team. Yep why even talk about it, since are Defense is so fabulous. We can keep talking about the great leadership Girgensons shows. It's really helped the team the last month.
- Buff36

Lion eater has more leadership in his big toe then bear and cat combined.

I think you like talking about animals 🤔

Sabres should sign sue bird.

Hey, i just saw Bills signed an O Lineman named David Edwards. Is that who you kept mentioning they would sign? If so, you called it.

Said something yesterday morning about him, hearing it gives them the option to release Morse if they choose to. Bates can move to C now.

Imagine if girgensons wasnt in buffalo.

Could be locking down the 1OA seed by now.

This will be addressed Tuesday, I assure you. ☝️

Wow, I knew a Girgs upgrade would help, but didn't think it would be enough to catch Boston. They should do that asap.

Morse is an excellent player, but concussions are very concerning.

Bill's kinda mini retooling. I like it a lot. Not being complacent and blaming last year on anything other then football.

Top 5 player on both sides of the ball. Both getting paid too. Build around them for a couple more years at least.

You got you're " girgs upgrade".

#12.

You asked for it....

But Seriously, if girgs signs for 2.4 for another year.
Hopefully he hits 10/ 20

Slow the kids a bit.

Why do you want to pay a 4th line so much? It's a backwards way to build a team.

I didn't ask for a Girgs upgrade. They have guys. Try Rousek. 4LW isn't something to spend resources on. They grow on trees.

Good work. Given what I've read, that sounds very accurate to me. That's a solid number I would imagine in comparison with the league.

Amazing how much money is thrown around for so few eyeballs. On a dollars per eyeballs ratio, the Sabres at $20 million per year stack up well against most MLB teams and their deals.

Let's break this down a bit.

You have 20 players making a cap of 83 million this nhl season.
Just over 4 million on average, per player.

If you could get 20 point performance and effort for 55% % of the teams average per player. It's all profit 🍻

Sabres are probably paying 60/65 million to 20ish players.
3 million on average per player.
Girgensons is a bargain at 2.2 -2.9 million IMO
