Read a few of his posts, sounds fine to me. Which thread are you talking about?

3.25 X 3 for Peverly in Boston.

That's a pretty good hockey town too. I guess their ownership issues aren't sorted out yet?

This statement needs a bit of context. The Texas Rangers were playing in an ALCS game.

That certainly explains it. I forgot about baseball.

If you are with Rogers (or any provider with d/l caps) this cold be a very expensive proposition. My kid records and watches about 3 hours of hockey/sports content per day, and that's in the off-season. Add another 7 hours per week for a couple of Sens games and you're talking about 28 hours per week. I think that will blow my 60 GB download cap in 2-3 weeks.

Assuming that 2 hours = 700Mbs (average movie file), 28 hours would = about 9 or 10 Gigs. You'd be fine.

If it's not HD I don't want it.

I guess, but if I have the choice between paying 40.00 for seeing all the games (or the very lease the highlights using the awesome highlight feature on the PS3) or 400.00 to have HD access to the same games, yet I have to PVR all of them and then search through for highlights. This way for certain games I can see highlights (which amounts to about 50 MB max per game) and I don't have to PVR I can watch any game from any season in the last 10 years.

Done and done...HD can't touch that kind of access. Then again, it's about being a hockey fan not the quality of the broadcast. For that I watch regular cable for my viewing pleasure.

My only option right now is streamling most games from dubious sources on the "internet". That and rabbit ears for CBC games. I'm really impressed with the picture quality I get over the air.

No suspension for Methot. Seems a tad strange, given the hit.

He let up IMO. Good non suspension.

McGrattan claimed off waivers by Nashville (from Anaheim).

Krejci hurt in practice (leg) and didn't accompany team to Carolina. Not known if he'll rejoin the team in Chicago.

Coloiacovo on IR with "upper body".

Taylor Chorney (EDM) was also claimed off of waivers by St. Louis, and Eric Nystrom (MIN) is on re-entry waivers.

ok, I have a rough time wrapping my head around this one.
per TSN:
The Philadelphia Flyers have traded forward Stefan Legein and a sixth round pick in 2012 to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for future considerations

how do you trade a player AND a pick for future considerations? how does that work.

I literally had to go do a Google search on Legein because I thought he was still with CBJ.

Remember, too, that Legein is the guy who announced his retirement from hockey, mysteriously, and then came back. That probably did some damage to his professional rep.

Anyway, on the trade: might be a case of PHI having to shed a contract to get the organization back under 50. I'm guessing this is a consequence of the Betts debacle, with Betts's forced return to the organization forcing PHI to shed a contract elsewhere. Literally just a guess, tho', as I sit here getting ready for my 6pm lecture.

Enough with the suspension talk for the love of Alfie.

Correct as I understand it.
