CRASHER Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 wow what a concept a network that cares about the sport busting its ass to give it's fans not only good coverage but excellent content beyond the current games this is more work then ESPN did in the entire TEN YEARS of "covering" the NHL!!!

Pepperkorn Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 we got rid of digital I can't live at a local bar... it just would never do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Is there anyway to view the games on OLN or NHL websites? Or am I better off sending 1,000 copies of the same letter to my cable company demanding that they give me the channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 we got rid of digital Now why would you do that before the season ended? Anyways, still not on Dish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsdude530 Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Maybe SNY being on the DISH Network is a sign of things to come. SNY is also owned by Comcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, I'm no fan of that bill either. Digital Cable was $80. No DVR, no HD, decent amount of channels and just HBO as an add on. Dish Network is $80. DVR, 3 TVs connected, HD programming and more channels but no premium channels. Such a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevils2003champs Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I hope they saw classic Stanley Cup videos, I taped 88 and 89 from ESPN Classic. It was awesome since the old 88 playoff stuff since I was too young to watch then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure...ESPN was supposed to give the NHL the spotlight every single night of the week with the fantastic ratings they got. Forget basketball or baseball, or any NFL Draft shows...Rome or PTI that get big ratings for the NHL. OLN doesn't have anything else but the NHL to show so it is pretty easy for them to show non stop hockey coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get to see enough ESPN in Ottawa to know what I'm talking about I'm talking about National POKER Night during the NHL Playoffs... I'm talking quality of commercials (the NBA gets those well produced, hi-tech commercials with the infectiously painful Black Eyed Peas song, and the NHL gets a GUY IN A FACTORY) I'm talking about announcers that care so little they can't get names right in the Stanley Cup Finals, who blatantly admit their homerisms having an on-air funeral as San Jose ousts Colorado to make theie first ever trip to the Western Finals while Clement holds back tears... and I won't even get into the debacle of the 2003 Finals either I don't expect ESPN to make the NHL their darling, but they spent more money on the toilet paper to clean up the sh!tting they did on the NHL instead of actually promoting and airing the game in a POSITIVE light, that's what I meant about "caring about the game".... before Disney bought ESPN/ABC they had such caring for the sport of hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 After just watching the OLN game PHI vs Pitt, I have to say its a nice setup. But one peeve, and its a biggie. What the hell is with the score on the bottom of the screen. Kind of hard to follow the puck when its covered by a score board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
