akustyk 84 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 what feed? I only get Sopcast and it's either Versus or CBC or NASN. and of all this I'd rather have Versus than NASN which annoys me terribly with the same station-identification clip which is brutally bad. US/Canadian ads are mostly way too dumb for my taste but I can live with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

US/Canadian ads are mostly way too dumb for my taste but I can live with that. it's called the NHL international feed, and as far as i'm aware it's going out to 150 countries.. ofc Sopcast generally uses the NA feeds, but i'd be suprised if NASN didn't use that feed. Over here in the UK Channel 5 has it and it was damn good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akustyk 84 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Exactly, not to mention games take place at 2AM for us yeah, that's right. and it's even worse for you because generally speaking life starts earlier in your part of the world. I lived in Poland until last October and I remember very well playoff games ending after sunrise this really gave little time to take sleep and get some rest before going to work/study/etc. here in Netherlands the time zone is the same but the sun comes a good hour later. so at the end of Game 1 it was good 40 minutes before sunrise here. not that the bloody Dutch weather gave any chance to see the sun actually anyway taking into account the fact that business starts here around 8-9 (not 7-8 like we used to have it in Central Europe) there's a little bit better chance to be fresh for work pozdrawiam i pije za zdrowie czeskich przyjaciol! belgijskim piwem, bo czeskiego tu nie ma (hope it's understandable, but ask me for translation otherwise) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I missed quite a lot of morning courses at our University because of Red Wings games Edited May 25, 2008 by Reds4Life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nev 1,085 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 the NHL international feed... no crappy VS or NBC promotional crap, oh and play by play by Dave Stader and Joe Micheletti... i was in heaven Actually, I hate the International Feed, always have. Its like they suddenly treat the international audience like a bunch of N00bs who have just decided to watch the NHL, and feel the need to explain to us all what "icing" or "offsides" are They never outright criticise the refs and when talking about a player they feel the need to preface every name with "The Great" ie The Great Russian Evgeni Malkin. Basically, they treat the audience like a bunch of know-nothing idiots. Although to be fair, I did notice that they were nowhere near as bad this year, fingers crossed on that for the rest of the series. Still, seeing Nick Halling admitting that his Pens got mauled was sweet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not gonna do with literal translations because it won't work here. but "pozdrawiam i pije za zdrowie czeskich przyjaciol! belgijskim piwem, bo czeskiego tu nie ma" means in Polish something like: greeting to Czech friends and I'm raising a toast for their well-being. with Belgian beer because I can't but Czech beer here. which my Czech buddy replied with "here's one for you". those cheers actually refer to health in Slavic languages but as I said: literal translations make no sense here. I wrote in Polish he answered in Czech but we understood each other without (much) problem na zdrowie, amerykanscy przyjaciele :beerbuddy: (I think you get it ) Edited May 25, 2008 by akustyk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
