Whatever. It's not always the coach's fault when the team plays like shit. Team USA was amazing and Bab-cock blocked the gold. Don't hate, appreciate.

Wait a second....

*looks at USAs coach*

Nope... Team USA did have the worst coach in NHL history behind the bench
 
I think TSN should take a couple of lessons from Sportsnet on how to do a playoff preview. Awful so far. And what's with that stupid baby video?
 
Man, five games tomorrow and I want to watch ALL of them, but sadly I can't. I wish they threw us a couple tonight.

I have to watch the Wings play Phoenix, of course, but I really wanted to see Pens face the Bolts too.

I can't miss the Hawks vs. Canucks either. Lucky for me that starts 2 hours after the start of the Wings game, so I shouldn't miss too much of it if the game's finished in regulation.

Gonna have to miss the Preds vs. Ducks. I'm sure it will be exciting, though.

I have a shit ton of snacks and healthy foods to go along with them, so I can munch on shit nonstop all night. Also, a 12 pack to wash everything down.

Oh, and work the next morning. Sigh.
 
Will flip (err, click) through all the early games, not a single series stands out of the bat but it's playoff hockey so who cares. I'd really like to see the hawks/nucks game, but if I do I'd get maybe 4.5hrs of sleep
 
Made me laugh:

Oilers are going to be a dynasty :/
Depends on how quickly their players develop. They'll be RFAs before long. And the Oilers are going to have trouble signing dmen UFAs (team and city suck), so they'll probably have to trade from their surplus of young forwards.

For now the organization is fine losing in droves as they continue to collect 1st overall picks. They've managed to sell their fan base on this approach while icing a pretty terrible product. They've probably got another season of shittiness left before they have to start acquiring some decent vets.

NHL Playoff Predictions From A Bitter Canadian on Norm Macdonald's new sports show site. ITS ON IN THREE MINUTES
Why would Norm employ a Flames fan? Seems desperate. Now I'm worried.
 
Christ.... PJ Stock cannot speak English. I wonder if he's nervous being in the same room as these guys.

CBC definitely does do hockey a lot better than TSN.
 
Ducks-GAF: one of my friends facebooked saying the first 100 cars to Honda Center tomorrow morning for their AM radio show get playoff tickets for tomorrow's game.

I know you're kinda kidding/exaggerating, but I feel a tinge of defensiveness here. Our perceptions of fans are shaped by anecdotes. I don't really trust yours to speak to a fanbase at large, or even same something meaningful about "us" compared to other fans. Still, we've definitely got plenty of assholes. And our city has a bit of an ego which probably heightens it a bit.

I think you're overthinking this one. I'm merely stirring the 1st round pot a bit trying to have a little fun. No I do not think every Canucks fan is a terrible person. I've met a few that prove that, but recently I've noticed it more from some of the nucks fanbase. Means you have a few bad apples in the bunch, just like any other fanbase. I am not trying to prove to you that you're an asshole so don't worry ;)

It's shit like this though that makes me annoyed when i see it from any fan base.

This was never answered in other thread...but a question...

hockeystreams.com or nhl.com??

I need to have one of them for the playoffs since I have no TV service. Anyone have experience with either (both?) and can recommend?

I have plenty fast net speed so that is not an issue. I just don't want to worry about blackouts and such.

Thanks in advance...and GO HABS!!

The feeds from NHL Gamecenter are really nice all HD feeds that look amazing, you just have to worry about blackouts. Where are you? You can always call NHL gamecenter to find out what teams you will be blacked out from just remember it's not just local teams but also major networks. So you don't get any games on versus AND you don't get any games picked up by NHL Network which many times be one of the canadian games that CBC or the like has. The quality is good it's just the blackouts depending on where you are. I have no experience with hockeystreams.com though.

I am in Seattle, WA.

I was only tempted by the other one cause it is 28 bucks vs way more for NHL.com ;(

Well, that too. It's like $80 or something still right? Like I said I've never used hockeystreams so I can't speak for the quality of their streams.

Not overthinking. But I did misread your post. The first half was genuine (at least it reads that way), but isn't generalizing as I'd thought.

As for that video (might you post it a third time, Revenant?), can't remember seeing much worse. It's more forgivable during fist fights because at least one person provoked the other.

Have Tabris et al scarred you so badly that you now cheer for the team that beat you in the Finals last season?

Canucks games and any game on nation tv would be blacked out i think. When I had it, it wasnt a problem since i was watching Pens stuff from seattle.
 
Ok signed up for the 20 1 month try out. Works fine on my system an FIOS. Nice picture.

If my Habs games are not blocked out, 20 bucks well spent...hehe
 
Work put me on 12-8 tomorrow night. Which means I have to stick around work if I want to watch the Ducks/Pred game (gross) OR I get to watch half an hour then get home and miss it/DVR it while my housemate watches Canucks/Hawks.

Fuck.

First world problems eh.
 
NHLGaf, I need your help.

I want to watch the Pens/Bolts games, but only 2 (!) will be on National TV here in the States. CBC is broadcasting them all, but I don't get the CBC here.

I have an NHL Center Ice subscription, but they don't include playoffs (they want $80 for the handful of round 1 and 2 games not on TV).

NHL GameCenter also wants $80 for said games.

CBC.ca will be streaming (I think), but only available to Canada residents. I guess I could proxy in, but I'd obviously rather not.

If there wasn't such greed, I'd happily pay a reasonable amount to watch the games, but $80 is insane, especially after paying $170 for shitty Center Ice service (only 1-2 games in HD per night).

NHLGaf, help me watch the Pens/Bolts :(

what? I took the comment from youtube, that's not me saying that.

I guess I should have quoted it, my bad.

My body is ready, unfortunately Zetterberg's is not. :(

and All American Hero Mike Modano is a healthy scratch as well.
Go give him a massage til he's ready. Detroit needs to beat Phoenix in a hurry.

I actually have a good feeling about this series and the game tonight, hopefully we can prevent Phoenix from winning in the first round since they moved.

Hopefully that win would also force them to move sooner. :D
