    He might get swept up by the Stars, given that they're running on an interim head coach right now.

    Most teams that fire their coach during the season keep the replacement, even if it's just interim, for the remainder of the season, as much so the players don't have to attempt to learn yet another system in the middle of the season. Not to say it won't happen, but I'd be surprised if it does.

    It looks better in this video. Not sure why the promo pictures the stripes all line up yet in this video they don’t.

    My guess is the stripes are supposed to line up, but pads/sweatshirts/sweaters will cause the stripes on the sleeves to be further up the arm. Also photoshop.

    I don't hate them, they just look very different.

    I do appreciate the attempt to integrate the stupid Adidas collar design into the top of the mountain to make it look slightly less stupid that the front of the collar is different than the rest of it.

    Not sure if you are all aware, but league wide scoring is up considerably this season. No one's really sure why. But there is definitely some weird stuff going on this year

    Ya I don't have TV, just usually watch on nhl.tv since I live out of market. I'd have to go to a bar somewhere that plays hockey to watch any national broadcast game of theirs.

    Since I live in Tampa I get to watch it on FSN Florida or whatever it is. And I really do enjoy our commentators. I believe he is leaving at the end of the season to retire. At that point I’ll reevaluate. But I really think our commentators are good compared to others around the league. Our radio guys are the best as well. NBCSN guess always saying makes wrong takes me out of the game at times trying to figure out who their talking about.

    Ya the FSN guys are pretty good. One of the things I like about nhl.tv is that I can watch either the home or away broadcast so I can still listen to them even though I haven't lived in Florida for years.

    And yes the Mishkin radio highlights are always a fun listen.

    Nope. the NBC Sports part will be behind the pay tiers, either $5/month with ads/free if you're an xfinity subscriber, or $10/month ad free/$5 if you are an xfinity subscriber.

    Well fuck. Maybe at least they'll stream the games that they already call free(if you put in your non-free cable subscription login)?

  • Options
    H0b0manH0b0man Registered User regular
    I doubt it. I'll sometimes use my sister's cable login to watch things that require you to log in, but her cable package doesn't include NBCSports so it doesn't work for that. I can't imagine that will change with this new service.

    TV rights for sports remains one of the last bastions of traditional/cable TV. They are one of the very few things left that are live and worth watching, so they'll be among the last to go streaming only, at least in some aspects.

    I'm in Canada so it's a bit different than the US, but my ISP got me to subscribe to cable for two more years in December when i was really thinking about dropping it. Here in Canada Sportsnet and TSN are the two main Cable sports channels, and they actually both have streaming packages where you can get all of their content streaming, which is actually kinda great. The problem is to subscribe to both of them at the level I would need to would be $48/month. and my ISP offered me a package where the cost of a TV package with both TSN and Sportsnet was $40/month. And that includes access to the streaming versions of the content. It was a no brainier.

    Yes, I could have dumped cable, and only subscribed to the streaming packages I needed for the months I actually watch those channels, but honestly the way they split the sports rights in canada I'd subscribe to both for at least 10 months of the year so it's not worth it to juggle/manage.

    You get two points for a win under any circumstance.
    If you lose in overtime (happens if tied after 60 minutes) or in a shootout (happens if tied after five minutes of 3-on-3 overtime), you get a single point.

    So if a match goes into overtime, the winner gets 2 pts, and the loser would also get 1?

    Some games worth 3 points and some games are worth 2.

    It comes up every year but pretty much the primary reason the NHL still uses the system 2-0-1 it has now is because it keeps the playoff race tight until well into the final weeks of the season and they can use this to drive ticket sales for those games.

    I was curious too, so I did the math real quick. It's still pretty tight. Edmonton and Vancouver would be tied with 79 points, Arizona and Vegas both would have 76 and Calgary would have 74

    Yeah it's one of those things where you can do the math every season and the standings are going to look almost the same. couple teams move, but generally of the 16 teams that make the playoffs usually 15 or so still end up in.

    People cry for the 3-2-1-0 system so that way all the games are worth the same, and I'm among those people, but realistically it doesn't change a whole bunch.

    In the KHL all star game last week, they had Linus Omark, former left wiger for parts of three NHL seasons, play goalie and he won the game for his team in the shootout.

    So, the all star game could be fun, if the NHL were a fun league
