I don't know. I'm watching CBC. I have the "time shifting" channels, that give us some US channels that are in EST, and I was watching "Red Wings Game Day" on one of the channels, and I thought THEY were weird for covering how well Gonchar played the other night, but I thought I might have hit an isolated comment.

I have the US NBC too, so I'll go take a look. But yes, CBC coverage is WAAAAAAY better. NBC makes it all seem soooooo cheesy.

The Canadian coverage treats it like the real sporting event that it is with a long and distinguished meaningful history (at least as far as a sport goes). The U.S. coverage often seems like it is covering something like roller derby or pro wrestling. I just can't get a serious feel from the U.S. coverage.

Poor Fleury is right. They need to pull him, AND SOON.

Wow, what a game! What a playoff season! I felt so bad for Fleury - sit on the puck and tiddly-wink it in.
ITA about the difference between CBC & American network coverage. I listen to games on CBC and their audio alone is better than anything on NBC, VS, or FoxSportsNet.
On to next season!

Speaking of predictions, my friend in Detroit and I were trading emails back and forth during the game. Here's what I wrote with 2 minutes to go:

quote:

I think you can safely jump for joy now. Even if they fluke one goal, you're still winning.

Congrats!!


I think it's hilarious that I called the fluke goal, and then they ALMOST scored again! hahaha

I am watching the post-game stuff on Detroit's channel 4, which is STILL in the Red Wings' locker room chronicling the celebrations. Some of those boys are getting tipsy, and they are becoming funny to watch. Having a little bit of trouble speaking now...etc.

I am so jealous that you got to see the locker room coverage. I love the "revelling in the glory" part of it...but at least I went to bed with a big ol' smile on my face.

I loved Chris Osgood's post game comment on how he was going to kill Hudler. lol!

SO glad to see them pull it off. I'm especially thrilled for Dallas Drake. (Please bring the cup to NMU!!!)

I cannot wait for tomorrow's Winter Classic Bob! Our AHL team used to be an affiliate of the Blackhawks, so I have had the pleasure of meeting many of them. Go Blackhawks!

That pic is great Bob.
I am so excited too; Though I hope the results are little beter than last nights game with the Wings. I still hope they do this at Soldier Field next time - maybe I have a shot at going.

I am bumping this in hopes I can find some fellow hockey fans at TVCH. (I got in trouble for posting comments about the Caps game last night in the Biggest Loser thread. OOPS!)

Not a HUGE hockey fan....but can keep up with the rest of my fellow Canadians.

My boyfriend was on a flight with his rugby team from Vancouver to LA today, and Pat Quinn was on the same flight. They tried to convince the stewardess that they were Pat Quinn's hockey players. LOL

That is funny Eeyore. Watched the Philly vs. Tampa Bay game last night because one of our players was called up from the AHL. Can't get over all the comments the commentators were making about him and our team in Norfolk. We may be struggling this season, but the effort is starting to get more notice.

<----- Hockey fan!
Settling in to watch CHI Blackhawks vs. NY Rangers in about 30 mins.

ETA: God Bless Rocky Wirtz for putting the games on TV!

I love the fact that I can see the Blackhawks on TV (granted it is Center Ice) but I can hear Chicago announcers! We were affiliated with Chicago for the beginning of our time in the AHL, before they bolted to Rockford.

Listened to the game on the way home, but was able to catch the third and OT on TV. How in the world do you get so many 5 on 3 oppurtunities and not convert? Maybe I am missing something when it comes to the Rangers penalty kill, but that surprised me.

I am also enjoying the fact that Chicago tried to waive Khalibulin at the beginning of the season, but now he seems to be there number one goalie. Good thing no one picked "The Bulin Wall" up.

Stupid penalty in OT. Cost them the game. It was very quiet in The United Center last night. Pretty strange to hear that.

Seriously...am I the ONLY one watching the hockey playoffs? Good thing I am following "Thatkevinsmith" and Will Wheaton on twitter. Their hockey chatter during the games is a hoot!

GO WINGS!

To Marysfan, congratulations on a great series. I liked what Babcock had to say about it's a race to 4, not best of seven.
So who do I throw my support to now? The Jackets finally make it to the Playoffs and are swept. I guess I'll follow Detroit. I'd like to see them against the Hawks for the West finals.
I don't know too much about the Eastern Conference, but Philly looked like a bunch of Hansen Brothers the first game. I can't bring myself to back NJ or Carolina or the Rangers. I haven't seen too many Bruins games - are they the Red Wings of the Eastern Conf?
