I live in the 3rd largest television market in the country. I have NBC, Versus, NHL Network, and NHL Center Ice and i'm unable to watch this game. This my friends, is a complete joke!

yes, he had a HORRIBLE start, but more than a quarter of the season since - look at the numbers: Over the last 22 games: 22GP 5G 14A 19P +5 Some people will continue to hate him, but as was touched on in last nights telecast, Cleary, Datsyuk and Hudler have developed some amazing chemistry and that pass last night to Dats was pure beauty... Hate all you want, but it's really starting to look like the guy just needed to get back up to NHL speed, and he has been one of our best players over the last 20+ games...

I found this gif from HFBoards.com. Can't stop laughing!

I don't know that there's many here who actually hate Hudler. Sure, there's a few. For the first half of the season, most people were just saying he was awful, which he absolutely was. And hoped he would get better, which he did. Hopefully he'll keep playing the way he has lately and we'll never see the crappy incarnation of Hudler from the first part of the season again.

'Tearing it up' is one way of putting it. He scored 12 points in 17 games between those two dates; certainly very respectable, about where he ought to be using his prior season as reference. He has played better since joining Datsyuk, with 8 points in 6 games. This isn't exactly a shocking revelation, I don't think he's ever skated a regular shift with Datsyuk, and in combination with Cleary this is far and away the best line he's ever been on.

Someone needs to upload that to YouTube. I have a feeling I'd like Grapes' rant quite a bit.

Am I the only one who thinks it is a bit freaky?

I got excited thinking it actually was going to be something NEW

The most boring period of hockey this season. Wow.

Ken Daniels on the Flyers and Rangers? I'd say NBC has made up their minds who will succeed Doc Emerick one day

I have NBC, VS, NHL Network, and Center Ice. I have an HDMI cable from my pc to my tv. But I run Linux, and NBC is using microsoft silver light bull s*** so nbcsports isn't working for me either. This is all kinds of f***ed. I can't even express how mad I am at the nonsense.

Thats bulls***, pay 160 to get the games. I dont want to watch it on my monitor, i want to watch it on my big HDTV!

If that picture was taken from a seat, I'd be pissed for having spent money on a ticket. It looks like a bunch of ants skating around there. I'm all for having 100K Red Wings fans packed into a stadium, but if you can't even see the game whats the point? I'd rather watch it at a bar where I can see what's going on.

Well courtesy of that fantastic TV deal with NBC, they aren't even offering the regional coverage on Center Ice. I purchase Center Ice because I want to watch Wings games because I'm outside of the regional market, as are a s*** ton of Wings fans. Thanks for defeating the whole purpose of why I pay $160 a season. According to NBC here in Columbia, we get Pittsburgh @ Philly at 12:30, then Pittsburgh @ Chicago at 3:00. That's a tough schedule for the Pens today.

We can hope

I really like Kindl. I think he's done pretty well, considering the circumstances.

The Lottery Classic.

I agree keep the Canadian teams out of it. The Outdoor Game is for NBC, and like you said, Canada, and CBC I'll add, has the Heritage Classic. I'm ok each year having one outside game in America, and another one in Canada. Edit: Besides, America has the better venues for it, Canada doesn't. Half of the fun of the Outdoor Game is where they are played.

Go to Ann Arbor, 100,000 Red Wings fans in one place would be great! It would put to shame any opposing fans who don't think we're Hockeytown!

Detroit will get another Winter Classic when it changes its name to Pittsburgh.

Exactly. Avery's a pest, but Cooke is genuinely dangerous.

This. Mario hasn't released any public statements about his team turning his beloved game into a sideshow by leading the league in fighting majors and featuring the league's biggest punk this side of Sean Avery.

I don't really like the guy on the ice but if he recognized that he had or has a problem and is getting help for it, more power to him, especially if he's not being forced kicking and screaming to do so.
