GDT: OPENING DAY!!! - Final: Hawks 5 - Kings 2 - 1/19/13

[IU Hawks fan]

Son of a #@*&!!!!, I'm stuck with the Pens Flyers game. You'd think the game would be available on TV with Center Ice. Anyhow lets go Hawks!

if you have centre ice the game is being shown on one of the channels.

Not in the US, it wouldn't be.

I don't care what you have, you're not in the US so it's completely different.

NBC has exclusive rights to the time slot. If you want to see the other game, you have to watch it at nbcsports.com here.

I just went through my channel menu and only the Jets game is on Center Ice here.

sup guys, been a while.

I'm thinking this is going to be high scoring. 5-4 hawks. kane (2), bolland, hossa, shaw.

toews is okay to play.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Saad = Healthy Scratch apparantly

Why even bother having kid up if you aren't playing him? Makes no sense

It's okay for a game or two as it can give a rookie a different perspective but no more than that or you're right, why bother. He can get quality minutes in RFD. It is typical Q to do that though. Generally speaking I just don't like the way he treats newcomers trying to get into a groove .... kills confidence. Their are exceptions, like Shaw who got great minutes as a rookie.

Relieved to hear Toews is playing.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Saad may have flu (Unknown right now)

Kruger already ruining the season

 

[Cullksinikers]

If Saad is out, in the points for predictions thread, I believe I should be able to change my picks.

I didn't make the rules but I presume you can edit before the puck drops.

 

[DayNah]

So stoked for this!

Hoping Toews is ready come game time.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

I just realized in a matter of hours I'll be seeing Blackhawks hockey on national television in high definition, now I know how Martini feels. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah

Really? Well that blows, that's how I was planning on watching them. Will still be able to watch on the computer, but obviously would prefer them on the TV and the Pens/Flyers on the computer.... lame.

Thank...*******...GOD.

No joke. What ******* BS is THAT? So...I live in Philly...and because NBC is broadcasting the Flyers/Pens...I won't get to see the Hawks because NBC is broadcasting the game in some other part of the country? WTF am I paying for Center Ice for???

I don't see why not as long as it's before puck drop.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Gonna be nice to see hockey again

Dont forget everyone there is free preview of CI as well on most cable providers

Indeed. Too bad none of the 3 PM EST games, minus the Jets-Sens...are available.

Yeah, it blows. MLB on FOX works just like that as well. Can only watch the game they're playing in your market.

At least NBC is giving the opportunity to watch it online. FOX does not do that.

 

[DayNah]

Alright heading to the sports bar. Let's do this!

HAWKS=3-2

They blow a 2 goal lead and win in OT.

 

[RedBaronIndian]

Lets go Hawks

Well, NBC is at least streaming it for free.

 

[Martini*]

Good to see Saad was scratched. He didnt deserve his call up and is lucky he is even up at this time. Should have stayed in the Rock and gotten quality minutes. Good move by Q.

Hopefully Q wakes up from his fantasy of having Bolland on the second line, also.

 

[RayP]

So, um, apparently NBC where I live is airing college basketball instead of either of the games... Does that mean they won't be blacked out on Center Ice for me?

 

[Retail1LO*]

Well, NBC is at least streaming it for free.

I'm lazy as ****. Link? lol
