What did they say the reason was for not gettign a suspension? They talked about it last night, but I only caught the last few seconds of it and not the meat of the conversation.

Basically, Campbell says that Ward and Walker were involved in an altercation and this was the result. He said it wasn't something where Walker was sending a message or a cheapshot. I don't know what game he was watching. The game was already won for the most part and Ward was tied up with another player when Walker came over and sucker-punched him. It's just total bull.

Wow - that was some Canucks game last night. I live downtown and we muted the game and just kept score by the cheers or boos that rocked the block!

Sucks that they are out and Luongo took it really hard. I think it's too much to ask a goalie to be the Captain.

I think it's stupid having a goalie as captain! (Might spark a row now but...

) I think RoLu is overated anyway...

Don't imagine he'll be over-rated after last night.

7th game will be a thriller!

There is going to be a game 7 for Boston!

Post by **joehelmer** » Wed May 13, 2009 1:25 pm

Wow, 3 out of 4 conference semi finals goes to 7 games!

Too bad that I'm not able to watch them.

You don't get Versus in Sweden?

Or is it that the games are so late?

Post by **Tasku** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:57 pm

Canal+ shows NHL games in Finland and Sweden: almost a game per day. But for that you need to pay up.

I prefer the internet.

They're so late and I study at the university so it's not a good combo.

Neidermeyer sure is tough throwing punches with his visor on.

I'm just glad I was able to watch the Ducks game last night, even though the hosts kept thanking people all night long. Which I found really annoying, talk about the game and the players not some sound guy.

Three game 7s though, that is prett damned sweet. My only issue is that the Ducks/Detroit game is on just before the Calrolina/Boston game, so I won't be able to watch the whole of both games.

Both games are gonna be good too!

You would feel differently if you were the sound guy.

Tough game from Bobby Luo but I'm over it now. I just hope we can re-sign the Sedins this summer because they actually played not too bad. However, 6.5 million for each of them will kill the 'Nucks cap space.

Heh, maybe, (I doubt it though) but thats what credits are for. Its a nice gesture, but completely annoying for those just wanting to watch a hockey game, specially a playoff game.

Painful watching the Caps-Pens games tonight. Caps didn't play bad until they gave up 2 goals in 8 seconds in the 1st. They've pretty much phoned it in since. Those goals seemed to rattle Varlamov and he let in two more softies before being yanked. Maybe we'll see a rematch of last year's Cup Final, Wings-Pens!!

I'll be at Joe Lewis Arena for game 7 tomorrow night!!! LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!!

jbsnadb · Post by **jbsnadb** » Thu May 14, 2009 2:27 am

Unfortunately for sound guys, there really are no such thing as credits anymore. They're run in fast motion at the bottom of the screen while some other form of programming dominates the screen.

It's worse in sports where, unless the game is a blowout, there's nary a mention of the dozens of folks it takes to put on a live television broadcast.

Sorry for going off-topic, but I used to be the guy who designed everything for a radio station that played when the music wasn't.

Ok, now that the Caps is out I'm rooting for the Hawks.

It would be good to see them win after so many dry years.

I definately don't want the Canes or the Pens to win it. I think they should both knock each other out on the Conference Finals. Not sure if this is possible by the rules, but it should darn well be!

Woo hoo 6-2 Go Pens! Still don't think we will win it

Yau, go NHL teams named after animals! There's still a chance for the first-ever animal-only Stanley Cup finals, although I think it's fairly remote (I don't have much faith in the Ducks).

tasku where on the internet do you watch them? i've used some lousy hosts, but they all kinda sucks. and hockey isnt yet a big sport in norway, so they dont really send that many matches on tv.
