Mmmm, hockey

[sal_amanda]

i'm so glad that hockey will be back. i didn't realize how much i'd miss it, even if the majority of this country didn't even notice or care. one more reason why i'm more canadian than american, i guess.

anyway. i wonder about the cost of this lockout. downtown businesses have a hard enough time in buffalo without losing a whole year of reasons for people to be down there spending money. and the Empire Sports Network has sadly disappeared. so now that hockey is back, who will be playing my sabres games on tv? well, i may be watching a lot more of the candian teams this coming season, which is fine with me. i loves me my leafs, and what i've truly missed is Don Cherry on Hockey Night in Canada with all his crazy suits.

I would move back to WNY if only for Hockey Night in Canada...
I really don't know who will be showing hockey... NBC has signed on for like 14 games total (half of which being post-season), ESPN backed out of their deal... Spike TV is in negotiations... which might not be the worst thing ever... but could be...

ah, i hadn't heard that about Spike. could be okay. they should get the asian dubbed commentators from MXC.

they do have good voices
I think if they get it, they should let me commentate, with a five second swear delay of course

holy mother of BLEEP did you see that shot? did you see that BLEEPing shot?

the key to hockey commentation is to be really, really, really excited about the most minute details.
