Texas Stars Face Elimination in Hamilton

Please forgive a very busy day at work (and LOST postgame) for the lack of content today. In the mean time, think a good thought for the Texas Stars tonight because they need all the good thoughts they can get.

It's been six periods of hockey since someone not named Jamie Benn scored a goal for this team. While Benn is the ultimate ringer in this tournament, he still needs help. Visit Hundred Degree Hockey for Stephen's take on the action, and some notes on shots on goal that are not encouraging.

As usual, you can watch the game at theahl.com for $10, and you can listen to the broadcast for free.

Win or lose, I thank the Stars for giving me something to hold onto practically all the way to June. It's definitely helped make the off-season more bearable thus far. Soon the hockey will stop altogether and the real boredom begins.

broadcast isn't worth 10 bucks

I bought game 3 to watch and I was very disappointed with the broadcast presentation. I know it wouldn’t be NHL caliber but I didn’t expect it to be that bad. Here’s what I didn’t like
- no replays
- no score or clock
- camera moving all over the place very fast during off-plays and showing the same group of people in the crowd about 10 times
- no ice sounds (board hits, shots, skating, goal horn)
- hearing commercials during the national anthems and intermission events
- game blacked out and froze and it wasn’t just me

What I did like was Josh Fisher’s play by play, he is a great announcer and makes listening to the game very exciting. i also liked seeing both intermissions, especially the 2nd one featuring the ice girls!!!
