[rulin]

The Russians are wearing black armbands right? It's hard to tell on the screen.

I'm pretty sure they are. They're quite thin.

 

[Anthony*]

[Preds]

I didn't know Andrei Kovalenko was still around!!! LOL

I want him back in the NHL :gman:

 

[Joe_Sakic#19]

It's looking good, so far.

 

[wilka91*]

[MontrealSF]

This crowd is awful...

Stay in Montreal next time.

 

[Foppa_Rules]

I thought the coach said Ovechkin would play....

 

[jpsharkfan]

Sorry if this has already been posted. Who are todays healthy scratches? Thanks!

 

[Preds]

I thought the coach said Ovechkin would play....

The coach lied like a b****

 

[Foppa_Rules]

He did lie and I am very unhappy about it.

 

[wilka91*]

I haven't heard anything about Ovechkin in the Russian press (online)

 

[HF_Rangers]

RUS 6 SOG, 4 scoring chances, 5 hits
CAN 9 SOG, 7 scoring changes, 8 hits

 

[Hockeyfan02]

But you know what, it's not like were missing much. I mean how much talent is on Canada and Russia really, so I could see why ESPN would not want to show the game. *sigh*

There is another thread for *****ing about ESPN....

 

[Foppa_Rules]

I feel like the Russians are shoving Ovechkin under the rug.

 

[HF_Rangers]

The Russians are indeed wearing black armbands.

 

[VanIslander]

... Flyman, North Americans only... though there might be a way around it since a South Korean resident viewed SWE/FIN before.

That was me, in South Korea. I watched the Finn-Swede game and was all hyped up for the Canada-Russian game.

Then I noticed I can no longer access the feed. It now says "for U.S. residents only". It'll take a good six months before I'll consider buying any ESPN services.

At least my one hockey game of the year was a doosy.

I hear there's a live radio feed via chum radio in Vancouver. I'm going to find it now.

(It doesn't sound like my 6-2 for Canada prediction is turning out quite as planned unless the second period goes very different than posted about around here!)

 

[HF_Rangers]

Canada penalty for cross-checking on Lecavalier at 3:03.

 

[Shane]
