]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @Becky_MI: DirecTV and Dish could probably make a few bucks by selling a CanCon package of CBC, TSN, Global, etc. I wonder if the orbital slots would allow them to poach ExpressVu's signals directly?

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @Le Légende de Vincent Tremblay: Thousands of Quebeçois are nodding right now...

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> I'm going to steal a line from The Bad One:
The referees in this game will immediately be taken to Parkland Memorial to locate the whistles that they seem to have swallowed.

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> I miss CBC, dumb satellite restrictions.

Becky_MI

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> I'd kill to have access to the TSN feed right now. The only thing spoiling this game is Daryl Reaugh's whining on Fox Sports Southwest.

The Joy of Cesc

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @Le Légende de Vincent Tremblay:

I'm with Yostal and just happy to get a TSN or CBC feed. Vastly superior to Versus' own crew.

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> Everything's bigger in Texas, including the ice girls' racks.

@Yostal: No complaints here. Just think the logo rules are a little unfair to Canadian fans. (Translation: Bettman came up with this rule.)

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> "the girls... with the shovels" - he said that with just an ounce of contempt.

@Le Légende de Vincent Tremblay: I was watching that earlier, trying to figure if that was real or a graphic like on Fox Soccer

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @Le Légende de Vincent Tremblay: Shhh, we're getting the dulcet tones of Chris Cuthbert as a result.

Yostal

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> Does anybody else find it odd that Vs. gets their logo on the corner boards, even though they're just simulcasting the TSN feed, because it's an American rink?

The Legend of Vincent Tremblay

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> That Richards move looked like the end.

Yostal

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @The Joy of Cesc: Remember, Marty liked to wander back in his Michigan days. They were considering an invisible fence for him after a similar Osgood '94 move at the Joe during a CCHA playoff game.

Yostal

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> If Turco pulls an Osgood '94 to end this game, I'm mailing back my UM diploma and moving out of Dallas in protest...

The Joy of Cesc

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @notthequarterback: Yep. We were waiting to play Maine at Albany in the old two regionals days for the right to go to Providence. It was also Oscar night, so I remember being at a Michigan hockey party that was going to segue into an Oscar party until the BU game ran really really long.

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> Screen or deflection is the only way this thing is ending.

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @Yostal: For some reason I thought it used to be a regular break between regulation and OT, then something like five minutes between OTs. Although it probably just always seemed like five minutes because of the impending doom that came with Detroit overtimes since 2002.

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @JB*: Pens-Flyers? It was 2003 before my fingernails grew back.

San Jose with the momentum now.

The Legend of Vincent Tremblay

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> The Sharks want this more right now.

Signal to Noise

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @Yostal: Weren't we waiting to play St. Cloud State at the conclusion of that game? I remember being in the student radio studio for that one, filling time until that damn game ended.

notthequarterback

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @JB*: I remember that game because I was at this incredibly shitty party, but I wanted to make an appearance or was mediating a dispute between friends or some shit. The game was on, so I said to myself, "I'll leave when the game's over." Five fucking overtimes.

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @JB*: You know, I can't remember anything about that game except Primeau's goal and being dead fucking exhausted the next day, but I'm sure the suspense was comparable.

The Joy of Cesc

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @StevieY19: Ah, nevermind. Here we go...and a big save right away.

StevieY19

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @StevieY19: I thought they were still 15:00 for playoff overtime.

@JB*: No, that game was officially insane, you have it correct.

The only one I can remember like this is what I call the Rick DiPietro game, the BU/St. Lawrence 4OT game in the 2000 NCAA Tournament East Regional. 77 saves for the freshman, and they lost. It was insane.

Wow, nice save by Turco to get us going again.

Yostal

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> Wonder if vs is getting flooded with calls from PBR fans...

The Ford

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @The Joy of Cesc: Same thing with the Flyers-Pens in 2000. I remember it being a mind-blowing edge of the seat game, but I don't really remember if that was true, or just what have I convinced myself of now.

JB*

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @Yostal: I was under the impression that the intermissions were shorter between OTs. Did something change?

StevieY19

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> ok, I'm out. Lates.

StevePerryPsychOut

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @Natrone Means Business: Try being in the stands. The Igloo was a bundle of nerves today, and that was just the end of regulation.

It makes the goal celebration that much sweeter, though. Totally worth it.

The Legend of Vincent Tremblay

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @StevieY19: Agreed and then some. I want to go to bed, yet, for some reason, I can't do it when there's playoff hockey afoot.

Yostal

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @JB*: The only one I can think of is Brodeur-Hasek in game two or three of the first round of the 94 playoffs, but I was so young and can't remember any saves/action of the quality I've seen here.

The Joy of Cesc

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @44 in a Row: Do you want it to?

Natrone Means Business

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> Wow this is a head-standing contest, who will be the first to fail? Although the team who has scored first has lost the first 5 games so that would favor the Sharks. This is ridiculous, I am nervous even during the intermission.

Natrone Means Business

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> @The Joy of Cesc: Anaheim-Dallas in 2003? Trying to remember if that was really goalie domination or offense just wearing down.

JB*

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Cooley Blogs, Fred Davis Sleeps]]> I couldn't imagine having something on the line in this game other than a better time zone for the next series. I'd be going crazy.
