its fair I think. have to give them a chance to rest for the big dance. canucks will have 7 days off which is really nice. I dont think it matters at this point for rest over playing to keep sharp. its the finals so they will be ready. and kesler can rest his body. he will need it if its against boston or tampa.

its going to be one helluva ride

Glad as hell there are no weekend afternoon games.

Get to do a little yardwork to keep wife happy,and slam down some beer with the boys and enjoy the game at night.

I,m going with CBC broadcast.It might just be me,but they have by far and away the best camera angles.

I think Bergy needs it. Everyone else seems fine. Aside from just needed rest, were pretty healthy. TT could prolly use a little breather as well. He is a little too hot and cold right now. He knows how to answer his call though, I have complete faith in gim tomorrow night.

I dont like the early games. Im just glad they are all one time from game 1 to game 7.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

CBC has the best stuff because they don't mess around like so many of the local channels do. I was reading a thing from the guy in charge at ROOT talking about the idiotic angles that they use during Pens broadcasts, and he said that they do it because this city and the fan-base are "tech-savvy" and understand and want new ways to look at it. The dummy even said that missing important things are okay (like when he missed a friggin' GOAL this post-season) because they're branching out and looking at the sport in new angles. IDIOTIC. Said some crap about Pittsburgh not being a traditional CBC market. What?! I think most hockey fans like the traditional idea of one angle, I see everything during play, then during replays and breaks you can go all gungho with your ridiculous and unnecessary angles.

i will never understand why they do these 2 day breaks between games 1-2 and not between game 2-3

Pobably some combo of TV ratings and arena availability.

you can't possibly bump a Bruno Mars concert


/but you can make Supertramp reschedule lol

 

[rares]

5PM PST time for the non-weekend games played in Vancouver is 100% fail. WTF?!

They don't want West coast people to watch much of this series, or what?

at this point ... you want the most eyes watching the game ... it hurts us on the west coast ... neccessary evil imo

its toughest for those actually going to the game (ie with 9 to 5 jobs)

 

[rares]

Yeah, going to the game... or really, just those of us who have full time jobs (9-5 as you call it.... but it's really 9-6... and then 1 hour in traffic to get home... so I'll get home in time to watch the 3rd period? Fucking bullshit is what that is... but anyway).

UFC loses a day, too (*if necessary), though presumably that's just the weigh ins and stuff

So he'd catch a gernade for ya... but he will not move his show for ya.

It's not the Crime of the Century, but they should say Goodbye Stranger to Bruno Mars...
