frankie Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 What an awesome game!! Sooo exciting, I cannot believe that US just scored Quote
Ben Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 I was gob-smacked when team USA scored with 24 seconds left, the extra player thing actually worked.. for a change. All in vain though, seems fitting that the last gold medal of the games should go to the host country. Loved the hockey this Olympics, first time I've really bothered. Might watch in future, was an excellent game. Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 It was by far one of the most memorable and best Olympic games to have been played. Congrats to team Canada for taking the gold, they deserved it Unfortunately I only got to see bits and parts of the game as I ended up babysitting 5 month old twins who were very hungry, hyper and well.... I won't share what else they were. I look forward to seeing the highlights later, I'm sure they will be played over and over! I did get to see USA recieve their silver metals, they should be proud of how well they did. Quote
DanC_84 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Well done to Canada. We have a Canadian at our work who actually took the day off to watch it. I bet he is pretty stoked. Quote
frankie Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 Yep, congratulations to both Canada and USA, it was an excellent game. Quote
Johnny Carson Whit Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Ok I have Ice Hockey on ESPN America right now. Can someone tell me how the heck you are supposed to track the puck? It should have a light on it Quote
Peacefield Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I think it's easier for the players than for us watching on TV, JCW! What game are you watching? Who's playing? Quote
Johnny Carson Whit Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I think it's easier for the players than for us watching on TV, JCW! What game are you watching? Who's playing? Being honest, I'm not sure what teams were playing I felt dizzy after about ten minutes trying to find the puck, looking at which teams were playing was a secondary activity It was an NHL game on ESPN America though.

Peacefield Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Well I hope you catch more games, it might get easier to watch as you go along! It's really exciting to catch in person too, especially when you're right on the other side of the glass! Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) I should have looked for this thread before posting in the 'what are you watching' thread So who's going to make the Stanley Cup Finals this year? I was convinced the Caps would push the Penguins in the East, but that's out the window now. I would've loved to see Ovechkin go up against Crosby again. Really hoping Chicago make a go of it in the West - they're exciting to watch. The Habs/Pens game 2 is on ESPN America in about an hour, and then the Wings/Sharks game 2 is on at midnight (UK time) - and no work tomorrow so I can stay up Edited May 2, 2010 by Karsa Orlong Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Crikey, what's going on with Montreal?? First they dump out Washington and now Pittsburgh Quote
frankie Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 Tis the season again! Let's talk hockey! I haven't been able to watch any of the games so far because my TV's been broken but BF fixed it again. I know what it is that he does, it always starts to work when he's around. Any fans out there? Who are you rooting for? C'mon c'mon! Quote

They are in the middle of the Stanley Cup finals now and my state's team didn't advance very far . If the Philadelphia Flyers are still in though I'm rooting for them to take the Cup! Quote
frankie Posted May 10, 2011 Author Posted May 10, 2011 Aw, that's too bad about your team not making it But surely you Americans put up a team for the World Championships? Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Can't believe the Sharks let the Wings off the hook Game 6 tonight Quote
Peacefield Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I know, Karsa, I was surprised! Frankie, apparently we do have a team in the World Championships, so we'll see how we do, I guess! Quote
frankie Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 Woooo! The Finns beat their eastern neighbor Russia tonight, so it's Finland against Sweden on Sunday, fighting for the gold medal. It'll be a great match to watch, I'd say it's Finland's dream final, playing against Sweden, our great rival country! I'm so excited, and I have to say I didn't dream of beating Russia today. Quote
frankie Posted May 15, 2011 Author Posted May 15, 2011 Finland beat Sweden 6-1 and won the world championship and I'm shivering this is so amazinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Peacefield Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Way to go to the Finns! I found out over yesterday that one of our former pro hockey players, Derek Boogaard, who played for the Wild before heading to New York, was found dead in his apartment over the weekend. He was only 28, and still lived here in Minneapolis. So far there hasn't been a cause of death but an autopsy is being performed. Quote
frankie Posted May 15, 2011 Author Posted May 15, 2011 Yes I heard about that too, although didn't know about him at all. It was in the online news magazine. There were loads of comments, saying 'RIP Boogeyman". Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 So the NHL have taken the broadcast rights away from ESPN and given them to two different companies who have proceeded to re-sell the rights across the world, supposedly with a view towards expanding the sport's popularity. So what have they done? They've priced ESPN America out of the bidding and sold the UK rights to Premier Sports. Premier Sports! Another extra subscription to a channel that will be showing less games, most of which won't be live, and only in standard def. The only other alternative is to pay £101 to subscribe to the NHL's internet-only Gamecenter Live. No thanks. I'll do without the NHL. Idiots. Quote
Ben Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 That sounds a really crappy and expensive deal for the fans! Interestingly enough I was thinking about Ice Hockey today, and how I enjoyed it when I watched some World Championships, or Olympics perhaps, sometime ago. I was wondering about starting to watch again, but have no idea if it's even in season or which team I would support or anything like that. Is there any major matches on at the moment? Doing a quick search it seems NHL is the stuff I'd enjoy watching, now just to pick myself a random team. Quote
Peacefield Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 The hockey season's just started, Ben, so I'm excited! I pretty much just follow my state's team, the Minnesota Wild. Our next game is tomorrow night Big rivalry games usually consist of matchups between teams like the Chicago Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Redwings, Toronto Mapleleafs or of course, the Wild .

If you're in Yorkshire, you might be better off going to live matches in the UK Elite League: http://www.eliteleague.co.uk/ If we had a London team I'd be going - I used to go when we had the London Knights, but they folded a few years ago Quote
emmylou Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 I am a big UK ice hockey fan, I support the Nottingham Panthers. They show this on Sky Sports too on a friday night, they have a highlights show and then show a live game once every couple of months. Quote
