I live outside of Edmonton, so I won't be buying the PPV games per se. I'll be buying all the games, regardless of whether or not they're PPV.

I'll be buying all the ones where I'm not at the game, or the local pub. I haven't missed a game since the lockout and I don't plan on starting now.

Tavares to play tonight??? That would probably make sitting through another session of 'streaming torture' worthwhile. Someone should strike up a GDT soon!!

I don't buy Staples assessment of the Souray/Lubo pairing. And I esp don't buy that Souray was best paired with Staios. Souray with Lubo at the start of the year was an all-star force out there. With Staios, neither could move the puck out of the zone as Staios has only one move(off the boards and out). Pairing Souray with Staios kills Souray's offense.

I'm fine with Souray/Lubo and Gilbert/Grebs, but I'm also ok with Souray/Gilbert and Lubo/Grebs. I am not ok with Staios anywhere near the top 4 and the fact that Staples seems to think it's a great idea really has me wondering about him.

I guess Quinn doesn't want a player that can just fight. So long Steve.

oh ya, so I noticed something funny in the elevator on my way into the office this morning. We have those captivate tvs in the elevators and they happened to be talking about the game last night. They said that Mike O'Sullivan had two goals. Good stuff huh?

I voted other, because I don't usually buy PPV games - the 66 games already telecast is more than I usually have time for.

Just about as bad as Rocky Stone on the 960 broadcast last night.

Thanks BB.

I usually buy one or two games per year. For the most part, the PPV games have been rejected by the other broadcasters because the team they're playing may not be the best, otherwise I usually go to BP's for the other PPV games.

K posted this in the tv thread, but throwing it here too to see if anyone else has had this or can help:

K, please help. I just called shaw and they said that they will not be carrying any of the Oilers PPV games here in Calgary. Can anyone else confirm this? Has anyone else been told this?! I was fuming and am calling Bell right now to see if I can switch imediately if this is the case.

I'll buy the ones I'll be at home for. Otherwise I'll see the game or go to the bar.


Also some thoughts on the game last night.
