Dante Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Being a TML and San Jose Shark fan keeps me busy enough during hockey season. This season, with the league overhaul and drastic power shifting, it will be even more interesting. Sabres should be more competitive and although im indifferent to the Penguins, Im looking forward to watching Crosby play. It looks like he is the real deal. Quote from the Toronto Sun "Crosby is polished in a way no 18-year-old could dream of. He attacks the net ferociously and was roughed up by Bruins defenders all night. And he is one of the few skill players of any age to disdain the perimeter." And the link to the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're having some "down time" due to some large scale code re-factoring, but I digress... If a game is on OLN, or CBC... will Direct TV black the games out like the used to do with the Empire games and stick up the "call to order Center Ice" message? Man, cause if they do, I hate that.

As much as my wife is hating this, I'm loving the return of 2 games/day! Thank God for hockey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 sorry for not doing my own research, but are the center ice games available in HD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 sorry for not doing my own research, but are the center ice games available in HD? 450997[/snapback] It depends on your cable/satellite provider as well as the network carrying the game, but generally not, or at least not the last time there was an NHL season.

BUT if the are playing at home, and local TV isnt carrying it, Center Ice blacks it out. Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only gripe I've ever had is when they don't carry the Sabres' coverage and I have to listen to terrible announcers drone on about everything other than the game. Pens and Wings are among the worst offenders IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 Coincidence. Just got home from workand recieved a letter today confirming Center Ice from DTV. Looks like they cut $30 off last season. Thats alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I have yet to see whether or not Comcast will be carrying the Center Ice package. It seems like common sense that they would since they've got a vested interest in the NHL now. I'll have to call tomorrow to check this out. I need my Sabres!

And, I also assume that no games will be HD until OLN goes HD, and the provider, either D* or cable, picks that channel up. Thats why I didn't like this OLN deal. At least ESPN now has two channels in HD. OLN I would assume is at least a season away. May be wrong, but I think the only HD games will be on NBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be one hell of a winter with almost a limited amount of NHL games and a lot of BU games to go to too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 Forget the remote beinga problem....TML fan? Oh the horror!! 451087[/snapback] I do follow the Sabres somewhat though. Have a soft spot for them because I used to go to a lot of games at the Aud when I was younger during the French Connection days. That must count for something, no?
