Stanley_ Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I never watched any hockey at all until I went on holiday to North America in May/June. Went to the Rangers v Bruins playoffs game at Madison Square Gardens (game three, Bruins won 2-1). Hadn't even watched a whole game on the TV before then. Went to Chicago later in the holiday and ended up watching many of the Hawks' playoff games on TV. I'll definitely be following the NHL next season. I'm also planning on trying a Capitals game when the new season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind that the quality wont be as good as you've already seen but its still highly enjoyable. Milton Keynes is a great city yeah? Maybe he likes counting roundabouts? But never mind that. Is Andy a Caps fan or no? We should try and get him to drop a ceremonial puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts151 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Any idea if times for games will likely change over the coming weeks?? Wanting to plan another Hockey Night in Edinburgh and Sundays are the easiest for people at my work to get off but it only seems to get a Sunday that has 3 games that has them spread out. Alot of Sundays which has like 7 games or whatever, all start at 7pm or later ET, was hoping for a nice spread and a choice of games for us to choose from. Just wondering if like SPL games get moved in a few weeks when TV pick up games? If not then I guess I'll make it to a Sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
