Any chance he’s playing tonight?

by M-M-M-My Chimera on Mar 3, 2010 4:40 PM EST reply actions  

Oh yeah. I figure he’s there to hold the fort until the new arrivals get into town.

Cool.

OT – will be at GT in Columbia for the game tonight. It’s off McGaw Road next to Cheeburger Cheeburger. Gonna try and get a booth – drop by if you’re so minded.

No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.

by gotsparkly on Mar 3, 2010 4:40 PM EST reply actions  

DONT GO !!!!

Game is on Versus. GT in Columbia is DirecTV only. I just called them to confirm this.

by Pi on Mar 3, 2010 4:54 PM EST up reply actions  

No, it’s on CSN in the local area. It’s CSN local, Versus nationally, and MSG in Buffalo. Versus is using the Caps feed.

No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.

Does the turtle have one of those 9 screen television’s.

by MagicMonkey on Mar 3, 2010 5:00 PM EST up reply actions  

But Versus is owned by Comcast, so i would think CSN is blocked out even locally

by CAPFan4Life on Mar 3, 2010 5:01 PM EST up reply actions  

oh gosh i hope not. Versus is awful.

by hockeyman33 on Mar 3, 2010 5:29 PM EST up reply actions  

I will take that over NBC anyday

by MagicMonkey on Mar 3, 2010 5:43 PM EST up reply actions  

I’d take CSN over BOTH of them anyday. I wish they’d just pay the local broadcasters to do some of the games. cause those national guys seem to know nothing

by hockeyman33 on Mar 3, 2010 6:09 PM EST up reply actions  

As best I could tell from the Caps website, it’s on Versus in HD, and on CSN in non-HD

by Elliotte on Mar 3, 2010 5:15 PM EST up reply actions  

Then again the CSN Washington site says the game is in HD, so who knows

by Elliotte on Mar 3, 2010 5:17 PM EST up reply actions  

The game is on CSN in HD.

Versus is using the CSN feed for its nationwide broadcast. Joe B and Locker for everyone!

isn’t this saying to alzner that you not good enough to play with the big boys

by CAPFan4Life on Mar 3, 2010 4:44 PM EST reply actions  

No, I think it’s saying “We need a right handed shot”.

by David Getz on Mar 3, 2010 4:48 PM EST up reply actions  

mabye your right but i’m sure, he’s being to think it’s not he reason

by CAPFan4Life on Mar 3, 2010 4:50 PM EST up reply actions  

if he’s gonna let mind games screw with him then he doesn’t deserve to be up anyways. he just needs to play his game. maybe they’ll recognize his magic last year with Juice and give him a chance there (whenever juice gets back from his hernia)

by hockeyman33 on Mar 3, 2010 5:31 PM EST up reply actions  

Anyone have any ideas why the American Hero is coming up ?

by MagicMonkey on Mar 3, 2010 4:46 PM EST reply actions  

Because BUF is dressing their version. We’re just bringing ours to remind them how much better gold is.

Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.

pothier is gone and juice and corvo aren’t playing tonight after just being traded

by CAPFan4Life on Mar 3, 2010 4:47 PM EST up reply actions  

i dont think corvo or jurcina is playing tonight, maybe with the new guys BB doesn’t think Johnny C will get much more playing time the rest of the year, want to fit him in somewhere.

Potsy’s gone and Juice and Corvo (want to call him The Crow) aren’t here yet.

No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.

by gotsparkly on Mar 3, 2010 4:52 PM EST up reply actions  

I like the crow for a nickname. It’s mighty bad ass if i might say

by MagicMonkey on Mar 3, 2010 4:56 PM EST up reply actions  

(Explanation in case anyone needs/wants one: Ravens and crows are family Corvidae.)

Nice. I thought it was relation to The Crow the film.

by MagicMonkey on Mar 3, 2010 5:03 PM EST up reply actions  

Sorta but more for the Corvidae reference.

No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.

by gotsparkly on Mar 3, 2010 5:53 PM EST up reply actions  

how about we call Corvo “Assualt with a Deadly Foot”

by CAPFan4Life on Mar 3, 2010 4:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Hahah thats even better

by MagicMonkey on Mar 3, 2010 4:56 PM EST up reply actions  

the crow…AWESOME NICKNAME!

by iced on Mar 3, 2010 5:05 PM EST up reply actions  

See my response. You’re not quite correct – it’s still CSN locally.

No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.

by gotsparkly on Mar 3, 2010 4:59 PM EST up reply actions  

hope you’re right. their tv guru told me otherwise about 20 mins ago. enjoy the game !!

by Pi on Mar 3, 2010 5:00 PM EST reply actions  

Thanks, though. It shows on the Caps website as CSN-DC and Versus. No worries. If it is Versus locally, then I will move to Glory Days in Bowie.

No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.

by gotsparkly on Mar 3, 2010 5:02 PM EST up reply actions  

Is it CSN + or regular CSN ?

by MagicMonkey on Mar 3, 2010 5:04 PM EST up reply actions  

Suppposedly in HD tonight…can’t remember where I saw that announcement, but it was somewhere.

by Yoshietree on Mar 3, 2010 5:04 PM EST up reply actions  

According to the tv listings it will be on both VS and CSN. Least thats what the tv guide app on my G1 says.

by MagicMonkey on Mar 3, 2010 5:07 PM EST up reply actions  

Then CSN will be blocked out, and nothing will be on CSN

by CAPFan4Life on Mar 3, 2010 5:09 PM EST up reply actions  

In Washington and Buffalo, Versus will be blacked out. Versus picked this up as an additional game, it is not a national exclusive, which is when CSN will be blacked out.

by Ames on Mar 3, 2010 5:16 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes, but Comcast Owns Versus

by CAPFan4Life on Mar 3, 2010 5:17 PM EST up reply actions  

That doesn’t impact what will be blacked out where. CSN has broadcast rights locally.

by Ames on Mar 3, 2010 5:20 PM EST up reply actions  

it’s the same company and Versus is trying to become the main sportsnetwork for Comcast

by CAPFan4Life on Mar 3, 2010 5:22 PM EST up reply actions  

Versus picked this game and a bunch of others up in February. The ones they picked up to my understanding aren’t Versus exclusive games, so therefore local markets will get the games like normal. Hence you’ll get it on CSN-DC if you live in DC Metro area.

They said there is also a Florida/Philly game on tonight. Any chance we’ll get both in the DC market?

erskine has scored...now i can die in peace

by souldrummer on Mar 3, 2010 6:17 PM EST up reply actions  

"Carlson"?

It rings a bell, but…
Does anyone have some kind of visual reminder (or “.gif”, as the kids say) of who this John Carlson is, or something he’s done? Thank you in advance.

If you click on Wilbon, the terrorists win.

by redlineblue on Mar 3, 2010 5:06 PM EST reply actions  

Any Carlson thread without a certain Gif is about as appropriate as GM at the trade deadline with a silly grin saying “Housed suckas!”

Pantsless with the John Carlson gif T. Hot!

Best news for me after today’s deadline. We still have Alzner and Carlson.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
