Can I have the link to what you read, please?

I have sports package one and it looks like it includes RDS/RDS HD. I hope I am reading it right.

Apparently RDS HD on Rogers is channel 508, right after the TSNs, and again on 617... But I'm not at home, so I can't comment on whether or not it actually works.

RDSHD is on chanel 508 and is on free preview until Oct 1st. As per the guide, the game will be on at 19:30.

It might be either/or for RDS depending on if your basic programming is in French. I've only had Bell a couple of years, but it changes a lot. I don't know what the hell I'm paying for anymore.

me either, I clicked on english packages and it shows RDS, so am hoping I have it when I get home tonight at 7.

RDS is something like 863 (HD) on Bell - I'm pretty sure you have to subscribe to it thought - through the french package.

you may have burst my bubble there, even though what you say makes complete sense

Also, prior to game time, Melnyk will be on the FAN 590 with Bob McCowan (sportsnet connected prime time sports) at 6:05 pm.

Sweet HD goodness.

Yee-haaah! I double checked before I go back to painting. PVR's set.

Are you sure it's just a free preview? I have the VIP package plus whatever pak get my wife TLC all those home reno shows. For example, I don't get TSN-HD or all the US Networks West-coast feeds. That's an extra $9/month. Maybe it's in that package.

Edit: can't wait to watch Cowan smash some Smurfs tonight.

Smurfs or Keebler Elves. I called them Smurfs because I could not remember someone else calling them Keebler Elves earlier.

works for me as long as he makes them go smush. A forward better score a goal tonight too, and I am going to say it will be Michalek that finally gets the ball rolling.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves now... I'd like to see the Sens' forwards start to gel, put the puck in the net and get a win.

Oh, man, we are in serious need of a pictyre of a Keebler Elf (or smurf) in a Habs jersey.

This is as close as I could find in my short search...



and I thought this looked daunting as well


of coarse this was when the big z was with ottawa and the little g was with the devils...but I've got to hand it to him, I'd probably be to scared standing up next to guys like Chara...

5'7? Ya, with a serious growth spurt.

Look at the difference in skate size
