AHL- Apolyton Hockey League 08/09 (II): Game On

[Asher]

I've been in/am in NYC with no Flames TV coverage, I could not tell you.

No NHL online package with the TV package? Or did you not get the TV package this year?

I get the TV package, the online is hundreds of dollars extra...

[snoopy369]

Seems like it should be included ...

[Asher]

I don't know of anyone who includes it?

One is through your cable provider, one is through NHL.com...

[snoopy369]

Well yes, but the NHL gets most of the money for that subscription, after all ... seems like if you're already paying for the whole package (every NHL game on TV) you shouldn't have to pay more to be able to watch them when you're on the road ...

In theory, yes. In practice, I buy Centre Ice (TV) from Rogers and the online stuff is through NHL.com. There's no sharing.

What do we have if we don't have our theory

Ahh -- too bad-- the summary


Washington-- a solid 2-1 win despite a fluky off the skate Wash. goal early folowed by a 9 minute Caps PP. Kipper was named first star but really only had to make 3-4 really good stops

Nashville-- Didn't see it as it was not on centre ice but they got dominated in the first period but Kipper held them in. But going down 3-0 and then winng 5-3 speaks volumes, doesn't it?

Phoenix-- The score was "only " 4-1 Flames but this was just an old fashioned butt-kicking. Phoenix looked completely outclassed.


Now they get the Avs-- Flames beat them last time when Budaj decided he could be worse than Kipper on a night when both were awful. But he seems to have rebounded and the Avs remain a potent team

The NHL.com highlights are awesome!

No commercials, no commentary, great clips. It's great just to hear the players and the ice without any talking heads...

[snoopy369]

Particularly Prust just collapsing after that goal

Oh, and I'm not in last place!!

[Asher]

First NHL goal

[Flubber]

Did Boston just win 1-0 AGAIN?? weird.

Good night for the Flames-- Both teams played well but Calgary took control of the third. Both goalies had been good/lucky up until then

[Asher]

Kipper got a shutout?
