the Canes game tonight is a total blackout, but my bro is listening on XM and said Jokinen got us 1 - 0 over TB, so w00t!!!
 
While discussing Ovechkin vs Richards, the astute Versus announcer stated that Ovie is known for his offense, but will play the game tough. He then said Richards isn't really known for his defense, but he can score.

Pretty sure Mike Richards was a finalist for the Selke Trophy last year, which is given to the best two-way forward. He apparently lost the trophy by 3 votes to Datsyuk according to my google skills.

Hockey used to have the most informed announcers. What the hell happened?

Yeah he didn't directly put it into the net...i just meant he held onto it way too long & then fucked up the pass bigtime...pretty much just gave him the goal.

I mean shit, i play rec ball hockey & even our goalies don't fuck up like that lol...
 
Anyone watching Flyers-Caps? Caps have two shots so far in the 2nd, both goals, both Ovechkin. Richards just answered with a hat trick, the 2nd and 3rd seconds apart.

This is a ridiculous game so far.

You need a Slingbox at someone's house in the home market if you know anyone. I do that for Philly sports since I live near DC, and it's awesome.

im in the home market. hell, i went to opening night last week!

versus sucks donkey balls and *nobody* is showing the canes game cause VS is showing flyers/caps. its not even on center ice. the only way to know whats up is to be at the RBC center or listen to 99.9 the Fan online or on XM.
 
Wait, are Canes games not televised on a local channel? For instance, all Flyers games are on CSN Philly if not on national broadcast. No one carries the Hurricanes?

I was really disappointed with Center Ice last year. BUT, I ordered it late last season, and they never turned off the channels for MLB Extra Innings, since it's on shared channels. So I got that for free, which makes it even for me.

the hurricanes dont have the market size that some of the northern teams do, so no, nobody locally carries the games. Fox Sports Carolinas has some of the home games, so between that and espn/vs to catch away games we can see about 60 of the 82 games, and we dont get all the home games.

The canes have a loyal enough fan base, hell, last week lots of people were tailgating, some were even there at lunch time, but its hard to grow the fan base when you cant even catch all the home games. opening night didnt sell out, and i think a majority of the playoffs games last seasons still had seats available :-/

we make up for it in enthusiasm. I make sure my section is one of the loudest when I attend 😀

edit: caps have come from behind and are up 5 - 4 over philly...ohhh looks like theyre gonna review the goal
 
The Leafs used to open strong and then fade really fast. I guess they are skipping the win part completely and go straight to losers.
 
The Sabres and Thrashers have each played 3 games. Kovulchuk has scored more goals than the entire Sabres team combined. :frown:

But the Sabres are 2-0-1, Miller is playing quite well, and the rookie Tyler Myers has been one of the best defensemen on the team so far. :thumbsup:
 
god damn! i thought we were going to have it

great game overall, canes definitely made the penguins work for it, ended in a 6 round shootout.

also, cam ward had an AMAZING save. go youtube it. it was awesome.
