Kanada Kev Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 A thoroughly enjoyable Playoffs this year from start to finish. Lots of great matchups, drama, goals, etc. CBC did a great montage that aired at the end of the broadcast. In case you missed it, sit back and enjoy while not doing any work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSloth Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I surprisingly and strangely found myself pulling for Phillie (Claude Giroux still lives in the glorious oasis that I call home, d'Orleans!) but I can live with the results. Unlike some, I'm happy for Hossa, nothing wrong with exercising your free agent rights IMO and he was a great Senator. For me it's really about the Leaves now being tied for the longest no cup streak and sole owner of the dubious 43 years and not a sniff of the finals streak. So awesome they're officially the most futile franchise, not that there aren't a bunch of teams that are far behind but every one of them has at least made the cup finals in my lifetime. Thanks Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Unlike some, I'm happy for Hossa, nothing wrong with exercising your free agent rights IMO and he was a great Senator.+1 from me, and I don't think Sens fans in general have ever held anything against the guy. I thought the whole "Hossa curse" talk was hilarious though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Great game last night, great series. The celebration must have killed the Flyer fans in attendance.I'm ambivalent about Hossa winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSloth Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I'm ambivalent about Hossa winning.That's understandable, we all realize that this thing called "winning" is a strange and foreign concept to you, try to settle into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 That's understandable, we all realize that this thing called "winning" is a strange and foreign concept to you, try to settle into it.It goes without saying that I was cheering for the Flyers. I picked the Hawks (in 6) in all my pools though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 A win for the ages for Chicago Blackhawk fans will likely go down as a game for the ages for the NHL.Game #6 between the Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers, won by Chicago on a bizarre Overtime goal by Patrick Kane, scored a hockey-massive 5.7/10 overnight rating, likely making it the highest rated National Hockey League game in 37 years, breaking a mark that last year’s Penguins/Red Wings Game 7 set. This is perhaps the highest-rated game on record, and the first time I’ve ever seen a 10-share associated with an NHL game.The game peaked from 11-11:30PM with a terrific 7.1/13. The game finished in 2nd place overall in the ratings from 8-10PM, while the lowest rated half-hour was 8PM again, with a 4.3/8, topping almost every half-hour of Game 1. The game averaged a 6.6/11 in the 10PM hour, winning that particular timeslot, before coming up with the huge 7.1 rating after 11PM. The telecast ended at 11:30 PM. The game scored a total 5.5/9 in primetime.Overall, the game was up 30% from last year’s Game 6 (a 4.4/7). Overnights from Game 7 of last year’s record-setting Penguins/Red Wings game are unavailable. Numbers are preliminary, but all indications from the metered markets are that this game will break that game’s ratings, as the game drew a final rating of 4.2 and 7.9 million viewers, and the ratings for Devils/Mighty Ducks in ’03 (4.6, 7.1 million viewers) to become the highest-rated hockey game since 1973.

Kanada Kev Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) JR gets choked up from the win. Milbury's a douche, but maybe some people will get a hint of the value and elusiveness of the greatest pro sports championship/trophy around (stupid title for the video): Edited June 10, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 actually, i was just baffled by Booche's mastery of overnight US network ratings and analysis in this situation. It was then that I realised that it was news from another site and not "straight from the horse's mouth" 7 minutes "old" phew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Nice TV ratings for the game last night. I also heard that the weekend game beat the Indy 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was then that I realised that it was news from another site and not "straight from the horse's mouth" 7 minutes "old" phew I was just joking around and thought you had just made the simple mistake of missing Booche's post thus the mildly humourous pic, now I'm baffled why you felt the need to link to an article that you knew was quoted in it's entirety 2 posts above but then again I thought it was obvious Booche was quoting. No biggie but I want you to issue a refund for the depreciation of one mouse click on my mouse, that shit adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
