bostondevil11 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 So good you had to post it twice. Go Oilers as I sit at the stupid Red Sox game. You think I can avoid the score at the baseball game. Yeah dumb question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC Devs Fan Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Instead of rooting for a team, I'm just hoping it isn't a blowout. I've even rearranged my work schedule to go in late tomorrow in case of an OT. Game 7 OT, now that would be sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 an unprecedented third-straight SC Final game 7. and 4 of the last 6 years too. I'm pulling for the Oil, but all along I've felt the Canes were gonna win it. That home record of 11-2 in Final Game 7s shows just how tough it is to win the last game on the Road.

annabelle Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 I just called my professor to say i would not be able to make it to class because i cannot find a babysitter for my kid, she said " so now you can watch that hockey game of yours?" lmao! I guess 12 people already called and said they were not coming because of various reasons...one was that the guy was "getting hammered and watching hockey" love it!

Devilsdude530 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) Anyone else interested to see how long NBC will stay after the game's over? A couple notes: -Game 7's the Home Team is 11-2 in the SCF -This is Doc's 8th Stanley Cup Finals on TV (5 others on FOX, 2 on ESPN), 3rd Stanley Cup calling every game. -This is JD's 9th Stanley Cup Finals on TV (5 on FOX, 3 on ESPN/ABC), 4th Calling every Game. -This is Bill Clement's 20th Consecutive Stanley Cup Finals on TV, 15th with a part in every game.

RowdyFan42 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Anyone else interested to see how long NBC will stay after the game's over? My guess: - If the game ends before 11 PM Eastern, they'll stay until 11. - If the game ends between 11 PM and 1 AM, they'll get out as soon as humanly possible. - If the game ends after 1 AM Eastern, most of the East Coast affiliates have probably given up hope of doing local news and you're holding up the Central and Mountain timezones (and the West Coast if it's after 11 PM Pacific/2 AM Eastern), so the network will be mindful of that. They'll probably do about 5-10 minutes after the Cup's been raised, enough to do it the barest minimum of justice but not so long that the affiliates start getting antsy.

