In in Fresno and I guess I'm not in SJ's or LA's home markets bc both NBC Sports and NHL Network are airing Boston and New York OT

That's weird. I thought everybody would get SJ-LA on NHLN while the Bruins game was in OT.

Bruins win in OT!!! Bergeron to Marchand with the back door goal on a 2-on-1. 1-0 series lead to Boston, see ya Sunday at 3!

It is on the NHL Network.

While this wouldn't cause that much spat, this was after the NBCSN studio people stated that the SJ/LA markets would get their game in its entirety on NBCSN. I never heard a peep from the studio people about moving the later game to the NHL Network, to accommodate the overtime in the Boston game.

Yeah, NBC sucks at their hockey coverage.

You have to flip between two channels. This is impossible?

I'm not so mad at the game being on NHL Network, so much as more mad at the studio people for blatantly not telling SJ/LA viewers that their game was being moved, while NBCSN had to wrap up the overtime session in Boston before transferring games.

During the intermission break in the early game at the "live look-in" of the SJ/LA game, they stated that the late game's markets would stay with that game, while everyone else would go to commercial break, then see the finish in the early game. But that wasn't the case.

[ninersdd]

Obvious statement, but you gotta get in front of Quick to screen him and score, and it's tied thanks to that.

Fell asleep, totally missed the Rangers-Bruins game.

Seeing that the Rangers blew a 3rd period lead and lost is not exactly making me the happiest at the moment. Rangers were 5-1 in Boston the last three seasons, hopefully they can still earn a split.

[zpqmaowl]

Your sig is too big.

[Kramerica Industries]

umm...better?

[zpqmaowl]

Puck to Kopitar's face.

[ninersdd]

Sharks have to take advantage of this if Kopitar is out the rest of the game.

Do you have cable, or satellite?

[zpqmaowl]

Did Braun touch it in the crease?

[Kramerica Industries]

Oh wow.

Los Angeles to an extended 5-on-3 with a little over two minutes to play. Stuart and Vlasic off.

UPDATE - and boom goes the dynamite. Kings back on level terms.

UPDATE #2 - Kings double dip and take the lead 4-3! Amazing.

[BLUELANDbeliever]

Wow. Terrible rule and call.

This ref is a friggin joke.

[FiddySicks]

Typical :censored:ing Sharks. I HATE this team.

[Cujo]

Vintage San Jose Sharks.

Kings lead series 2-0.

[Kramerica Industries]

That's an epic loss for the Sharks.

I agree with the sentiment on the delay of game penalty. Vlasic wasn't even looking at the boards. Not to mention it may have deflected as well. Not very fond of that.

[dbadefense1990]

Can I pull up the Tomjanovich "heart of a champion" quote?

And boy was that "intentional throwout/delay of game" penalty close.

[JQK]

Sharks gonna Shark...
