2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs

How are you doing this when many games are on NBCS and CNBC and other Non OTA channels ?

That's one thing I love when going back to visit in the Detroit area...CBC from Canada using an OTA antenna. Also, the only thing I really miss about not having my old Star Choice (or whatever they're called these days) is Hockey from Canada. Good stuff!

 

[riffjim4069]

Nothing on the TV this evening so I'll be tuning-in to the game this evening.

Because's he's actually in Montreal.

He still can't see the stuff thats on NBCS and CNBC, unless it's on other networks as well ...

 

[Jimbo]

CBC's coverage is second to none

I agree, I use to watch it years ago when I could get a OTA signal, now that it's gone digital, it's no longer available here that I know of.

 

[Jimbo]

If only I could say the same thing but CBC did not pick up the Red Wings-Bruins series.

Can you get CBC OTA from where your at ?
If so, what is the channel number now ?

Rangers and Flyers tied at 1.

Yes I can. The transmitter site is at Mcgregor Junction, Ontario and I'm 30 miles Northwest from that spot. They still broadcast on VHF channel 9 if you want to try to pick it up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBET-DT

That's what TSN, TSN2, and RDS all on cable up there are for. But since he's a Habs fan and clearly knows English, he doesn't necessarily need those channels either unless he's following another team.

Watching now...

Blues tied the game with under 2-minutes to play in regulation. Lots of exciting games this go-round.

The Sharks & Kings are trying to have a bench clearing brawl.

I was watching this in the 2nd OT, but fell asleep, never did see if someone won or not

 

[Scherrman]

I tried watching the end of the Blackhawks game but I also fell asleep. Woke up to find they lost. Blackhawks pissed that game away.

 

[riffjim4069]

Yep, I too fell asleep last night. However, I'm looking forward to the Wings-Bruins game this evening. Go Wings!

Irony is, most English fans (in Quebec and the Maritimes) prefer to watch Habs games on RDS (French version of TSN/ESPN). Mainly because the play by play guys are awesome and really know their hockey and history of the game, whereas CBC has alienated a lot of fans Canada wide with their pro-Leafs rhetoric.

That's an interesting topic, Ive been fluently bilingual since day 1 (never spoke English to my mother, and never French to my father). I don't have an accent in either language except when I speak w/ my Grandmother (Welsh/Wales) then I have a heavy British accent (go figure)

 

[riffjim4069]

I'm tuned-in at the gym...difficult to keep my thoughts on workout.

I think a storm's a Bruin!!!
