Rimer drinking game has been in place for several years. Anyone able to resurrect it, post a copy? There have been several renditions, many featuring Davidge, as well.
FSOhio production is TERRIBLE! (All CBJ broadcast kvetching here)

Didn't know about that - here's one I found doing a Google search: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=607675
Think we could easily resurrect it for '14-'15. Rimer used a lot of "walks out" AND "walks in" - despite the fact that the guys are skating.
I don't find the example you give a Rimer-ism, actually. I think that can be a good way of describing breaking down a defense, for example. I think that's just a style thing.
It's when a really exciting play happens on the ice that doesn't get mentioned because of some other point he's making. Or, more often, when he gets things flat wrong (players, score, period, opponent, president, calendar year, his name...)
Oh, not really a Rimerism. More of a change from always saying "WALKS OUT!!"
He seemed to finally have figured out Nick Foligno from Marcus and Mike this year.
I think the '14-'15 drinking game will have to be almost entirely dependent on Rimer with Davidge going to the studio. I don't see Shelley providing too many opportunities to create new drinking rules.

Winging it
Surprised people are surprised by changes in the broadcast team. Happens all the time.
The guy who thinks Rimer is the worst obviously doesn't watch much CI.
My least favorite are the Canadian team broadcasters. Too chummy and homer.
FYI..."Walking the puck" is another term for stick handling as you skate.

I have had CI since the first year they offered it. Rimer is the worst. The only comparable is Colorado.
I'm not sure anyone was surprised. Shelley was really good on radio and in between the glass. Davidge wasn't a great color guy anyway.
It's just funny to hear Rimer go from "walking out" to "walking in" (and back). Don't hear those terms nearly as much on the national broadcasts.
And if we're going by that definition - and, btw, isn't there stick handling quite a bit when skating? - Rimer is using it incorrectly. He says "walks in" almost every time somebody skates towards the slot and "walks out" any time somebody skates away from the goal line or out from behind the net. At least that's what I noticed, and he seemed to go overkill in using those terms.
This comment is just stupid. Can the CBJ upgrade their broadcast team? Yes. Is Rimer the worst? Hell no. The Islanders sound like they have a fifth rate college station broadcasting their games. The Panthers, Red Wings, Capitals all have mediocre at best crews. In fact, I'd bet Rimer, despite his shortcomings is a top ten , top fifteen announcer. There are some seriously shi*ty broadcast crews out there. If you have Center Ice, you know what I'm talking about.

I've been a CI subscriber for 2 and a half years now (Since the lockout year was a half) and yes, Rimer is in the bottom 10 of announcers and there are far better broadcast teams.
He's a good guy tho.

Cheatin on CBJ w TBL
worse, is how much he hated to go...he loved it here and wanted to move his family here...
Ditto.
He's better than Doc on NBC too.
That guy wears me out with his crescendoing machine gun delivery.
Take a breath! We can sees it on the telly!

"that chick from Ohio"
Bobby Mac started out pretty decent and I was feeling optimistic, but he's started to really grate on me as time goes by. Mostly because of those badly done, transparently forced "quirky"
after-goal calls - holy freaking CRAP those are annoying.Jody, on the other hand, has been eleventy billion different kinds of awesome.
(And for the record, I like Doc. But I'm also the one who became a hockey fan strictly because of hearing George on the radio, so that's probably not all that revelatory.
)^I liked the couple of games with Doc by himself + Pierre (I can't believe I'm just "meh" about the guy. Don't love him, don't hate him) in between the benches. Pierre provided what he normally does plus Eddie O's commentary. All three felt a bit crunched since neither of the other two could get much in between Doc's nearly non-stop calls.

Hey all
Wanna be cordcutter here. Does anyone know if you can watch the BlueJackets via Apple TV or Chromecast? Or if the Center Ice plan includes devices?
Not sure if this the right thread for the question, please move if it fits better somewhere else.

Apple TV for sure. I'm not sure if the app will cast to Chromecast or not.
