The Sabres, who are caught in the middle of the Time Warner Cable/MSG television fight, will host a viewing party in the arena Friday night for their road game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the first 3,000 fans will receive vouchers for free soft drinks and popcorn. Half-priced beer and family-friendly prices on hot dogs, pizza, nachos and combination platters will also be available.

He is a member of the Professional Hockey Writers Association and can vouch that exposed flesh freezes instantly when walking in downtown Winnipeg in January.
