Virtual Insanity Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Follow up questions: What's the deal with CenterIce online, does anyone do that? Basically if I want to follow one first round series (assuming the Canucks make the playoffs and fall in round 1) do I have any hope in hell of doing this in any official way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 What's going on with the Pens? Having a bit of a shocker at the moment, shame as they are my 2nd team in the East. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On topic: All-Star votes were finalized. My endless texting counted to something at least... Even though I don't think Giguere or Scotty should be in this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Cheers mate, I'll now need to try and avoid the temptation until after finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 For our regular big hockey fans here (all three of you I make it), what's the deal with watching hockey here? Having only got into it last year while in Vancouver this is my first season watching it from Scotland, I'm avoiding it until finals and everything are over for obvious reasons but want to pick up coverage for the latter rounds of the playoffs. Basically my questions are 1. Is NASN the only option? 2. If so, is this only available as part of a Sky/Virgin package? 3. What is the minimum subscription length? 4. What is the coverage like? Any other helpful pointers would be appreciated. Canucks continue to cobble together half decent form, which is the best we can hope for at the moment as we have now lost our 2nd choice goaltender as well as Luongo and had to bring in someone I've never heard of from the Kings for a 7th round draft pick to keep us covered. Whose the three? The Flames won their 5th straight last night with a 3-2 win over the Preds, now that I have said this we will get beat tonight by Chicago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Five showed a lot of the playoffs last year, it was pretty good coverage. I actually watched it over NASN. Five has dropped its North American sports coverage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Whose the three? You, Zanetti and Jim. Was looking for info on past standings at specific times and found this site which has a phenomenal amount of info about hockey and all the other US sports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetooner Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It looks like Sidney Crosby is making a name for himself this year, just in the wrong way. 2 weeks ago he had a cheap shot in a fight against Atlanta, yet only got a 2 minute penalty, then the other day he picked up 19minutes of penaltys against Floriday for "fighting" unfairly too. I wonder if he is going to start to get banned for games for the bad play, like Avery did. Interesting few weeks ahead for the "superstar" of Hockey - seems like many superstars he can't take it when things arent going his way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Its currently 1-1 between the Flames and the Blackhawks 5 minutes into the 2nd period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetooner Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 WOw, i just saw the starters in the NHL all-star teams. What an absolute joke, and i thought the MLB all star selections were bad. Not 1, yes not even 1 starter was from a team winning it's division. Of the 12 starting players, 4 were from Montreal and 2 from 4th place Pittsburgh. In the west, you would expect teh 29-4-5 Sharks to get at least 1, or reigning champs Detroit? No, Chicago and the Ducks got 3 players each. What an absolute F'n joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose5 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Of the 12 starting players, 4 were from Montreal Cant complain with that Good shootout win for us over Florida yesterday even though we didnt make use of our 4 2nd period goals. Still keeps us on the heels of Boston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they are the best four players in the west, or perhaps there was a little electoral fraud. Either way, it's a nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that for this, fans should all vote for their favorite on their team. Then people that actually know what they are doing pick the rest of the squads, including the starting players. They should do that for all sports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The fans get out of it what they put in, it's their own fault. The NHL wont give up this system because it's ridiculously lucrative for them. The All Star game is now a joke and I suspect it's being seen more and more that way by the players too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