Belizarius Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I'm waiting for this last game of the year... I watched something like 50+ games of playoff hockey and it's the better season of my life, because it's the first time I can watch so many games. I'll watch it tomorrow night, will be difficult not to spoil the result at work but I'm a master for that now. :B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteyNice Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 If Edmonton wins I am sure they will be rolling credits as soon as the Cup is raised. If Carolina wins I agree with Rowdy's assesment. Go Oil! Stop the Hicks in the Sticks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop the Hicks in the Sticks! That explains why a couple of their broadcasters have been openly rooting for Edmonton. Anyway, I like Edmonton to make history tonight. THE NHL TODAY - MONDAY, JUNE 19 THE BIG STORIES -- 'CANES LOOK TO BRING FIRST PRO TITLE TO THE CAROLINAS -- NEW OILERS LOOKING TO WRITE THEIR OWN STANLEY CUP HISTORY -- CAM WARD KEEPING COOL UNDER PRESSURE -- OILERS KEEP STRIKING AT THE RIGHT TIME -- A STANLEY CUP FINAL FOR THE AGES -- FANS IN RALEIGH, EDMONTON BIG PART OF CLASSIC STANLEY CUP FINAL -- POLL FINDS FANS IN FAVOR OF NEW NHL 'CANES LOOK TO BRING FIRST PRO TITLE TO THE CAROLINAS Mike Potter writes in the HERALD-SUN OF DURHAM , "Sports history definitely is going to be made tonight at the RBC Center, and the only question is what kind of history it will be. The puck will drop for the most important professional sports game ever played in North Carolina tonight at 8 p.m., when the Carolina Hurricanes host the Edmonton Oilers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals with a national audience watching on NBC. Win, and the Hurricanes not only would get the franchise's first Stanley Cup, but also collect the first real major pro sports team championship for a club from the Carolinas. Lose, and they'll have to deal with holding only the Prince of Wales Trophy for the Eastern Conference championship and an interminably long summer wondering 'What if?'" http://heraldsun.com/sports/18-745403.html NEW OILERS LOOKING TO WRITE THEIR OWN STANLEY CUP HISTORY Joanne Ireland writes in the EDMONTON JOURNAL , "The shadow that was cast 20 years ago has not abated. Not yet. But for Ryan Smyth and every one of his teammates-players like Jason Smith and Ethan Moreau who have toiled in Edmonton for years and others like Jarret Stoll and Fernando Pisani and Shawn Horcoff, who all are part of the next generation-that could change today. Finally, a chance to make a new mark. 'It's like writing a new chapter in a book,' said Smyth from RBC Center Sunday, 'and we want to make it a memorable one.' If the Oilers can conquer the Carolina Hurricanes tonight, becoming the first team since 1942 to overcome a 3-1 series deficit to win the Stanley Cup, they will find their names alongside the likes of Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri and Mark Messier. They will emerge from the shadow." http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news...4ef7132&k=40087 CAM WARD KEEPING COOL UNDER PRESSURE John McGourty writes on NHL.COM , "Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward isn't thinking about the Conn Smythe Trophy, lost opportunities, great saves in losing games or any peripheral matters. The only thing that concerns the Hurricanes' brilliant rookie goalie is Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers Monday night at the RBC Center. This is the opportunity that Ward, 22, has dreamed of since he was a little kid playing street hockey on Regency Drive in the Edmonton suburb of Sherwood Park. 'I was probably Cujo at that time,' Ward said, referring to Curtis Joseph, the Oilers' goalie from 1995-98, now with the Phoenix Coyotes. 'I was just talking about that, playing street hockey back in Sherwood Park and dreaming of playing in the Stanley Cup Final in Game 7 and now that it's here, it's extremely exciting.'" http://www.nhl.com/cupcrazy/2006/serieso/ward061806.html OILERS KEEP STRIKING AT THE RIGHT TIME Ken Campbell writes in the TORONTO STAR , "Another reason why the Oilers are here has something to do with the new NHL, but it goes far beyond economics. To be sure, the Oilers benefited from a system that allowed them to acquire Pronger - whom MacTavish said has been the best NHL player in these playoffs - and Michael Peca last summer, along with Roloson, Sergei Samsonov, Jaroslav Spacek and Dick Tarnstrom near the deadline. But contrary to what many old-style apologists think, the new NHL has increased, not decreased, the amount of physical play and that has proved to be a huge boon to the Oilers in this year's playoffs. They have successfully worn down each of their opponents with a relentless physical game, to the point where players such as Raffi Torres and Ethan Moreau are as important to them going into tonight's game as the likes of Pronger, Peca and Ryan Smyth." http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentSe...l=1044442957278 A STANLEY CUP FINAL FOR THE AGES Steve Milton writes in the HAMILTON SPECTATOR , "How delicious is this? A seventh game when, 10 days ago, not even a fifth was anticipated. A series which has embodied and paid tribute to all that the new NHL has to offer...So often, a season is judged by its concluding statement and this was a frontier year for the NHL. It was a daring and desperate experiment which produced a new game, exponentially more skillful and watchable than its dreary predecessor, and it deserved a proper salute. And now it has one... We already have been given the fastest-skating final of the modern era, and probably the most artful since the mid-1950s. There can't be many more surprises left to unveil for Game 7, but if there are, this can easily be regarded as one of the best Stanley Cup finals of all time. " http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/NASApp/cs...l=1112274690807 FANS IN RALEIGH, EDMONTON BIG PART OF CLASSIC STANLEY CUP FINAL Scott Burnside writes on ESPN.COM , "The NHL simply could not have asked for a better Stanley Cup finals or two better teams to battle for the first championship in the post-lockout NHL. Fans in both cities have established themselves as among the classiest in all pro sport. Each building now loudly sings the national anthem of the opposing team in full throat. That and Edmonton anthem singer Paul Lorieau turning the last half of 'O Canada' over to the Oilers fans will remain one of the most endearing images of the finals. And so it is somehow just and right that it will come down to one game to crown a champion. Each team will gird itself with different armor in preparing for this one final test." http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs2006...tory?id=2490443 POLL FINDS FANS IN FAVOR OF NEW NHL Canadian Press reports, "A new poll...by Decima Research, conducted June 15-18 in the heat of the Edmonton Oilers-Carolina Hurricanes Stanley Cup final, gave a Don Cherry-esque two thumbs up to the (2005-06) rule changes. By a margin of more than three to one, respondents said the changes made the game more appealing, compared to those who felt it detracted." http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/hockey...53308ff2&k=8894 MULTIMEDIA NBC Sports' Bill Clement, Ray Ferraro and Ed Olczyk preview Game 7: http://video.msn.com/v/us/msnbc.htm?g=f643...ad&f=00&fg=copy LEAGUE BUSINESS NEWS -- PepsiCo, NHL and NHLPA sign multi-year deal: http://media.nhl.com/media/app?service=pag...06/06/3957.html -- NHL, NHLPA announce multi-year licensing agreements with EA and 2K Sports: http://media.nhl.com/media/app?service=pag...06/06/3963.html QUICK HITS -- Neil Stevens on the maturation of Raffi Torres: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/News/2006...1640084-cp.html -- Jack Daly on how Rod Brind'Amour affects the play of the Hurricanes: http://heraldsun.com/sports/18-745399.html -- Andrew Shain on seven reasons to watch Game 7: http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/spo...ey/14851204.htm -- Rem Murray teams up with Dystonia Medical Research Foundation to raise awareness: http://www.drugnewswire.com/2162/ -- Matthew Fisher on the Stanley Cup fever gripping Canadian troops in Kandahar, Afghanistan: http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news...3089041&k=28104 A LOOK AHEAD TO THE NHL DRAFT -- Alan Hahn on how the NHL's emphasis on speed will help draft prospect Vladimir Nikiforov: http://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/ny-sp...ockey-headlines -- Dave Molinari on draft prospect Michael Frolik's similarities to Jaromir Jagr: http://post-gazette.com/pg/06170/699377-61.stm -- Dave Molinari on Evgeny Malkin's linemate in Russia, draft prospect Nikolai Kulemin: http://post-gazette.com/pg/06170/699379-61.stm -- Joe Sager on draft prospect Erik Johnson: http://www.pittsburghpenguins.com/team/fea...arts/1916.0.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Thanks for the links Derek. Especially liked the one about the 2,200 troops trying to fit into the 100 person TV tent to watch the game over in Afghanistan. I wonder if The Team puts the games the radio because I have a feeling I'm going to lose power before everything starts. Huge storm going on here and the lights have flickered already.....

Also, radio listeners in the NY/NJ area can tune to 1050 ESPN Radio to hear the game (assuming you don't have one of those nifty radios that also picks up the VHF band so you can listen to Channel 4).
