These deserve their own post - 6-13-09

For many hockey junkies, the CBC's season-ending playoff montage and the player introductions are the most eagerly awaited part of the postseason.

No one should be disappointed:

"Surprised" might be a more apt description of our reaction of Brooks Orpik's affection for Kelly Buchberger.

With all of these CBC YouTube posts, I'm half considering putting up a posting on the Toronto Craigslist for some one in Canada to host a Slingbox there for me.  It is absurd how vastly superior Canadian TV coverage is to the garbage we endure in the US.   Sometimes I wonder if the NBA bribes NBC to intentionally ruin the NHL coverage because there is no way their coverage can be that bad without trying.

If the CBC feed was available in the USA, NBC wouldn't have to worry about the big screen changing the ratings, because they'd have a 0.0 every game.  (Unless Pierre McGuire took a puck to the face while doing a "between the glass" segment - I'd watch that on Tivo repeatedly).

Great montage and a fantastic end to an unbelievable season.  

Way to go Pens!

Did that Vancouver player spit out a tooth or did I see that wrong?

Great montage. Got a good chuckle out of Godard liking Sykora

They mentioned this on Sportscenter this morning (I guess they HAD to cover hockey for a couple minutes today). Go to Google and search for "Maxime Talbot" and check the pictures that come to the top of the search!!

I enjoyed that last video; I am surprised that only Max said Mario Lemieux; I'd've expected more.  Cute that Sykie liked Straka and that Godard said Sykie.  All in all very good.  I wish we got CBC here.

Fantastic videos....pulling the tooth out was great!

Now we get to pretty much dive right into Free Agency....no rest for the weary.

So Petr Sykora's favorite player growing up wasn't Eric Godard?

Scary thing for the rest of the league: notice how many of our guys' favorites were players who are still in the league.
