Maybe he came back to fill in after  Chris Rooney broke his leg during the Caps/Rangers game yesterday?

[HankthaTank]

Well, McCreary is one of the last legit refs around, so hopefully no BS tonight for once.....

McCreary refereeing?

[cusimano_brothers]

I was listening to the radio coverage of the game he did in Buffalo, near the end of the season, and Harry Neale was very specific in saying it was Mr. McCreary's final regular-season game in Buffalo and his last here, unless he comes here to do a playoff game. I've found articles online that state "final regular-season game".

From the Coyotes website:

Tonight's Officials
Referees Kevin Pollock (33), Chris Lee (28) Linesmen Shane Heyer (55), Jonny Murray (95)

Jovanovski officially in.... Morris still out

RT @Real_ESPNLeBrun: Tippett confirms Jovo is IN, Morris remains OUT

If I were Jovanovski (this is a bad move)

RT @walshtodd: Jovo w out cage. He's in. He prefers no cage. Not sure yet for game time. Morris didn't skate. #detphx

Time to seek out and destroy!

Has there been any word from that Tyson guy? I want to know if he still thinks the Wings fear the Coyotes.

[8 Legged RedWing]

Hopefully helm lays the smackdown on Jovo. Let's go Wings! Get the stranglehold on them tonight!

[ACallToArms]

Jovanovski officially in....

...and he's still a douchebag.

Go Wings!

That is all.

Does anyone know if this game will be on Center Ice? My guide doesn't show it but I have learned not to trust it this year until almost game time. DTV offerred me $40/month to drop Versus, I couldn't pass on that, but I expected the playoff schedule to be like prior years. Waiting until game time to find out if I get the game on TV is killing me.

I gotta believe its on NBC, I know ill be watching it on CBC up here in Canada. They have seemed to carry every other game.

Blaayze, the game will not be on NBC. Those are only weekend games and Games 3-7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

dcd, this is one of those games where we hope and pray the game before us on Versus (which is the channel it'll be on *exclusively*) ends before the start time of our game. PHI/BUF starts at 7:00 ET and DET/PHX begins 3.5 hours later. As long as the PHI/BUF game doesn't go deep and past the first OT or longer, those with Versus will be able to see the Wings game in entirety. Those without Versus (in the USA atleast) are gonna be S.O.L.

If the game does go past the first OT, we can only expect live look-ins until the game concludes. Scary s*** for any non-local Wings fan.

Ahh ok, wasn't sure of the system down there, up here the coverage is split between TSN, TSN2, or CBC channels. Seen a ton of games on NBC so it was a guess. So sorry! At least it's clarified now, and if the question gets presented again I will know; well, everyone can spread the word!

[Hossa4Life]

I hate when people complain about the late games. Everyone can watch this way just lose some sleep for god sake. Its the Red Wings playoffs, go to work tired.

So Versus doesn't exist in Canada? Am I correct to assume the NHL has a contract with TSN in Canada (hence, where the USA Versus games would go along with being on Center Ice)?

[Blaayze]

umm, well not as it's own station, no it does not. But sometimes TSN or the NHL Center Ice pulls from there, but in the post season its ALL TSN and CBC. Could also just be that we have Bell ExpressVu satellite. I cant speak for others who use rogers or what not. Wings are normally on CBC (provided a "good" Canadian team, or Toronto, is not playing at the same time(especially in playoffs)), but after that its TSN, then if for some reason its not on either of those, they take feeds from random NBC/FSN/Versus channels and throw it on center ice.

[Hockeytown0001]

Not working for me either. Have you tried praying?

Couldn't hurt.

[Firehawk]

Well,I predicted the right score last game. I will likely be wrong this time. I think Phx will get every break in the book and win tonight, and we'll all be sweating a bit for game 4. Just my opinion, and knowing how the NHL keeps manipulating games.

Will it be called a penalty?

[CrimsonFlame]

Am I the only one that likes the late games? I mean I'm up until 2AM normally anyway so it fits perfectly into my schedule. Otherwise I have to race home at 7 to catch the game.

[Holmstrom96]

Read my words:

Powerplays 2:1 in favor of the yotes. If we get 3 PP's, they'll get at least six.

5 on 3: Guaranteed for the 'yotes



Also, Homer will have one goal called back for phantom interference. At the other end the 'yotes will bulldoze Howard and the goal(s) will stand.
