Should be an ugly one. I like the looks of our top line, but beyond that it’s pretty weak. Come on Doobie….
POST GAME SUMMARY
Grit. Determination. Guys wanting to win an NHL spot. That’s what this game was about tonight. Great performance by the Oil tonight, highlight by solid goaltending by Gerber, a strong game by the top line, some offensive power from unlikely sources such as the 4th line, and a nice beatdown by O’Marra on Connaughton. The Oil dominated most of this game, on some great performances by the blue collar guys. I was pretty impressed with Giroux as well too.. he’s a guy I’ll be keeping a close eye on.
Also, do the Oilers have an incredibly fortunate offensive blueline trio of Whitney, Gilbert and Foster, or what? I expect some big points from them, so long as they stay healthy.

This is on 301 for shaw
God damn it! I hate Telus.
I hate being in Ontario. These games are so damn late, now.
I thought telus picked up sn1. I’m on bell but free nhl preview right now so I might luck out.
Gerber starts
John… TELUS is carrying sportsnet one. Hunt the guide and tell us channel
@John. It’s playing on TELUS too. 677 (HD) and 106 (SD).
Great words from Horc on hall. I’m on road so can’t say but he said exactly what I want to hear . Will update later. Such a team guy, Horc is
Not on NHL network so I’m done for. Guess I’ll do some renos.
Ya I have SN1 (106) but when I scroll through the guide @ 8PM is listed: MLB baseball
I’ll tune in at 8 to see if the game is on anyway.
Bear in mind this is on a diff sportsnet one than the main one … to add confusion
FFS!! Bell isn’t carrying it.
Too bad. I was looking forward to seeing all the hits and fights.
Grab a couple homebrews and head over
Man, can you imagine if the Oilers beat the Nucks tonight? Sisters + Lou… well they have about 10NHL players while we have maybe 4 (Horc, Storts, Whitney, Vandermeer)?
Let’s hope! But I don’t our blue collar guys are even the best choices.
This is one of the few times I’m pissed at Bell.
It’s not like they have 2000 channels available for everything else…….effers.
I can’t even find it on any of the pirated sites. What has the internet come to?!
Yah that sucks man. I guess this is payback for having awesome satellite up to this point while us peons are on cable.
Karmic rebound.
Lame that the Oilers site isn’t streaming this.
Nor is the Sportsnet one. At least not that I could find.
It should be on CHED at least…. just trying to help. lol
Sorry Chucker, I looked around at my usual places and nothing seems to have the feed. I could hook up my webcam and post a live feed somewhere =p
Thanks Zack. A live streaming game from your living room would be swell.
@ Racki; Yeah, CHED. Oh well, al least the new guy sounds good.
The Canucks are streaming it online for “Free” but there is all this sign up b.s.
Haven’t read the full details, but it might not really end up being free:

edit: it also appears unavailable in our area. I’ll dig the forums for a stream..
Access denied. “You are accessing this page from a restricted territory.”
Now I really hope the boys pummel the ‘Nucks. *insert angry emoticon here*
Thanks Racki. I think I’ll just CHED it ‘cus, honestly, I can’t stand listening to the Canucks guys anymore.
Btw, was that Rod’s replacement dude who was calling the Joey Moss Cup game? If so, I like him.
Proxy?
Yes.
I might have a feed

The channel is live right now. Its on TSN now but hopefully the user switches to sportsnet at game time.
SFSG!! Hopefully it switches over.
Was just going to post that too.
And game on.. (well, show on)
Here is a new link that might work better.

Don’t you mean “Shaw on”! Sorry couldn’t ignore the Gene in me. Is that Pink Floyd intro music?!
Ahh… so nice to hear Quinn and DeBrusk again..
Seems to be working……for Leafs highlights. Maybe the game will start soon.
Yep.. I was sitting here thinking that too “is that Floyd I hear?” (sounded like Time if I’m not mistaken..)
Ok this is the wrong sportsnet or something cause i am just getting SN connected.
The jersey is officially on!
I hope that Giroux really puts on a show tonight, as much as I’d like to see him succeed in the “A”, I’d rather have him playing successful in the show.
Ouch, my freikin’ ears.
Got the game here

Zack: Yah he actually didn’t look bad last night. I think with Giroux, playing with those speedy guys isn’t as bad as you’d think. For him, anybody can bust ass and skate hard in a straight line (i.e. to keep up). It’s speed with maneuverability that can be tricky.
So I think he will do fine keeping up with linemates, offensively.
That was quite a twangy version of Oh Canada…I’m CHED’g it tonight, has anyone found a video feed that works yet?
Onddruusss scccoorrrress
Nice rebound control, Loooo
