Portland Pirates New Sabres Affiliate
Jun 10, 2008 NHL
It’s official, Portland will be the new NHL affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres. This ends the 29 year association with the Rochester Americans. It’ll be a longer trip for the call-ups, although Portland had to deal with a longer one last year (they were with Anaheim). With all the recent signings, there should be a decent team there.

You may have heard that CBC was having an issue trying to secure the rights to the ‘Hockey Theme Song’. The rights have been secured, but now CTV (TSN/RDS) owns them, so if you are the sort of person who flinches when you hear the Monday Night Football song on ESPN, this is for you. It will also appear during the Olympics in Vancouver, and anywhere else they can shoehorn it probably.
