"Something" sucks when you are used to the champagne of HNIC. I'll sit down tomorrow night and plot my way through the weekend.
Setanta's coverage is very poor compared to ESPN, but at least it's something. I'm hoping ESPN will buy the rights for the playoffs when they come around. I've gotten to see Jagr and the Flyers play twice so far this season, so I'm happy enough! I'm still not fully attached to one team, so I'll just fanboy over Jagr for the time being.

DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
But ESPN America used the local feeds too. Apart from HNIC, there is no national games at the moment
Versus start their coverage this week, so I'll assume Setanta will take that.

Watched Boston @ Toronto last Saturday night, and they used the HNIC programme, but didn't show Coaches Corner.....?????
Leafs on Setanta Ireland tonight v Tampa Bay from 0030. NYIAOW!
Also dodge, could you change the title of this thread to just Ice Hockey. Cheers.

Having serious trouble with coverage this year. It's so sporadic. Very disappointing.

Beaten by Vancouver again at the Air Canada Centre.
8 years and counting. Getting really pee'd off at Setanta. They had the CBC:HNIC coverage and during the period-breaks they cut to endless ads and idents.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Watched Boston - Flyers on Saturday and most of Flyers - Dallas last night. A 6-0 defeat and then 4-1 win for the Flyers. Giroux made a big difference returning from injury with a 4 point game.
The big day is later. Love the Winter Classic. Fingers crossed for some CBC coverage and my first acquaintence with Mr Cherry all season.
6pm Setanta Ireland
Boom
Amazing season so far for the Rangers, hopefully will continue against the Flyers tonight
I'd expect the coverage to be NBC, they probably have the international feed on this one.

So, seems yet again Setanta's pathetic coverage continues.
They are showing Connacht v Leinster now rather than at 830. I'm livid!
PremierSports/Setanta have the NHL rights for this season in Ireland, Britain and the Nordic countries. ESPN retained the rights for the rest of Europe. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Seems the game has been delayed by 2 hours...

I'll take that back for now Setanta.
Jagr and Hartnell have been great.
That's because Jagr is a beast of a man, and a sexy beast of a hockey player.
Great comeback from the Rangers from 2-0 down to win 3-2. Lundqvist saved a penalty shot with 19 seconds left too.
Great last period there.
Shame Setanta don't give us the intermission chat.
Another great performance from the Rangers, top of entire league now. Lundqvist showing again he's by far the best 'keeper in the NHL. Hopefully the wins will continue at home to Florida on Friday. Glad the "winter classic" is over and done with for another year. Not a fan of it at all. Hockey is far better indoors with the fans right up against the rink
