MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 You don't have access to every game as some games are just not televised. This is my 4th year with CI and this is the 2nd time this has happenned.I was actually quoting from this, and thinking there a few games every year that have no television.I seem to recall even a couple of Calgary games in the past with no tv.Not a big deal, just what i thought i remembered.Zach's got a point, hard to believe this day and age still games with NO coverage from either team/city.

runthemover 39 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 the sharks and fsn finally got something right this year. whenever it wasn't televised locally we were blacked out of the other team's feed. last night's game wasn't blacked out so we were able to watch the rsn feed Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 that makes no sense...Tell me about it. If Montreal is playing in Toronto and the game is not on TSN, CBC or Sportsnet I have to watch it on RDS. The game gets blacked out on my Centre Ice package. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess they want me to pay extra for Leafs TV. Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'm watching the florida/philly game, and the camera work is just atrocious. It looks like it's being filmed by Kramer in a movie theatre..... Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like it's being filmed by Kramer in a movie theatre.....LOL some of the local broadcasts camera work always cracks me up. I recall during a Ducks/Dallas game last season the Stars broadcast was on Center Ice and for the full 2 minutes of the Ducks PP they thought it wise to use the overhead goal camera the entire time. Seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Sigh, Toronto-Pittsburgh is blacked out on Centre Ice tonight.Luckily (maybe), I'm on a free preview of the digital cable channels, including Leafs Network. Yay Joe Bowen.I really want to get the damn Pens feed on these games already. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Is there any reason why I can't find the Pittsburgh-Montreal game on Centre Ice tonight?Any help? Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Is there any reason why I can't find the Pittsburgh-Montreal game on Centre Ice tonight?Any help?Maybe because it's on CBC or RDS. Who knows? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Maybe because it's on CBC or RDS. Who knows?But it's not on CBC... the Leaf game is.My french CBC doesn't show hockey for whatever reason.This shit is tilting me.Pay $250 to watch the ****ing Penguins games, and so far two of three haven't even been on Centre Ice.Sigh, I found it on RDS, of which I have a free preview since I just signed up for digital cable.It's not retarded at all that I have to watch it in French instead of them just playing it on Centre Ice...

Fenxis 99 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Even if was on Centre Ice it would probably be in french anyways... that's how it works. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Why would they not show the Pens feed?So silly.But I'm happier now that I discovered that RDS was channel 905 on my digital cable... which is weird cuz regular channels are 2-60.Also, I took French Immersion through high school, so I'm sure I'll be able to follow the play.
