Sorry to all of my regular readers who aren’t hockey fans, but I just found something really cool that I wanted to share. The NHL is posting entire games on Google Video. This may be the final straw in the “I need high-speed internet at home” self-debate (I get dial-up for free). The games are sorted by team, so you can watch all of your team’s games.
Here is one of the games pitting my Pittsburgh Penguins against the hated Philadelphia Flyers:
I listen to ESPN radio driving home from work late at night, and they rarely (re:never) talk about the NHL.
The NHL needs to get back on ESPN, or the like.
I miss having a nightly game.
I totally agree that the NHL needs to get back onto ESPN. The game is much improved since the lockout, but no one is seeing it because it is on Outdoor Life Network (or is it called Versus now?). I am lucky I get Fox Sports Pittsburgh so I can watch the Penguins.
Buffalo, the Rangers and Chicago were my favorite teams to watch. And Colorado. I remember several years ago my wife and I would watch at least 3 games a week.
If fact, our second date was a Rangers vs. Blackhawks game with Gretzky and Messier.
That is very cool. I’m a Rangers fan, myself.
S William Shaw,
That is pretty cool that your second date with your wife was a hockey game. I saw Gretzky play the Penguins in Pittsburgh toward the end of his career. He still had an excellent eye for making the perfect pass.
EDW,
I’m glad you liked the link. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh cool. I didn’t know that. Thanks! (go Habs go)
Shari – no problem. Also, I’m a Pens fan but also enjoy the Habs. When we were in high school my best friend would often wear a Patrick Roy Canadiens jersey.
