On The Eve of the New Season: North of the Border Editio

Does anybody know when the price of Center Ice usually drops during a season?

Right after the All-Star Break, then again after right before the playoffs, but playoffs are included.

Sonick (and any other Canucks) - in case you're interested - the Canadian Embassy is having a get together before the Habs game on the 27th at the Elephant and Castle (12th and Penn, I believe). We'll be there.

Habs are on a roll!!

eh!

Thanks for the info. I actually just called Comcast, Half Season package starts January 8, it is $119 vs the full season price of $169. Would have expected a bigger drop than that. I really want to see the Blues-Preds game on the 6th, but its certainly not worth an extra $50.

Would love to see some retribution on Tootoo for these hits

Although the first one was probably clean.

I guess they dont allow direct links to the videos, but they are on this page http://hockeyfights.com/videos/

Sweet! Good find. A few years ago I waited until the last month and it was around $50 and playoffs were included. Don't think I can wait that long after watching the Ducks last week while back in The OC.

The Pittsburgh Penguins could play rent-free and be equal managing partners in the new Sprint Center if they move to Kansas City

my wife does not need to hear about this if the pens move to k.c.

Kansas City Penquins….has quite a ring to it.

I wonder if they'd have to wait for a Stanley Cup win before the Kansas city public came out in thier thousands wearing pens jerseys like the Pittsburgh lot!!

mark cuban, you are our only hope

the end of regulation in that Oilers Stars game was just crazy

Looks like Canada won another Gold Medal at Juniors

America got the Bronze, not too shabby!

I saw a replay of that US-Canada game that went to a shootout. Amazing game.

for those wanting to watch the entire gold medal game (and also highlights and partial replays of all the games) check out http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/ - lots of good quality streaming video

i'm wiping a tear right about now

Anybody else see this on HDNet on Saturday? You rarely see a guy in such a bad fighting position deliver such a knockout blow!

That is definitely in the blind squirrel finds a nut category for punches

speaking of hockey, now that I have been able to watch every game, I am pretty excited about the future of hockey in st. louis again, attendance has been picking up, and even though the recent 3 game loss streak probably ended any outside shot at the playoffs, at least they are doing some winning

if everything goes right and they unload their veterans at the deadline (Tkachuk, Guerin, Rucinsky) and resign Brewer, I think they will be a lot of fun to watch next year, top 5 defense of Brewer, McKee, Eric Johnson, Jackman, and Wideman brings a lot to the table, the key is to get some young forwards via the draft or in return for their veterans and sign a couple of free agents

they also have a stud goal prospect in Marek Schwarz at Peoria, so things are looking good

tonight, Boston University won the Beanpot Tournament. great college hockey game, based on the third period BC should have won but BU somehow pulled it out in OT. BU's goalie, John Curry, was simply stellar.

Go Ducks!!!

The rest of the TV schedule will be determined by who's still playing…

fuck yes, that's great

though i am a Boston fan first, i do like to see the Canadian teams do well….something that did NOT happen this week.

we only got 3 in so i'll be pulling for Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver.

but i'll just hope that Vancouver and Buffalo dont end up in the finals like it looks to be the case. cause that would be real boring like.

I'm assuming your commenting on every Penguins game being on National Television…(while ignoring the fact that not a single Ducks game is being broadcast)

I'm doing a survey, BTW. Does you cable provider offer Versus in HD?

ducks dont have the transplants or star power that the pens have. but yeah, guess that's a total bummer for you

i do not believe we have versus in hd (i dont have an hd set, yet)

I have versus in HD, its split with the golf channel in hd

and how is Buffalo boring? their fans may suck but the hockey isnt boring, Vancouver certainly is though

Go Blues! (ahem)
