I see Kings were on the PP down 0-1, so I turn to SN1. Oh, look, its the Joe Ceremony from hours ago, instead of the live game with playoff implications.

I now get to choose between that and Gene Principe's terrible stand up act

Useless Rogers Sportsnet!!! Like you couldn't put the closing ceremony of the Joe on AFTER the live game you are supposed to be showing? What a frigging joke!!! Can't even watch it on the Centre Ice channel because according to that channel it is on live on Sportsnet. Stupid ####ing company!!!

I only ever notice when they are just bad at their job: Healey, Weekes, Garrett, etc. Otherwise I just don't care that much to notice, even with the McDavid love.

He's a generational talent, and perhaps the most skilled and exciting player I have ever seen live. Get used to the attention he gets, he's going to get it for a long, long time.

Same #### with Crosby. Just the way it is. Not a soul would complain if Mcdickhead had a C on the front if his jersey. I will concede that I'd love to slap the mustache off Garrett's face but I live in Vancouver and a lot of my hockey watching runs through him. Barf

Maybe I'm more cognisant of it with their broadcasts but do the LA guys think their fans are all first time viewers? Some of the explanations and their back and forth feels remedial.

Oh for the love of...I mean, it's great they're doing this IN DETROIT. Nobody here cares. There are Alberta team implications in the game you're supposed to be showing.

Show the game, you doofuses.

I don't get it, is there an angle that I'm missing?

That puck didn't look even close to being remotely completely across the line.

Not sure why the fans are booing the no-goal call in Anaheim.

Dammit, that's my favorite part of the game!

Yeah this is sort of annoying. And no telling how long this lovefest will go on. They have The Grinder giving a speech, and Justin Abdelkader's engagement story is riveting. Hockey history!

I don't know how many different Sportsnet channels I have, but they can't manage to show the game on their own schedule.

When did these arena opening and closing ceremonies become national television interests? Just bizarre. I didn't care about Edmonton and certainly don't about Detroit.

How long is this frigging ceremony? Maybe we'll be able to catch the third period.

This ceremony is probably going to go on for hours. Rogers sucks. They absolutely suck.
