I watched The Pacific again, it's the companion series to Band of Brothers, apparently Nips was a common nickname given to the enemy

--- Quote from: richkrt99 on Tuesday May 05, 2020, 08:32:26 AM Eastern ---I "watched" the 2009 G7 of 1st round yesterday..Caps vs Rangers. It was on NBCSN Washington at some point recently and I taped it. This was the game which Federov scored late in the 3rd to win the game 2-1 (turns out Federov's last playoff goal ever). Ovie was so excited he jumped on Federov and knocked him down to the ice against the boards. Imagine that...Caps winning a G7 playoff game.
Sadly, it wasn't the whole game live, it was most of the game, slightly abbreviated, but instead of the game's play by play, it was Joe B and Locker talking live to Matt Bradley while the game was playing. They weren't even really following the game. It was kind of distracting. I would prefer to watch one or the other, not half-ass watch both at the same time.
It was actually quite annoying - you couldn't really get into the flow of the game. They had the game on about 2/3 of the screen with live video feed of the other three stacked on the 1/3 screen from their "remote" locations.
I did not enjoy it. I was bummed because I was looking forward to watching it. This makes we wonder how exciting NHL games will be with no fans in attendance.
I hear Korean baseball is going to be broadcast live soon. :huh:
Now I DID watch and enjoy this weekend Game 6 and Game 7 of the Nats winning the World Series last year. This was such an awesome playoff run. They overcame so many little bumps in the road to accomplish this. I wish I had them all on tape. I only have Games 6 and 7.
Also, with it on DVR, you can skip past all the commercials and even FF 20 seconds between pitches and condense a 3+ hour game to about 75 minutes.
Also wish I had the Caps Stanley Cup run recorded. I had several of them, but I did NOT know that DVR's auto delete items after a certain time period :'(
Go Caps.
Go Nats.
Go....Naps. (that's my p.c. nickname for whatever the Korean baseball league is) :raspberry:

I was at that game, one of the most FUN times I had at a hockey game (though like most, details are fuzzy), or any sporting event I myself wasn’t playin in
When Feds (aka God), scored that, I was wearin my Fedorov jersey, backwards Tiger-hat, and went flat out plumb nuts! I ran down from row F, made a right, and musta ran half way around the booth high fivin every one!
I forget who it was, but it was said they never heard a hockey arena that loud. . . Now that’s Caps hockey!

That's actually one thing I remember from watching this "replay"..They did ask Matt Bradley about the noise and they all commented that is was as loud as they ever heard it anywhere.
Too bad I couldn't relive any of that with this replay >:(

So....I'm still bored.
I'm currently at work (diligently working) and "watching" 2018 Stanley Cup year run....Round 2-game 2 vs the Hens on my PC.
(BTW - much gratis to AJ for the tech assistance and originally posting (long time ago) torrent links for downloading)
Anyway, my observation as I mostly listen and partly watch the game is....NBC announcers are so obviously in favor of the Hens it is embarrassing. I am listening and have to stop and replay things they are talking about to watch "their point of view" and it is totally biased. I mean, we all know this, but two years later and it is disgusting how bad they are.
I realize now (way too late, and no way am I downloading 5gb files again) that I COULD have downloaded the Canadian feed for some of these games.
Actually, I think I will for one game and see how different it is.
I know I'm a homer, but man do I miss Joe B calling the games. He is SO much better.
AND...
it's currently 2-0 Caps at the end of the 1st pd of game 2 and the Caps have 20 SOG in the 1st.
so....
FUCK YOU PENGUINS and YOUR GAY, ASS-FUCKING, HEN-SUCKING, CROSBY-LOVING announcers. :raspberry:

Wait, I meant, I'm "working from home" because I can't be at work violating Guvnah Blackface's stay at home order. ;)
