Broadcast available for Penguins-Jokerit game - 10-2-08

A few of you have e-mailed us concerning a potential broadcast this morning's (or is it this evening's) game. Having searched the internet back more than a few times this morning, we can not find any outlet that is offering a broadcast - legal or otherwise - of the game. Additionally, we're not aware of any outlet offering an radio broadcast of the game in any language.

If anyone who might be a little bit more tech-savvy than us finds an outlet, please e-mail us or post in the comments below this post.

UPDATE: A few readers have e-mailed us. Some information on a broadcast can be found here.


EMPTY NETTER ASSISTS

Penguins

-Turns out Ryan Stone didn't clear waivers afterall. As a result, Jonathan Bombulie of the Wilkes-Barre Citizens Voice reports the team is trying to organize a trade for the disgruntled forward.

-Check out Sidney Crosby's new NHL commercial:


 
-Evgeni Malkin hates goal posts.

-Faceoff-Factor has a preview of today's game.

-The Crosby-Ovechkin debate has reared its ugly head into fantasy hockey now.

-Maxime Talbot is writing a blog again for RDS. The Sidney Crosby Show has the translation.

Atlantic Division

-A breakaway goal by Ryan Callahan with 20 seconds left in regulation gave the Rangers a 4-3 win against Evgeni Malkin's former team, Metallurg Magnitogorsk. The Rangers actually came back from a 3-0 deficit to win the game. The win gave the Rangers the Victoria Cup which is a very cool-looking trophy. Nikolai Zherdev looks a little too comfortable with it for our tastes however.

-The Flyers signed 2008 first-round pick Luca Sbisa to a contract.

-Philadelphia forward Steve Downie suffered a knee injury last night.

-Forward Fedor Fedorov's short stint with the Devils has come to an end.

-Devils rookie Anssi Salmela has been impressive.

-Islanders coach Scott Gordon doesn't expect to re-build his team overnight.

Northeast Division

-The Sabres claimed forward Matt Ellis off waivers from the Kings.

-With defenseman Pavel Kubina dealing with a knee injury, 2008 first-round pick Luke Schenn has a chance to make the Maple Leafs' roster.

Southeast Division

-The Lightning spent some of its time in the Czech Republic doing some scouting. That led to them pulling a trade on former Penguins prospect Michal Sersen.

-Tampa Bay put defenseman Andrew Hutchinson on waivers and brought back former Penguins prospect Jamie Heward.

-Lightning forward and former Penguin Ryan Malone is dealing with a sore shoulder.

-Florida goaltender Tomas Vokoun doesn't think it makes any sense to name a goaltender a captain.

-Hurricanes forward Scott Walker is one tough dude http://www.newsobserver.com/796/story/1238780.html.

-Despite having arthroscopic surgery on his knee Sept. 16, Carolina captain Rod Brind'Amour is already practicing.

Central Division

-Turns out there may be something to the latest "Jim Balsillie wants to buy the Predators" rumor.

-Blue Jackets forward Derrick Brassard is dealing with a neck injury.

-The Red Wings are putting former Penguins forward Mikael Samuelsson on the third line with Dan Cleary and Valtteri Filppula.

-Before his term ends, President Bush wants to bring the Red Wings for a visit to the White House in order to celebrate their Stanley Cup championship.

-Former Red Wings forward Dino Ciccarelli has a dance club near Detroit.

-The IIHF rule forward Alexander Radulov violated his contract with the Predators when he signed with a team in the KHL.

Northwest Division

-Avalanche forward Marek Svatos is trying to rebound from a severe knee injury last season.

-Wild backup goaltender Josh Harding is dealing with an eye injury.

-Is Flames defenseman Robyn Regehr the best shutdown defender in the NHL?

-Check out this nice story about former Flames forward Hakan Loob.

Pacific Division

-The Coyotes put former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins defenseman Ryan Lannon on waivers.

-New Ducks forward Brendan Morrison looked good in his first preseason game with Anaheim.

-Sharks forward Mike Grier wants to put a disappointing playoffs last season behind him.

Norris Division

-Don't expect a NHL franchise to spring up in Sweden anytime soon.

-Having not done enough to ruin the sport in his own special way, Gary Bettman fears the world's financial crisis could hurt the NHL eventually.

-Former Penguins forward Aleksey Morozov is leading the KHL with 19 points. Fire Craig Patrick.
