Bmwolf21 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 finally Versus is showing the two I want to watch. What's been with Versus occasionally picking up the CBC feed? It's happened a few times over the last few nights - is Versus having regular technical difficulties or is it a DirecTV thing? Anyone else notice this?

bob_sauve28 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 finally Versus is showing the two I want to watch. I kinda like the Colorado-Minnesstoa series myself, but will probably watch the Sharks game tonight. Minnesota looks like they might be toast though with the defensive troubles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoatheadInCT Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I love watching the CBC broadcasts because they are very intense and love descriptions and focus on different players which is severely lacking in US broadcasts. Also quite is amusing is how they pronounce Langkow LANGKOH- like RJ when he says SPAHCHUK! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happened a few times over the last few nights - is Versus having regular technical difficulties or is it a DirecTV thing? Anyone else notice this? They've done that since they picked up the NHL a few years ago. They'll just tap into CBC's broadcast for the playoffs - primarily just the late-night Western Conference games.

If they were smart, they'd do it for EVERY game they broadcast. HNIC knows how to do a national game the right way IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 They've done that since they picked up the NHL a few years ago. They'll just tap into CBC's broadcast for the playoffs - primarily just the late-night Western Conference games. They may have done this in the past (I honestly don't remember them doing this last year) but this doesn't feel like a planned thing. On a handful of instances this year there have been issues with the Versus feed - audio and/or video freezing, dropping out, whatever - which leads to a switch, mid-period, over to the CBC feed and then back to Versus.

No argument here. Versus should throw a ton of money at producers of top-notch local feeds to come in as consultants and straighten out the crap Versus calls a broadcast.

bob_sauve28 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I love watching Phaneuf and Ovechkin. That Mike Green is a good one, too. But I do like the way Ovechkin skates. I haven't watched that Phaneuf too much, maybe I'll catch that game tonight, everyone has been saying its the best so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudz Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 def not fair for washington there. Guys get high stick bleeding, and they only call the roughing against wash. Should have been a 4 min high stick. They didn't score on the PP but the goal scoring fore check was started during it. Grrr.... <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
