I was watching the Boomer & Carton show on MSG this morning, which is kinda like Mike & Mike on ESPN, and Boomer was talking about how great the sport of Hockey is.

He was saying that unfortunately Hockey is not talked about enough on sports programs, and gets little coverage towards the end. He said there is nothing quite like being at an NHL game in person, especially in the PO's. This is not word for word, but is what I took from what he was trying to say.

He then made a bet with his co-host that the Rangers would have more shots on goal tomorrow night than Carmelo Anthony would have total points in tonight's game against the Celtics. He bet $100 on it, so I guess we will have to see who was right.

I agree, it is near impossible to find any talk about hockey in Northern California. TV, Radio or other media (sans the internet) the only time anyone talks hockey is if the Sharks are doing well in the playoffs (nothing durring the regular season) or the obilgatory 45 second clip on ESPN.

I have even started to search for online radio feeds of out of market teams to have on in the background at work. Unfortunately I can only listen to non Sharks homers for so long :) (and that Mark Madden or whatever the fuck his name is in Pittsburgh is just absolutely terrible).

I would love to find a hockey station that just talked general NHL.

I'm pretty sure that NHL.com streams NHL Live! during the day. At least they used to.

I found a station on there but it was only on for an hour a day so I gave it up. I also can only stream certain stations, others try to get me to download media players.

ESPN is driving me insane with the non stop NBA playoff talk so I may check NHL.com out again.

There are some great streams on HockeyBuzz. Eklund's insight is unmatched.

I was assuming she lost a bet.

Looks liek the Rags have to take at least 43 shots on goal tomorrow for Boomer to win the bet.

I don't think it's going to happen.

Boomer was at the Rangers-Caps game Sunday, so I'm pretty sure he's a legit fan. Rep for Boomer is right.
