I'll be honest, there is absolutely no way I can live blog hockey with my team in the finals. It's going to be too intense and I will not be able to moderate a whole chat like that. A couple of days ago I sent out an email to some of you asking if you would want if you would be interested in taking over. Only one person replied and they could not do it tonight. I am assuming that those that did not reply either can't do it or have no interest, in which event, there is no point in setting up a live blog as my participation will be limited from nervousness and it is too difficult to watch a game, participate in other chats, and moderate my own. If you are someone who wants my instant thoughts on everything, I will be leaving sporadic comments here, but more so, I will be tweeting (if you have a Twitter account and are not yet following me, all you have to do is click here to visit my profile and click the follow button and SHA-ZAAM, you can read thoughts from me in 140 characters or less) and commenting at Broad Street Hockey (creating an SB Nation account takes 30 seconds, although once you join BSH, there is a 24 hour wait period until you can comment) throughout the evening. After each game, I will also try to write a recap here to give some thoughts, commentary, and analysis on the game. If you want to set up your own live blog, go ahead, just be sure to tell everyone you are doing so, or else, you will find yourself alone in the middle of the internet.
Okay, not that the housekeeping is out of the way, here is the broadcast information in addition to a video to get you Flyer'd up even more!
Game 1: Philadelphia @ Chicago 8:00 (NBC - Mike Emrick and Eddie Olczyk, ItG: Pierre McGuire) (CBC - Jim Hughson, Craig Simpson, and Glenn Healy, SR: Elliotte Friedman and Scott Oake)
I'm nervous right now.
ReplyDelete"Good play there for Kris Versteeg." - Eddie Olczyk, not explaining any further.
ReplyDeleteSCORE! LEINO! 1-0 FLYERS!
ReplyDeleteDarn, just like that, Brouwer ties it up.
ReplyDeleteThe reason for the goal: Ryan Parent was on the ice.
Oy ve that was bad.
ReplyDelete2-1 Blackhawks.
THAT ONE'S HARTNELL'S! TIED AT 2 IN CHICAGO!
ReplyDelete3-2 Flyers after 1. Briere got the 3rd goal. Holy shit this is a wacky game.
ReplyDeleteAnd may I recommend all Phillies fans and fans of rare baseball achievements to turn on the Phillies-Marlins game?
Roy Halladay Fact #???: Curt Henning may not be Mr. Perfect after tonight.
ReplyDeleteRoy Halladay is 1 out away from history.
ReplyDeletePERFECTION, THY NAME IS ROY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteConsider the Flyers officially upstaged tonight.
ReplyDeleteHoly fucking shit.
For once, the Phightin' Phillies upstage somebody else.
ReplyDeleteTop that, Jeffrey Motherfucking Lurie.
BETTS!!! 4-3 FLYERS!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is some sort of night.
I feel drained.
ReplyDeleteBrouwer makes it 5-4 Hawks.
ReplyDelete10 goals for 1 team is not out of the question at this point.
Dude, I totally said a goal before the intermission would be nice 3 seconds before Asham scored that.
ReplyDelete5-5 now.
The record for most goals in a Stanley Cup Final game is 15. That's a distinct possibility.
Oh, and Boosh is in net.
This has been a terrible hockey game.
ReplyDeleteThe more this game is like this, the more it is a must win for the Flyers.
No lead has lasted longer than 5 minutes this game. Good grief.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention the score is currently 5-5?
It is currently 6-5 Blackhawks with 5:45 left.
ReplyDeleteI do not want to lose this game.
It's a final. Blackhawks win a wild game 1, 6-5.
