Robert Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Phaneuf threw a perfectly clean gorgeous bodycheck tonight and got a penalty for a headshot. It's embarassing the way the game is being called these days. Also embarassing? The Leafs. And the Oilers now it seems. But the crowd seems to be ?mockingly? cheering Bryz who just got in so let's see what happens next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Is it bad I really have nothing to add about the Blues? At this point they are playing really strong hockey and doing exactly what I expected them to do, outside of the 1st line scoring blitz. I will, however, say that the Bouwmeester trade was an absolute theft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Oilers vs. Blackhawks has gone exactly as you likely imagine it has. The Space Lord is in net in relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 48s Official announcement expected Tuesday by NHL: CBC and Rogers have exclusive English-language NHL rights deal.

elizium Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Well, motherfuck. TSN completely losing the NHL is not what I expected to happen. Ray Ferraro better be picked up by either CBC or Sportsnet. Honestly, Duthie too. I assume McKenzie stays with TSN, as he is way too important to their World Juniors coverage to lose.

elizium Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 What does that leave the rights as? TSN: CFL, World Juniors, Sunday and Monday NFL and anything ESPN does, some Raptors, curling Sportnet: NHL, Thursday NFL, Sunday afternoon NFL, all Blue Jays and MLB playoffs, CHL Is the Olympics going to be a joint broadcast by them again?

elizium Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Sportnet is going to start broadcasting the Fox Sports high light show too, right? That'd mean they have Jay and Dan too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Wow. There is nothing left on TSN I will actually watch and yet I much prefer SportsCenter over Connected but perhaps that'll change if they cut back on NHL coverage with no actual NHL games on the channel. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsnet has CHL until 2014. One guy I was reading suggested TSN might go after the CHL, and with the way they've built up the WJHCs, turn it into a sort-of Canadian equivalent of the NCAA in the US. That would be pretty awesome. BTW, Adrian Dater summed up the whole TSN losing the NHL thing quite well: "I think it says it all that the big scoop about TSN losing its NHL rights to a rival was broken by @TSNBobMcKenzie" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I love hockey fansSo Bob McKenzie tweets this Well, that was an interesting, 4+ hour drive home from Sudbury tonite. Could've done it quicker but had to pull over to tweet some news. And if you expand it you get the following quotes"@TSNBobMcKenzie and the news broke many of hearts! #SayItAintSo""@TSNBobMcKenzie So what happens with hockey on TSN ?? Don't get why CBC has the rights when they only have 1 channel.""@TSNBobMcKenzie is the panel still going to exist? This is crazy news" "@TSNBobMcKenzie not the greatest of news for the TSN family" and, of course, someone who didn't get the memo/doesn't care"@TSNBobMcKenzie how did Horvat look?" Somehow, that is the greatest summary of hockey fans, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterCopperpot Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Is the Olympics going to be a joint broadcast by them again? CBC have the rights to Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016 - Sportsnet will be assisting in the coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Martin Erat has demanded the Caps trade him. The Caps have said they will try. Good thing the Caps only gave up their #2 best prospect for him I will just be over here giggling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Man, Luongo may finish the season at a sub .900 SV% at this rate. Canucks are consistently outshooting their opponents but can't buy a win. God, I hope TSN losing its NHL rights means Cuthbert replaces that shithouse Lee for the West coast games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 So, a couple things about the new TV deal -Rogers RUNS HNIC. CBC gets to broadcast it for the next four years. Rogers chooses everything else: editorial content, on-air personnel. etc. -I thought this would mean the end of Don Cherry (Big corporation looking to distance itself from xenophobic old man actually referred to BY NAME in concussion lawsuit) but some Rogers guy apparently said they would get Cherry onto every Rogers channel they could. -More/expanded Saturday night coverage. Instead of being stuck with JUST the Leafs-Habs game at 7:00/4:00 on Saturday nights, Canadian fans will now get a game on CBC, a game on Sportsnet, and a game on Sportsnet 360. -Bob McKenzie says TSN will still strive to cover the NHL better than anyone else, they just won't be showing NHL games. -All the extra money likely means a bump by $1-2 million for next year's salary cap.

Dewar Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Don't think Cuthbert leaves TSN, as he's their lead CFL guy. If Rogers has say over talent for HNIC, perhaps Mark Lee will be gone, but he will probably be replaced by Peter Loubardias. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 At this rate TSN2 will be showing rodeo, darts and truck pulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 At this rate TSN2 will be showing rodeo, darts and truck pulls. They'll probably just show repeat CFL telecasts during the week, seeing as their CFL games have higher ratings than the broadcasted NHL games.

TSN gets a Sunday afternoon NFL game as well. Add NASCAR and Formula 1 racing to TSN's list, INDYCAR to Sportsnet, and EPL Soccer/MLS for both.

Even if you are offended by Don (I'm not), you SHOULD be offended by people who want to fire him for disagreeing with them. I'm offended by Larry Brooks in the NY Post whining about how much he hates fighting and taking cheap shots at the Sabres and Flyers every chance he gets, but you don't hear me saying he should be fired.
