GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ Florida Panthers - 7:30pm Oct. 30th, 2008

Sens finally broke their 4-game losing streak in Buffalo with a convincing 60-minute effort. Let's keep the momentum going in Florida tonight. Auld gets the start, Gerber will dress as backup and Alfie is on the verge of signing a 4-year extension with the Sens.

GO SENS GO!!!

NOTE: Tonight's game is only on the NHL Network in Canada.

I don't know if the offer is still valid but, thanks to Smash88 I believe, he told me that Rogers was offering Theme Packs free for the first 3 months so, order the sports theme pack with NHL Network and then cancel before the 3 months are up and you'll get this game on TV. That is of course if you have Rogers and you have digital cable. I did it before the last game and got to watch Ottawa cream Buffalo :D and I'll get this game as well.

Yeah supposedly this deal is good for the month of October... So two more days...

That's excellent. Hey Taters, Thanks for that info dude. I didn't have to go out to watch the game :D

Assuming my little guy cooperates, I'll be plunking my arse down downstairs and cheering the boys on... Keep the momentum and show us fans how to pay back Florida for embarassing you on YOUR TURF!!

C'mon Auld... I feel the S word for tonight!!

Gerber sitting, Alfie becoming a Sen for life, and our guys are coming off a win!! What could be better!!

GO SENS GOOOOOOOOO!!! (ok, so maybe getting the XL at Tim's this morning was overkill...)

No good for me. I have Bell Expressvu. I wanted to get the NHL network but the package it came in sucked donkey balls. The one I ended up with has the NFL network which sucks because I couldn't care less about the NFL. Anyone here know how much it is to order JUST the NHL network through Expressvu?

Boo! Not even crappy SD on A-Channel? I refuse to pay Rogers any more money than I already do (and, yes, they get a cut for ever CI or NHLN subscriber). I don't even have TSN-HD so I have to make do with CBC-HD, SNET-HD, TSN-HD* and the odd US-network telecast.

Good thing Team 1200 is still free.

*Edit: The second TSN-HD up there should have been TSN-SD.

Interesting. I don't like playing those types of games (it's kinda like a bait-and-switch but in the reverse direction) but I'm intrigued nonetheless.

I dunno, does it count when you don't actually say it? The mer thought of it might have tipped Karma the other way. If they score with 2 seconds to go I blame it on you. *YOU* get the minus one in that case.

The pragman has confused me.

Also, Team 1200 is a good thing.

I don't like doing it at all either, but it worked last time.. and if it's the only way i'll get to watch them, then really I have no other choice... But I agree it is very lame that we have to go through this whole process in the first place...

Yeah I really don't know with Expressvu... Can you order channels by themselves? I know with Rogers you can order any channel by itself for $2.95 I think...

That should have been TSN-SD.

I was saying "boo" that it's *only* on NHLN. That's two games in a row that I cannot watch. I already pay Rogers $85 plus change every month (mind you, that includes internet and HD) but I refuse to pay more. For instance, does it make sense that I pay for HD, and I pay for time-shifting, and I pay for US Networks, but time-shifted US Networks in HD is extra? For $8.95 more per month I would get the time-shifter US networks (HD) and TSN-HD, plus a bunch of stuff I'd have near-zero use for.
