  games start tonight folks.  Leafs/Wings and Bruins/Avs on Versus.  cant wait to see how many HD games Dish will offer this year.
 

i'm contemplating getting home ice on directv, price seems reasonable, and it's gonna have a fair amount of hd games every week. . .while it wouldn't necessarily help me with sharks games, since they are local, i would like to get more pens games. . .

as i noticed with Dish last  year, the RSNs they had in HD, which werent too many last year, were the HD games they were showing.  They have added a lot since spring (including NESN) so i am hoping there are at least 3 a night.  Last year it would only be one a night or maybe 2.
    Dish had tons of HD Pens games last year.

Im just disgusted to learn that Palin is dropping the puck at the Flyers/Rangers game Saturday night. Im right now thinking of all the bad things that could go wrong (or hope go wrong).

Palin dropping the puck sickens me. Apparently she is good spokesperson for hockey and there's no political agenda. I don't buy it. At least the Phightins took Game 1.

yeah i dont buy it either - but on another note - there are 4 Obama rallies going on tomorrow in Philly! Those Flyers fans might be really riled up way before the puck is even dropped.

I don't know who should be more embarrassed...
 The NHL for hiring Def Leppard to 'kick off' the season?
 Or the lead singer, either way ... FAIL

 When will pro sports leagues realize music and sport spectaculars don't mix?

So the Flyers shit the bed in SD. I should have just gone to bed early.

I went to see Wings/Hurricanes Monday night. Front row behind penalty box. Have pictures with Brind'Amour in the box. Kinda cool. 3-1 Wings, great tight game.
 
 That is all.

Does anyone have NHL GameCenter?  Do they show caps games on there, or are they blacked out since it is on CSN?

[mynameistickle]

I have NHL Center Ice, most Caps games are blacked out, but their not worth watching unless they're playing the Penguins, so it really doesnt matter to me.

Right...  If Pittsburgh is so great, why are so many exported to DC?

[godsshoeshine]

barry melrose is in tampa and jagr isnt even in america

[Frank Gallagher]

How sweet was it to see the Caps 3-0 down to the flightless birds of mulletville only to come back and take it 4-3?

Better reason to watch hockey

 Fleury is gonna be good once he realizes the '84 Lumber' on the boards behind him is for a hardware store and not another over-hyped rookie center he hasn't seen in the locker room.
