I almost recorded the Punjabi Canucks broadcast once...

Anyway, why have all those regional restrictions and blackouts, hope it isn't the same in the states or you can see why hockey isn't catching on.

Sportsnet is just terrible for the most part, they must really be having $ issues or something because they got rid of just about everyone from out here with any 'seniority' and I am guessing they got the cheap, inexperienced, zero insight youth to hold the mics and say silly/trendy things.

Cybalski is unbearable with the girl he is always on there with. Can't believe they have a morning show or something, I guess I shouldn't comment on something I haven't watched, but I found them unwatchable in the evenings and can't imagine the target demographic if they have a morning show.

The quality is not good, and finding the Canucks game can be a little like finding a needle in a haystack, and I've seen the Pre and post game "show", the one with awkward people asking the players awkward questions (what's on your bucket list - Kassian wants a house on a lake, with a boat, Hamhuis wants to save the world one third world country at a time, etc), but god damn, is the amount of hockey on ever nice. Not only do I not have to watch the Leafs on Saturday, but I have as many as five games to choose from. For that alone I can forgive the bad.

I barely noticed.......that.

just playin bud. Nice to have another voice on these boards. Enjoy the madness.

Way, way, waayy off topic, what ever the topic happens to be, but,
I just wanted to show the page, and folks on it some love, and tell you how much I appreciate the dialogue here.
Must be different, growing up in a culture that celebrates hockey, and talks about it at the barbershop, grocery store, liquor store, dinner table, etc. An entire city of hockey fans, wow.

I used to live in Seattle, which is where I picked up my affinity, but now, well, back home to Tucson. I do travel for work a great deal, so I do check out a lot of other barns.
But,
I know exactly 3 hockey fans here: one likes the Redwings, one likes the Jackets, the other- the Hawks. The room for dialogue of people that KNOW hockey is exactly four. There is a men's rec league here, but they play hockey...they don't follow it, at all really. Not a lot of room for conversation & passion there. People often ask me what the giant Orca on the back of my truck means, and what the stick/rink tattooed on my ring finger means. I am flying the flag for sure, a real population of one. Doin' it proud though.

Anyway: Thundachunk, Steaming Lombardi, Carol, Cuban Buffet, Bezz44, Nucker101, Boonerbuck, Zogg,, Petrosexual...and the rest. Thanks. I learn a lot from you guys/gals, and this gives me something to do in this hockey desert.

Speaking of, I saw them two weeks ago in Tampa. Took my dad to his 1st game..(maybe his last) -he's a football guy. He loved it, but......sh*t got awkward.

Dad: "Hey, look! That man is black!"

Me: "Yes, dad. Sit down. Stop pointing. That is PK Subban, dad". (hand covering face)

Dad: "The black man can skate! Look at those legs! Look at him go!"

Me: (whispering) 'Dad, stop pointing, it's rude. SIT DOWN.'

French Canadiens sitting near us: '!!!?????'

I was dying, folks. Dying.

I was driving to the grand canyon from New Mexico and stopped off in some place just south of Flagstaff, Prescott I think, to get In and Out Burger.

Have to say Vancity has the Canucks and hockey fans but y'all have the burgers...

And the sonoran hotdog!: Hotdog, wrapped in bacon, covered in beans, jalepenos, mayonnaise, salsa, in some sort of baked spanish botillo roll. Each roadside cart has it's own cult following.

It's a shame that a .500 record in the Pacific Division gets you last place.

I think he's cleared to play. I over heard it in a haze of smoke from jazz cigarettes.
