No Big Buff? He'll be there next game for sure. Not sure if he'll be on the first pairing though.. Or even on defense...

Scratched or injured?

 

[kary]

Haha i love how the cameraman had to raise the camera when focusing on chara.

 

[Kane One]

ESPN has done nothing but disrespect and ignore the game of hockey as much as possible during the last 12 years. I wish the games were on another network.

Being on ESPN, hockey will now get more publicity than any other network could offer.

 

[Pandaman11]

"Please stand if you're able to", I like that

 

[hockeykicker]

omg i have missed that espn hockey intro music

 

[larmex99]

Scratched or injured?

Apparently Torts thought there wasn't a good fit for him. Whatever that means. Not sure.

 

[kducks]

They can't even get a singer?

 

[Avder]

Never watched on ESPN what do they do that makes it so bad?

They pretty much pretend it doesn't exist except for the NCAA mens hockey tournament, which they shove onto their more obscure channels.

 

[hockeykicker]

They can't even get a singer?

they will sing usa and not sing team europe?

 

[SladeWilson23]

Apparently Torts thought there wasn't a good fit for him. Whatever that means. Not sure.

I just hope it's strictly a hockey decision.

 

[Wanderson]

Scratched or injured?

Scratched.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

ive never rooted against usa more than i am this WC. i ****ing hate how it was constructed and about 75% of the players they took. hope they don't make it out of group 1

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I still don't know why they didn't do Ode to Joy for the European team. That's the anthem of the EU, after all....

oh well, hockey's on.

 

[gwh]

Team Leftovers with their nosdescript messy flag.

This crap makes me sad. Just cut every international aspect of the protocol for the joke teams.

 

[YoungSinatra]

U s a!

Because Swiss and Norway are out of EU.

 

[kary]

Meh i hoped team europe would come up with an anthem, since they made up a flag too... Though i suppose it would also be fun if they just played all 8 anthems

 

[Avder]

I wish they would have had Buccigross do color instead of Melrose. I hate Melrose.

 

[Pandaman11]

Scratched.

Tortorella doesn't stop amazing me.

 

[SladeWilson23]

The boards have CGI ads?

 

[melinko]

Score overlay looks nice on ESPN.

Would be better if they didn't have the World Cup of Hockey logo though.

 

[Kane One]

These board advertisements are weird.

 

[howkie]

Lol Jack Johnson.....

Btw, is everyone cool with Quick in the net? I thought Schneier is better....

 

[juiceman]

These board advertisements are weird.

The board ads appear to be for TV only. If you notice when they show a replay, it shows the regular ads on the boards.

 

[Avder]

So, what do the boards actually look like in person?
