    Where are all the ho

    There are like 3 games scheduled for airing in the next 2 weeks. This is sooo lame.

    You canadians are lucky. They probly play hockey like everyday up there like they play football down here huh?

    Arrrg. It sucks. There's so many games I want to watch that aren't on TV. So I'm stuck with the stupid NHL.com highlight reels.

    Does this have anything to do with the whole budget/contract situation??? Like they're trying to get people to go to the games more instead of staying home and watching it? :cry:

    This has actually been an ongoing trend the past few years. I can't say why this has happened but ESPN just isn't carrying the games like they used to. I am seriously disappointed in NHL2NIGHT also, I mean, it's barely ever on, hell, even on National Hockey Night it's not always on! It's crazy.

    Even when ESPN does show a game, it's almost gaurenteed a Detroit game! Or Colorado, and always against teams like Anaheim or Chicago!

    But comeon! For the love of God, please show me a Dallas/Edmonton game or a Boston/Montreal game! Just once, or weekly, or every night!!!

    Luckily though, I am in an awesome area where I don't really have to worry that much. I get all Devils/Isles/ and all Rangers games anytime they are on.

    Used to have Center Ice but it's a waste of money if ya don't have the time watch 3 or 4 games a night.

    I get a few games per week on HDNET, which is nice, and the local Blues games (I think about 60 are televised), other than that, not much NHL action on.

    Hardly anything on this month during the last couple weeks of the year though, not with all of the college football Bowl games.

    Center Ice rocks. For the price of going to see one or two games you get almost the entire NHL season so there's multiple games on every single night. The bonus is the coverage of the first 2 rounds of the playoffs too. :D
