Originally posted by SLKRRI like it fine on TV, but it's definitely much, much more exciting live. I think that after you watch a few games live, you can appreciate it more on TV.
I've been to Japan and seen the NHL (with funny subtitles) and I've seen it on the tube in Oz, but how about B-R-A-S-I-L?

Homer and Marge prepare to retire for the evening.
Homer: ...so they say I might have a problem.
[finishes brushing his teeth, and polishes off a bottle of Duff]
Marge: [reading from a pamphlet entitled, "Is Your Spouse a Souse?"]
Homey, do you ever drink alone?
Homer: Does the Lord count as a person?
Marge: No.
Homer: Then yes.
Marge: Do you need a beer to fall asleep?
Homer: Thank you, that'd be nice.
Marge: Do you ever hide beer around the house?
Homer: Do I ever!
[fetches a beer from its hiding place in the toilet tank, and
takes a swig] Ahhhh.
Marge: Do you ever drink to escape from reality.
Homer: [looks in the mirror and imagines himself as a big muscular guy]
[to "Can-Can"] Duhh, duh duh duh duh duuh duuh, duh duh duh duh
duuh duuh, duh duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh...
Marge: Homey, I'd like you to do something for me.
Homer: You name it.
Marge: I want you to give up beer for a month.
Homer: You got it. No deer for a month.
Marge: Did you say beer, or deer?
Homer: .... Deer.
Marge: Please, Homey, I know you can do this.
Homer: All right, starting tomorrow no beer for a month.
[puts the light out. We can hear the sound of a can popping
open]
Marge: What was that noise?
Homer: I was saying, "Psssst, I love you."
After several days of being sober, Homer tries to take his mind off his troubles at the ball park, where he is the only person in the stands not drinking.
Announcer: ...the windup and a 2-2 pitch. Oh, no, wait a minute, the
batter is calling for time. Looks like he's going to get
himself a new bat. And now there's a beach ball on the
field, and the balls boys are discussing which one of them's
going to go get it.
Homer: I never realized how boring this game is.

This year, I don't actually know. From what I've read, ESPN dropped their contract and the NHL went to some podunk network in the US, but since I no longer have cable or satellite TV, I don't know if there is any channel here that carries the games. I am definitely jonesing for some good hockey, that's for sure, especially now that racing is in the offseason (except for one more CC race)."Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose." --- Ayrton Senna

Originally posted by SLKRRIn 2003 and '04, they showed games on ESPN International and ESPN Brasil, usually 1 or sometimes 2 games per week. During the playoffs, they showed more games, and the entire finals. Last season, however, there weren't any games at all... can't figure out why...

I'm not sure which network shows the NHL in America other than Fox, but I've noticed that Barry Melrose is still on the ESPN payroll. Still has his mullett too.

Originally posted by Kurt CobainThanks! FWIW Fox Sports Midwest shows my Blues on the tube about two to three times a week. I'll be seeing them in the flesh in December and might even drive down to Nashville for a game (I hear the tix are cheap and that's for a great seat).I went to a Wings game in Chicago once, too - I think that was scarier.

I'll be at the Saavis Center in December to see either the Rangers or Flyers. Both games are on a Saturday night, and since it's only a four hour drive from Indy, I might try and make both games--depending on my finances that month and Christmas.
My son wants an iPod. Do you know how much those things are?I'd rather get him a portable CD player and about 10 CDs.
Haven't seen Pang in a while.
