CBC won’t put Cherry on tape delay

July 31, 2005

CBC Sports has confirmed commentator Don Cherry won't be on a tape delay when his Coach's Corner segment returns with Hockey Night in Canada on CBC TV this fall. [continue]

I have to pickup the Flyers games on CenterIce, which mean many times I have to watch the Canadian TV feed. This tends to be annoying sometimes, between the Canadian commercials (When did Canada ever go to the moon?) to the biased commentators.
But there is one positive and that's Don Cherry. The guy is a trip, he reminds me of someone's drunken uncle telling war stories. I am glad they got rid of the tape delay. You will never know what will pop out of his mouth. His 'inappropriate and reprehensible' comments are many times right on.

NHL, NHLPA reach tentative CBA deal

July 14, 2005

And now for the words everyone has been waiting to hear: The deal is done!

The NHL and NHL Players' Association have finally reached an agreement (pending ratification) on a new six-year collective bargaining agreement that - if approved by the NHL board of governors and the rank and file membership of the NHLPA - will officially end the stalemate on July 21. ...

The deal is done, there will be NHL hockey this year.
I am trying to be excited for this, but I really do not care.
Sure, I will watch. I will also cheer and drink and bitch and laugh at Don Cherry, like I usually do. But it just won't feel the same.
I really did not care if the league never came back if other leagues were consistently shown on TV.
But they were not and the NHL is back, at least for six more years.
600 pages, jeesh.
