Lurker Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yeah I don't get why they took a day off. WTF is with the scheduling? Capitals-Penguins played Games 5 and 6 back to back, and they had to travel from Washington to Pittsburgh. Now Hurricanes-Penguins get a 2 day break with no travel involved. Sorry, but this crap makes no sense. They should've played last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can blame Yanni for the back to back games. NBC wanted the Wings-Hawks on two consecutive Sundays or something like that. Doesn't look like that's going to happen now.

faba Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Carolina will win at least one at home I think maybe both -do not think this is a short series yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 If Cam Ward's defense in front of him continues to be swiss cheese, it's going to be a short one. Funny how great the goalies were with decent defense in game one. Defense disappears in game 2 and goalies look pedestrian. Maybe Carolina wins tonight. If they don't it's over. Glad to see Cole recovered so quickly. And the guy from Carolina should have suspended for the intent to injure at the end of the game. No matter. Satan will dole out punishment in the 7th circle of hell later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Pens, beat Detroit!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharrow Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Yeah, Chicago looks terrible. I wonder how much is Detroit is making them look bad and how much is just them. Looks like it's going to be a rematch of last year. That would be a great series; I think the Pens can put up more of a fight than they did last year.

CrazyCarl40 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Let's not count chickens, but it would be a great series.

CrazyCarl40 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 This two days off **** is horrible. I agree. The NHL bending over for NBC is awful. They may not start the CUp until June 5th and they want back to back games to start it. What a joke Bettman is. Here's to the Pens finishing it off tonight!!!

Lurker Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 NBC should man up and televise the Stanley Cup games whenever they happen during the week. The NHL should not have a whacked out schedule because of TV. Do a normal schedule and then go to the TV networks. If NBC refuses to televise it, then it would go to Versus or something. I don't know. All I know is that this schedule sucks and makes no sense for hockey, and that's what we should care about, not TV and its ratings. There should be two days off after both conference finals have been decided and then the SCF should start, whatever day that is. There should not be back to backs during the finals (or playoffs at all) and there should not be multiple games off in a row during a series barring something out of the ordinary.

Lurker Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I heard something crazy about a long layoff before the finals. That will pretty much kill it here for a lot of people. read the posts before yours. Penguins are going to have over a week off before the Finals start, and it doesn't matter how soon the western conference finals are over. They set a start date of like june 6 and they're waiting until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 From ESPN.com's Scott Burnside: "If the Chicago Blackhawks cannot extend their series against Detroit on Wednesday night, the rematch of last season's Cup finals will begin in Detroit with back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday. If the Blackhawks prevail in at least one game, the finals will begin in the Western team's rink a week from Friday with games on June 5 and 6." Either way, the NHL is taking it in the rear from NBC, who would rather show episodes of wipeout or some other random summer television bullspit than the Stanley Cup finals. I could care less who the Pens play, although having the chance for revenge would be sweet, and I don't want to have to wait another week and a half. Go wings?

Seriously....enough is enough with NBC. Hell, put it on Versus for all 7 games, I don't care. People are all up in arms about Versus, but you know what, their coverage is EXCELLENT. Good announcers, good HD feed, great game & studio analysis during intermissions, I have NO problem with Versus' coverage of the NHL. If you cable company doesn't carry them..it's not my problem. Sure, ESPN would be ideal, but they treated the NHL like red-headed step children just the same. Everyone forgets that when the NHL was down and out, Versus stepped in and ran with it. Versus isn't the problem here, NBC is. If they delay the start of the series that fricken long, they are killing whatever momentum they have, especially in light of the NBA playoffs.
