tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31597 Loc: Seattle, WA	I think I'm gonna be all slick and watch game 7 without commercials. So an hour after it starts I cue up the Tivo'ed game and it's the fucking 5'o clock news. I've missed the first hour of the final game of hockey this year (after not even HAVING a stanley cup game at all last year) and the guide data was wrong and my local TV station wasn't even showing the thing. I was using both tuners, trying to catch the thing in both high def and standard def, neither channel was showing it. I've found a channel that is, but it's an hour into the game and it's in standard def only. Jesus this sucks. _________________________ Tony Fabris

tonyc carpal tunnel Registered: 27/06/1999 Posts: 7058 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	Yeah, Carolina just looks a lot more crisp and focused tonight. I guess there's a reason that the home team is 11-2 in NHL final game 7 history. I guess I'm pulling for Carolina because they've got two of my favorite ex-Flyers (Recchi and Brind'Amour) but the idea of hockey in Carolina still doesn't sit well with me. _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

After Brind'amore made that post series crack at Ruff (I'm a long time Sabres fan) there was no way I was rooting for the Canes, even though I usually support the Eastern Conf. team. On a DVR related note, I almost missed Deadwood last night. I had the thing programmed to record the show, one minute before I check, and it shows up as not marked to record.... I got it just in time. I needed to leave a few mintues later and was really glad I checked.

SE_Sport_Driver carpal tunnel Registered: 05/01/2001 Posts: 4903 Loc: Detroit, MI USA	I wanted the Oilers to win so the Wings didn't look so bad! Oh, and because I grew up loving Waybe, Mark, Paul and Grant during the 80's. Having Coffey play in Detroit was surreal. _________________________ Brad B.

They had a news flash thing going on about forest fires up outside of Flagstaff. Instead of doing the brief flashes to the news, they had it splitscreen with audio on the news part. I'm not sure how long that lasted, but I came back for the third period and it was finally fullscreen with audio.

Nor I (and I'm in the winning town), but I'd just like to point out that there are seven NHL teams south of us: LA Kings Dallas Stars Phoenix Coyotes Anaheim Mighty Ducks Atlanta Thrashers Florida Panthers Tampa Bay Lightning And a couple more just barely more northerly: Nashville Predators (about 30 miles north) San Jose Sharks (about 100 miles north) _________________________ Bitt Faulk

When they didn't score during that minute's worth of 5-on-3, I knew the cup was lost. I was so rooting for the Oilers, the cup belongs in Canada. _________________________ Tony Fabris

Hockey shouldn't exist in places where ice is unable to form naturally. On the other hand, I'm glad it does exist in LA, at least -- I (finally) learned to play last year.

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	Oh, ice exists here. Not often, but when it does, it's disastrous. Mostly because the temperature differential between day and night is such that snow melts during the day and then refreezes as a solid sheet of ice at night. Usually the first day of a snowstorm is not too bad. The next day is horrendous. _________________________ Bitt Faulk
