Hey George,
My DIRECTV grid now shows SUN+ televising tonight's game at 7:30 on Channels 656 and 656-1 (HD). Have they now decided to show the Carolina feed?

Oli - That may be a mistake by DirecTV. It is being shown by Fox Carolina so if you get CenterIce the game is on. The bonus is you don't have to listen to Billy Lindsay.

HEY NOW!

Wow, think of all the names and hopefuls that came through here. Remember when Ivan Novoseltsev and Denis Shvidki were the future? How Joe Nieuwendyk and Gary Roberts were going to be the veteran leadership to get the kids over the top? Finally, the wait is over and it finally took the team spending on players who weren't over the hill.

Oh, and random nitpickiness: THe Panthers have had nine top 10 picks. It seems the immortal Petr Taticek was forgotten.
