My Wings are 2-0... good start!
And my Habs are 2-0 too, both road games. Looking mighty fast. Higgins will be a star. In Toronto Sat. Night. Should be a great game.
Is CBC back from their labor stoppage? Are the Obners north of the border gonna get HNIC this Saturday?
Haven't heard anything about the labour stoppage being setlled, but I do think it is business as usual for HNIC, the networks bread & butter. Even without a settlement they may well do what they've been doing with their CFL telecasts...Football without announcers. I'm pretty sure that I heard they would have announcers (including Don Cherry) for the game.
A few years ago the French CBC had an announcers strike in the middle of a habs/Bruins playoff series. I had the option of watching the English feed with announcers and the French one without announcers. It was no contest. I much preferred watching without announcers. More closely approximated being there in person as the rink noises, especially the skates scraping on ice came through much more clearly, but that was just a bonus the real treat was not having announcers to muddle-up the game.
