Well, just in case you missed that Islanders-Blackhawks game earlier in the week... the NHL and Google are teaming up to make every game available on Google Video, for free. The catch is you have to wait 48 hours to watch.
Hey, I suppose for a hockey fan living in the U.S., waiting 48 hours to watch the game on your laptop beats not being able to watch it since Versus isn't on your cable package.
SHORTER SEASON REVISITED
Meantime, some people are talking about the need for the league to play fewer games.
During an overnight wrapup this week, we laid out a setup for a shorter 72-game National Hockey League schedule that might quiet the carping coming (mostly) from Western Canada: conference opponents would play each other four games, and play everyone else once, with one extra game thrown in.
So instead of Vancouver fans seeing Sidney Crosby every third year, now their teams would get a visit from the Cole Harbour Comet every second season. Assuming the Penguins don't trade Crosby to the Chicago Blackhawks tomorrow since they're just going to lose him as a free agent when he turns 25, anyways. (Note the sarcasm.)
Anyway, James Mirtle and his readers now have a good dialogue going about a shorter and/or revised regular-season schedule. It's worth checking out.
I'm off to help defend the Ottawa Sun's honour in a team trivia contest. Have yourself a good weekend and check out that Raptors opener tonight.
