Man that loving blows. Houde is the man. The TVA guy's (I don't even know his name) "lance, et compte :geno:" is so lamely done (I'm not even quite sure if that's what he saying half the time).

I would unironically love it if Habs coverage forever was Bob Cole in English and Pierre Houde in French.

I'd be OK with Jim Hughson too.

I'm pretty grumpy about the Jets-Ducks series apparently being a Sportsnet exclusive. It's bad enough we have to suffer through Sportsnet's awful coverage, now I have to pay extra for the privilege.

What's even worse is that they've chosen to show the Rangers-Pens series on CBC in its place. gently caress off forever, Rogers.

Go Pens, Isles, Bolts, Sens, Wild, Preds, Jets and Flames.

Especially the Pens and the Wild.

I bought tickets to the Penguins' home game on April 20th, I'm sure this will give me many regrets when the day comes and the game is over but at least as game 3 I can be sure it won't be the one that eliminates the Pens.

It works assuming you use something to get around the blacked out games (i.e. all of them).

I didn't realize so many teams had their playoff tickets for sale already and I'm a little jealous! Jets tickets go on sale Tuesday morning and I'm trying to scheme a way to get out of work and furiously tap away at my phone for the 45 seconds or so they'll be available.

Then again I do have some time off around games 5 & 7, and it'd be nice to see at least one away game in my life~

Simulcast on any national network though? Because if so it would still be blacked out

The Pens are calling up both Harrington and Doumolin. Yay 6+ d - men again! Too bad Scuderi will never be scratched. He played every game this season! Can't stop that trend. :suicide:

Hooray!

.Spec posted:

Despite how easy he is to hate scratching Scuderi does nothing to help the team's "all of our defensemen are dead" issues.

I'm happy the Penguins made it only because it means that wildly small chance of getting a high draft spot and having to give it to Edmonton goes away. Now it's just on to getting kicked to the curb by the Rangers which i can deal with.

A defense of
Martin/Pouliot
Ehrhoff/Cole
Lovejoy/Scuderi (Dumoulin/Harrington in if Pouliot/Ehrhoff aren't ready and/or get hurt again))

is 4 million times better than
Martin/Cole
Lovejoy/Scuderi
Chorney

Scuderi sucks but getting sheltered minutes he's ok. Or at least, marginally acceptable?

Right but GCL only cares if it's on a national network somewhere (e: in your country). Even if it's not where you are. If it's only carried on regional networks then it should be available on GCL. Or just use one of the ways to trick it into thinking you're in Bolivia or whatever

I have never had any issues with the playoffs from my UK IP, although these days I have to spoof to somewhere like Mexico or New Zealand because they have started to enforce blackouts for games broadcast live on UK TV.

But yeah, internationally you get pretty much every game.
