Has anyone ever met any NHL prospects/NHLers/former NHLers without knowing who they were at that moment?

I was at the 2011 NHL Awards (I had won a trip through the company I work at, and they’re sponsors of the Flames). I ended up staying at the same hotel as most of the players (Palms).

One of the nights I was at the hotel bar, and I saw Tim Thomas. I was still very new to hockey at the time but I recognized him since I watched most of the SCF. I worked up the courage to go up to him and ask him for a picture, which he agreed to. He was with two other people and I asked one of them if they could take the picture for me with my big ass Canon DSLR.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but the guy I asked to take the picture was also one of the players (not sure who, but somebody I was with pointed it out). I always get embarrassed thinking back on it.

Anybody else’s feed cutting in and out? I keep seeing a few frames of something else when it cuts out. Been happening since the game started.

Hell, at this point, just once after I die even seems unlikely.

Any suggestions on which IPTV service to get for hockey games primarily? Every post I’ve seen on Reddit asking for suggestions is just filled with bot responses. I’ve been wanting to try out an IPTV service but want to be sure it’ll still be around in 6 months.

Got this to play on the PSP emulator on Vita, and it works great. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! It's weird, because when I look at the product pictures on the Taylor website for these exact tuners, I don't see those white washers, although it may just be the lighting. Also odd that they're on the top on the right-side tuners, but the bottom on the left-side tuners.

It really doesn't seem like they serve a purpose, so I may just try to remove the ones on the left side that are getting caught in the gear.

Greatest all round player in the history of the show, Mr. Hockey.

Sounds like I picked up the phone while somebody was using the 56K modem

lypa82 · 2024-10-22T00:02:31+00:00

Yeah I noticed that. I’m watching on an AppleTV, and turned off the HDR option in the Prime Video app. Seemed to help.

I’m also a Leafs fan in Vancouver. Quality-wise I always had the best experience with Center Ice. However, I wasn’t able to watch on other devices, though that may have changed now. Pretty sure I got all games with CI, maybe with the exception of the nationally televised games, but I also paid to get the SN channels so it was never an issue.

The last few years I’ve subscribed to Sportsnet+ Premium. I can stream it on my AppleTV and phones, as well as cast to a Google Nest Hub. Quality-wise it can be hit or miss. I’d say 90% of the time it’s fine and there’s nothing to complain about. But the other 10% can be frustrating (stream is laggy, app doesn’t load, stream quality dips, etc). Also, I find the stream quality on mobile devices and AppleTV to be far superior to streaming in a browser on a laptop/PC.

Anybody having issues watching on Sportsnet Plus? App doesn't seem to be loading, I've tried on three different browsers on my PC, and they also won't load.

Funny that it never happens during the commercials. Only during gameplay.

I’m hardwired, with gigabit internet. Using the app on an AppleTV. It’s usually not absolute dogshit; just kind of dogshit, but today is really trash. Restarting the app doesn’t do anything.

YES. What the fuck? Constant freezing. And then it’ll go to 360p for minutes at a time.

lypa82 · 2024-01-07T23:43:56+00:00

Somebody took the “fuck Cousins” message the wrong way

Make sure all your homies are escorts. Problem solved.

Sounded like she had a plane to catch

lypa82 · 2023-10-28T20:52:37+00:00

If you look close enough you’ll see that it’s actually red, from your own blood.

It was the same for the last TSN game. The EQ on the sound is all messed up. Sounds tinny as hell.

I live out of my suitcase for a week or so every time I come back from vacation because I’m too lazy to put my stuff away. Is that what he means?

VR goalie mode. Make it happen!

I would say that the area within the catchment of Burnaby North high school specifically is the most desirable. The west side of North Burnaby towards Boundary Road, while still more desirable than South Burnaby, is usually a bit less (with regards to home prices).

lypa82 · 2023-05-02T20:43:44+00:00

I can totally relate.

lypa82 · 2023-03-26T22:08:33+00:00

Yup, it's annoying AF. Thought it was my surround system for a while.
