The Star Tribune is reporting that Harding is injured.
The extent of the injury is unknown.

I watched the game and I\'m thinking it\'s either neck or head. The Canucks player was driven right into him and it was
thunk-thunk
That quickly. A leg went off Harding\'s mask and he flew back and the back of his head hit the post. I couldn\'t believe it when he got up and ended up finishing the game.
That must be it though. Just a guess.

Dobber what TV package do you have in order to get the PPV nucks game. Also do you know of a way to watch nucks games on sportsnet pacific in Toronto?

[Dobber]

It was on NHL center ice on Rogers - I didn\'t think to check out SN pacific...

[enfuego]

they usually get blacked out anyways.

it\'s such a piss off.

[Dobber]

In Toronto though? I don\'t think I\'ve ever had a game blacked out that I wanted to see on Center Ice

[angus]

the Wild defenseman completely demolished Harding trying to check Ritche.. I\'m surprised he stayed in the game, actually.

[hockeynoob]

what happened to backstrom? is he still having groin issues/

[Crazynuck]

yeah i cant stand the blackouts.
for some reason they didnt block the flames/nucks game on sportsnet West but did on sportsnet Pacific the other night.
whats the deal with that?

[enfuego]

sorry, dobber, i was just referring to the regular time-shifted sportsnet.

ie. i\'m in the \'loo and i get the leaf games but not the sens games on sportsnet east or any of the games out west or on pacific, when they\'re shown on sportsnet.

I can remember last year Sportsnet games on Center Ice were actually blacked out on the Ice channels. This year it\'s the other way around. When a game comes on pacific/west or ontario (I am in the East), they get blacked out and the only channels carrying it are the Ice channels via the sportsnet feed.

Something changed in between the two seasons and from what I have read online, the NHL (not the CRTC or Sportsnet) have decided to do blackouts on time shifting in an attempt to increase the # of subsicriptions to Center Ice. What confuses me about this though is that they dont hold CBC to the same standards on Saturday night. I can go to CBC-Ottawa and watch the Sens game and CBC-Montreal to watch the Habs games rather than being forced to watch the Leafs every Saturday. I wonder how they explained that to Sportsnet or how that contractually works. Does anyone here have any more info on this. It is interesting. Thanks
