Yes baby, NHL is on!!!

[Flames9_RN 358]

My beloved Flames lost, oh well, always next yr!! Watched a bit of the Caps game on TV, they looked the normal pathetic selves. Luckily thier tickets are fairly cheap. Ovechkin and the visiting teams are always fun to watch.

My Leafs lost their game opener to the hated Sens 4-1 on Wednesday...but we got our revenge last night.... 6-0!

I know what you mean about the Caps and their pathetic selves... Since I'll be living near DC (Berryville, VA) the one good thing is I'll be able to GET tickets to see the Leafs finally when they play the Caps

if your signed up with connect 2 canada,they have a pkg deal where you can get discounted hockey tickets when any of the Canadian teams or when a team for toronto comes to town!! Think one can get other games discounted as well.

heck yeah it is!

i'm beside myself...i think there were 8 games on last night - didn't know which to watch! thank gawd for PIP. i mostly watched the leaves/ottowa (FSN spelling ) and det/van. got rather homesick seeing the CBC feed though. timmy's commericals got me the worst.

didn't watch the late games as i thought i'd sleep. not so much tho.

told the hubby he may want to invest in another telly for the bedroom so he can watch something besides hockey with 40 or so games a week for me to choose from.

I'm to ocheap to pay for NHL cnetre ice. Wish one could watch them via the internet. One can do that with major league ball.

if i didn't get it (my early christmas/bday present) i'd only get the odd dallas game on FSN and 2 games a week on versus and no world junior tourney! that would be a deal breaker.

When you subscribe to NHL Centre Ice do you get more than one channel with games ?? or is there just one channel and you have to watch what they are televising ??

you get more than1 channel at a time and a choice of which broadcast you prefer to watch (for instance, the bos/fla game, i could watch it from bos. or fla). right now there are 4 games on 8 different channels. the late games are on different channels too. plus you get the world junior tourney at christmas and playoffs all for $149 and the dish service is $10/ month cheaper than the cable we had too.

i've been humming 'it's hockey night in canada the game has just begun!' for 2 days now

game on!

*sigh* I miss Hockey Night in Canada

[Reba 2]

yeah, I miss ol' Grapes. And I don't much like hockey

Hubby was playing his on-line Warcraft game the other night with on ear and watching/listening to the 'canes game on TV at the same time. This from the man who didn't even know what hockey was, never mind that Carolina had a team, before he met me!

CanSouth in North Carolina is working on group discounts for Canucks in NC to get to Hurricanes games against any of the Canadian teams. They're going to try for bus loads of us. If anybody in NC is interested, check their website.

Does anybody know the outcome of the FBI/Canadian Embassy game? That would have been interesting to see

[Flames9_RN 358]

Karen stated that the good old candians won the game

That is great to know Reba since we were hoping to get down to see some games there, hopefully my Leafs as it is too expensive to see them here at home ha ha ha.
