1-1 Started watching at the start of the second period and the action has been pretty good. It’s funny but the CBC HD picture seems better than NBCs for some reason.

Thx for the pix. Openning was great...esp. the Irish Tenor...wonderful commentary.
From my understanding, HD pictures can vary depending on how much compression is used
Indeed...there is certainly variability over the many channels available these days.
I think your 3rd period flurries have hit early
I would expect nothing less for "the worst goon in hockey", per Reggie Dunlop!
Go Pens!!!
My flurries? Gee...I’m feeling Rovian :)
Wow. That looks much better and more fun than an ordinary hockey arena.
are they going to zamboni when they switch sides at 10:00
The snow is knocking out the uplink!
The Zamboni drivers should be interviewed, and give autographs...they have been an intregal part of this game :)
We have a Winter Storm Warning up for SW Pa thru tomorrow (about 6 inches expected). Since I really havent gotten my Rove weather skillz honed, how is the weather in SoCal today (I am a glutton for punishment)?

it was 42 this morning but 71 right now with a light breeze in my location.
I love how they are describing the the snowfall (poor Eddie O. his face is getting stung by the flurries). Tending the ice again.
What a great day for hockey - wish I could have been there.
What a great game! Happy the Pens won as well, this being a nationally televised event, viewers got a real treat! Great three periods of gameplay; powerplay in overtime, the shootout. Just great all around. Both teams did a magnificent job.
Hollywood ending w/Crosby scoring the winner in the Shoot Out. Great game, no one got hurt, the crowd was wonderful...the NHL couldn’t ask for a better venue :)
Coolest sporting event I’ve seen in quite a while. Great game, too.
The NHL has something good here.
