That was your give away for the night boyz. Buckle down and win this thing.

5-0 baby! YEAH!

And who has said the Duck's aren't dirty? Now I'm pissed off.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! And Jiggies OUT! I love it!

Even the Versus intermission toads have stated that Hasek was "pitchforked into the net" - but no comment that you can't do that. They must be scared of being critical of the calls or the league. I hope my laptop battery lasts through OT. Homer in the first 4 min or a Cleary SH tally.

OT - crap.

What s*** - whistle if you can't see it.

And who wasn't happy about Malt's contract extension?

Our games 2 and 3 are on Versus HD (Buckeye 628) while games 1, 4, 6 and 7 are on INHD/MOJO (Buckeye 654). ECF games 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 are on Versus HD, game 1 on INHD/MOJO and both series game 5 is on NBC. (info from Vs website - link was posted above). I'm actually surprised Buckeye is carrying these channels, especially since the Wings coverage is relegated to the massage parlor advertising page in the Blade.

You forgot the Clerks linkup - he was in Clerks 2, the sequel to Clerks where they of course played hockey atop the Quik Stop roof

I think the disallowed goal was a BS ruling - but glad the Sabres obviously didn't let it affect them negatively. For a few minutes it looked like this could be a Buffalo score fest, but it's settled down some.

First off to all those in the armed forces - Thank you for your service. I'm sorry if it sounds like whining, I DO realize that HD is a luxury - but my qualm is with the preferential treatment the NHL and Vs are providing. 5 of the ECF games are on the Versus HD - the package that I get for no extra premium (aside from the premium for the cable converter box) whereas 2 of the WCF games are on Versus HD. Each series has one game on NBC, which provides a free HD signal. Why the disparity in the Red Wings coverage? The only reason I got te upgraded package is because Versus pulled exclusivity on the WCF games, but not on the ECF games, otherwise I'd watch it in standard def on CBC and be just peachy. But I had to pay to get the games, so since I am paying, I want equal treatment - am I expected to believe that less advertisers want to pay to advertise during the WCF games? Therefore I have to pay even more if I want to receive the sam quality of broadcasts as the ECF series?

Speaking of Perry(winkle) - did anyone catch the small mic'd up portion they had to cut short right before he blasted Cheli in the back? He was starting to sound like a basketball player...before they cut the audio...

Double tap - sorry

Like this:

Ditto here - I sucked it up and got the HD box tonight. The TV Guide feature advertised the game as being on Versus HD - no go. The prick at Cablesystem told me that Versus website showed the next HD game would be tomorrow - Um, why bother with the TV Guide if I have to go to the website... THe NHL needs to pull their heads out of their collectively bargained asses and demand a certain TV package - not sell out to the highest network whores. And reading that link on Versus - obviously the Wings must be a better payday - 2 of our games on the basic Versus HD channel. It's costs extra (where I'm at) to get the INHD channel. What a load - first they go exclusive on the Wings series, then they give more basic subscription HD coverage to the Sabres/Sens. I don't care what Versus offered - this is very unsettling to the FANS NHL.

My simple contribution: Special on iced duck!

Who can point out the difference between: 1. Fri, May 11 – at Detroit, 7:30 pm EDT (VS., TSN) 2. Sun, May 13 – at Detroit, 7:30 pm EDT (VS., CBC) 3. Tue, May 15 – at Anaheim, 9:00 pm EDT (VS., TSN) 4. Thu, May 17 – at Anaheim, 9:00 pm EDT (VS., CBC) 5.* Sun, May 20 – at Detroit, 3:00 pm EDT (NBC, TSN) 6.* Tue, May 22 – at Anaheim, 9:00 pm EDT (VS., CBC) 7.* Thu, May 24 – at Detroit, 7:30 pm EDT (VS., TSN) and this: 1. Thu, May 10 – at Buffalo, 7:00 pm EDT (VS., CBC) 2. Sat, May 12 – at Buffalo, 8:00 pm EDT (VS., CBC) 3. Mon, May 14 – at Ottawa, 7:00 pm EDT (VS., CBC) 4. Wed, May 16 – at Ottawa, 7:00 pm EDT (VS., CBC) 5.* Sat, May 19 – at Buffalo, 2:00 pm EDT (NBC, CBC) 6.* Mon, May 21 – at Ottawa, 7:00 pm EDT (VS., CBC) 7.* Wed, May 23 – at Buffalo, 7:00 pm EDT (VS., CBC) Thats right - I can watch EVERY Sabres/Sens game on basic cable (CBC) - no additional $$. But to watch Game 1, Game 3 or Game 7 of the Redwings series - I have to slum it. NHL - you're not making any sense. Versus - you just plain suck.

I understand it's Hockey Night in Canada, but c'mon - Versus could've exercised exclusivity on their games too - Why only on the Wings series? I'll admit the lockout year left a bad taste in my mouth and I LOVE the game. How are you going to win back the casual fans when they can't see it? This is spotlight time guys - put on the prom dress and show off! Get the best commentators, put on the best intermission shows, show some of the pregame fanfare - show the world what they have ignored - don't sock it away on a mediocre exclusive sports channel. Hell, our local paper (The Toledo Blade - One America's Great Newspapers suffering severe financial and labor difficulties) even calls it MUST SEE TV - obviously an NBC plug, but um, only one game in our series will be on NBC. I hope I'm not the only one going to the NHL feedback page... And to the Sopcast question - aside from your search http://myp2p.eu/NHL.htm has all the feeds for each day. You'll need to download the appropriate player. Someone also has ahd streams up on TVU when Sopcast wasn't working last week. I don't consider online streaming a real solution though - it should be on TV.

Moved from Ohio (Toledo Area) to Downriver Detroit (Flatrock area) in the fall of '96. There was no option but to become a Wings fan - especially in the years that followed Eventually moved back to my hometown but there's no going back now I try to convert more fans every day.

NHL and NBC complaints lodged. NBC won't do squat me thinks, but at least I spoke. Flood em! I think I'll call m local affiliate in the AM and see what they're carrying - I'm out of market I bet but I don't think I can grab the OTA HD signal from the Motor City.

That is correct. I can't stand Versus either, but I want to see the game.

Heroes beat me to it. Thanks to his post in another thread I was able to go searching and found the TVU feed.
