2012-2013 General NHL Hockey Thread - Page 6 - The Orange Mane

TSN season preview show say they see a Kings/Pittsburgh Finals with the Pens winning. However, it was the consensus but a couple of the panelists expect the Kings to repeat.

Who was the genius who scheduled the LA/CHI game at the same time and channel as PIT/PHI....I'm sure I will get the Kings game. I have Center Ice but they won't play a game that is on NBC. So how the **** can I watch the game now?

Catch a last minute flight and tix to the game.

That is the Avs fault...they gotta quit being cheap. Dude is their leader. He runs stairs after games, time to pay up.

i was on his side before it was reported he turned down 5 years and 17 mil and wants closer to 5 mil a year on a new deal.
that **** ain't gonna happen when you're a RFA and you you only have 1 season over 30 pts.
you can't demand more than Duchene when he has 2 good seasons to your 1.

They would have showed them early, at 9am our time but tradition is that the Cup winner kicks off the season.

You could probably watch the game via first row sports.

B's pre-game pub crawl starts at 1:00PM tomorrow. Game at 7.

Things could get ugly.

I'd love to see this.....but I dont know if they can do it with the defense. Pittsburgh's defense should be among the league's very best....in a year or two considering we have probably the deepest group of high level defenseman prospects in the league, but none of them are really ready yet, so the 2013 unit will likely continue to struggle. Despres will play this year....likely on the third pairing, but guys like Morrow, Harrington, Dumoulin etc will require another year of seasoning before hitting the big leagues.

I do expect Robert Bortuzzo to surprise this year though. Not sure if the rest of the veteran group can be relied on for a Cup run.

Yeah luckily I went to their event at my school (UNH) before they banned them haha. That was way back in like '09.

RedskinBronco · 01-19-2013, 09:31 AM

It's funny to me that all the experts expect crosby to stay healthy and the pens obliterate everyone but yet they raise past injury/concussion issues for reasons why all other teams won't win.

I mean I get it; crosby = canada's golden child; but no one is as big homers as canada is when it comes to hockey.

Pens don't win anything without Malkin. He is the key IMO.

Baba Booey · 01-19-2013, 10:07 AM

I read a stat the other day that said in his last ~79 games (NHL or KHL), Malkin has like 133 points.

SoCalBronco · 01-19-2013, 12:42 PM

I'm really ****ing angry I can't watch this game. WTF is the point of Center Ice if they won't show the ****ing game? This is ****ing ridiculous

PIT 3 PHI 1

Was able to watch the last two periods on the NBC Sports Live app on my IPad. I don't think we played particularly well but it is always good to get a win on the road in the division especially against a rival. Sutter Flower and Neal are my 3 stars. Sutter looks like a good replacement for Staal.

Well at least you got the third period, man that **** pisses me off.

Oh well, at least they did it because the 'Hawks were up by three.

Great start to the season, knocking off the defending champs.

I gotta start watching games like that, cuz i swear, this team takes the first period off more than this years broncos, its brutal, there was a stretch last year of like 11 games in a row where the other team scored first.

right back at it tommorrow, in buffalo, may actually go to the game, buddy of mine has an extra ticket, Im on call tho so if i cant get coverage it aint gonna happen. Son is kind of upset that he doesnt have 2 extras, so i may just skip it and wait till the april game so i can take the whole family.

Yea, GameCenter wouldnt work for most the day either. Supposedly it was because there was a free trial and they had way more people than they expected. Either way I think its complete bu11sh1t to screw over us who paid. Once it started working though I was able to watch like 6 games today.

Aftermath · 01-19-2013, 08:53 PM

Oops. I just noticed you were probably talking about the blackout. Yes, that is stupid as well. Flyers have like 20 games this year that I wont be able to watch on Gamecenter because they will be on NHLN or NBC or NBCS. I work nights and dont have a TV so I bought gamecenter so I could watch the Flyers on my phone at work, and for those nights Im screwed. effing stupid.

maher_tyler · 01-19-2013, 09:29 PM

Ugh...same ole Avs. As I watch former Avs players lighting up score sheets across the league. Wtf does the Avs organization see in Sucko

Its clearly the coaching yet they signed him to an extension...if we some how make the playoffs i'll be shocked!

Chris Stewart 2 goals
Shattenkirk 2 assists
Fleischmann 1 assist
Mueller 1 assist
Wolski 1 goal 1 assist
Winnik 2 goals
Anderson 1 ga 96.4 save%
