Can someone please explain to me ...
Why Center Ice is giving me the God Damn French language feed for the MON/ATL game. I know there is an English language feed. At least offer both. If you ask me the NHL could use a little more anti-French bias right about now. I swear the NHL has got to have some of the dumbest professionals in the world working in their ranks.
If consequences dictate the course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate the course of action, then I should play God...

More salt in the fantasy wound – Gionta with 2 goals.

I agree they should offer both, but I find the French feed kind of quaint. And it helps me brush up on my quickly aging language skills.
Plus, I love the French names for penalties: Obstruction, Rudesse
Fight, you time-wasting figure skaters!

Welcome Back Phil Kessel
Just got smoooooked by Ohlund. What a hit.

Yeah, he got railed. Watching the look-ins on NHL network, the Leafs camera crew is amazing. Didn’t get to hear enough of their play-by-play guys, but whoever’s producing that broadcast is on-point in a big way.
Kessel looks a little out of sync to me, but he’s moving fast and making some opportunities. Looks like a matter of time before he starts to score again. He’s backchecking hard, too. At least he is in the look-ins, I can’t speak to the broader game.

just saw replay on NHLN…wow. That could’ve set the Leafs back again if it’s another angle on that shoulder.

Yeah he came back, though. I think he’s fine. He did shank a good chance late in the 3rd on the PP.
It looked like there was a Leaf heading toward the scene of the hit but you couldn’t see what came of it.

Addendum: this is the first time I’ve had an HD feed for my television. The difference is incredible, even at 720P resolution. It’s a completely different experience.
Anyone who likes hockey enough to read this site owes it to themselves to get HD for the games. Seriously.

I know exactly what you mean, I go from my 61 inch hd tv at home watching the caps to watching on a 19 inch screen and i just about cry every game i watch.

unfortunately, with the economy the way it is, I needed the money for rent. now that my other half is employed again, it might be in the cards.
by RedBirdie on Nov 3, 2009 10:21 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Ah, but now that you’re both employed, this economy means that there are some serious deals to be had. Find a friend with it and watch the game there. I think you’ll be impressed with how much better it looks. Do your research on what to buy before you do anything, be it with a TV or a provider of TV.
by Knee high to a duck on Nov 3, 2009 10:26 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I should add to that, you can often get the providers of programming played off of each other – calling to say you’re canceling service because you got a better deal elsewhere can often get you a discount on your service.

Is worse than a cell phone image my brother texted me from the game when the Caps played the Pisles on Long Island. A dude was wearing a Yashin jersey but taped over the “9” and “Yashin” with orange tape and in marker wrote “Hunter” on the jersey. Ridiculous.

I can’t skate worth a damn, but I bet there’d be more consistent officiating if I were out there. Its out of control this season.
by RedBirdie on Nov 5, 2009 12:04 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Completely out of control. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I just want in-game consistency. It’s like the strike zone in baseball: every ump has a slightly different one, and there are several legitimate ways to call it, all a team can ask for is that you use the same one all game. Give me the first inning or two (period in hockey) to figure out what you’re calling and then keep it steady.

Mr. Bird thought it was uneven, but I saw Wings hanging all over the Sharks, too. A couple ticky-tack calls against the Wings, though.
Its all good, though, because Muppet won the game in the Gimmick. (not the Gimmick part, the “Muppet wins the game!” part)

that was by feeling, too. But I thought it best to not voice that last night. And I think maybe “ticky-tack” was the wrong word. It was more like “But you’ve let 20 similar penalties go with no call, so why that one?”

That is me right now. I’ve watched Junior hockey, international hockey (Swedish National Junior team gives me both in one game), ~5 hours and several different games of NHL hockey, and now NCAA hockey (Min. v.

Crunch time already? Seems early for finals and late for midterms. I guess the only good thing about law school is that all you really need to do is go to finals. It sucks if you bomb them but it means you can slack as much as you want all semester if you are willing and able to lock it down for a month at the end of the semester.
