I thought for sure WGN will pick it up, but there is no mention of it on their website. TSN has the redwings habs game, no mention of it on sportsnet. Hopefully someone picks it up.

It would be shame if nobody picked it up. Only the 8th time in history this has happened. it happened last season too, and the game was just amazing.

I'm pretty sure all we get now is Peachtree TV, which won't carry the game. Best bet is probably SportsNet i'm guessing.

Just subscribe to Sportsnet Pacific or East for a month and then cancel it. It's like $2.99.

It won't be on peachtree. Unless you can access another regional sportsnet I think you could be SOL. I'm sure it'll be on the net somewhere.

I'd rather be watching the Flames/Oilers preseason game...

I have a feeling I'm in the minority of U.S. sports viewers tonight.

you have 2 hours. or you could go to a bar and ask them to turn 1 measly tv to the baseball game.

I actually tried to watch a few mets games over the internet without luck. I couldn't even find a radio station that was carrying it. The local stations in NY either wouldn't work or were not allowed to carry the game over the internet. I think the MLB must keep a pretty tight ship over these things because they charge to watch games on mlb.tv. I suppose you could always buy a subscription there as well if you were really desperate.

I just checked my Bell Guide ... it doesnt list the game on any of the Sportnet feeds.

Will it show the game anyway? Am I missing something here?

Incidentally, the game isnt listed on the MLB Extra Innings channels either (but I didnt subscribe to those).
