This would normally be the spot in the day when I would preview the upcoming game for a certain team we all love. That game will be on this evening and just might be a key divisional match-up and could just mean the difference between 2nd place and 5th place in the conference. While this game may not exactly be must-win, it most certainly is must-see.
Unfortunately, the buffoons who run DirecTV and the pinheads who run Comcast still believe that the only way to resolve a difficult contract negotiation is to fuck over the fans. The selfish pricks in charge of these two corporate behemoths continue to value you so little that they refuse to come to an agreement to get Versus back onto the DirecTV airways. And, since the NHL apparently has either no clout or no interest in using said clout to fix this mess, suckers like me who shelled out $169.95 for the Center Ice package are STILL screwed when it comes to Vs hockey games. Hey, the NHL getting their money, right? Why would they care if I can't watch the game I want to watch?
So, since the incompetent baboons at Versus have been granted exclusive rights to broadcast tonight's game by the sellouts who run the NHL, I, the devoted hockey fan, am left in the dark. Thanks, guys! I admit, I'm a sucker, but I'm not so much of a sucker that I'm going to throw up free advertising for a game that I'm not worthy to watch. I guess I could huddle in front of my computer and watch one of the many free online feeds of the game that will no doubt be available for this game, but I'm not going to bother. I'm sitting tonight out. Healthy scratch. As far as I'm concerned, this game isn't happening, and there won't be any mention of the game from Mile High Hockey - no preview, no recap. I have reluctantly decided to put up a live thread tonight, so that I don't shut out those of you not screwed over by the greedy bastards. But that's all I'm doing. If you want to discuss tonight's game, I won't stop you. I just won't be taking part. I'll check back with you on Thursday, when the season resumes for me.
Oh, and thanks once again to DirecTV, Versus, Comcast and the NHL for fucking over the little people. I hope someone earns a wonderful holiday bonus for this atrocious, extended douchebaggery.

While everyone holds some accountability in this instance…DirecTV continues to be the biggest “villain” in this. Even if they were to get VS back…they are going to charge users more to get it, even though they will still pay Comcast the same price to be able to broadcast it.
Oh well, I have Com(munist)cast and a DVR…so that will be my friend tonight.
Budaj in goal…as mentioned in Dater’s blog. Andy is “feeling better” but won’t go tonight
Taking a side in this situation is kind of like taking a side when the Flames play Les Ailes, but I think Direct TV is the bigger villain here. Everything I’ve heard from them is that they want Comcast to take less money for VS (and that even means less than comparable stations) and charge customers extra for it.

President of Versus was on NHL Live
in October talking about the situation. His spin on it was that Versus offered DirecTV the exact same contract they had before, with no rate increase. DirecTV came back with a demand for an additional paragraph to be added to give DirecTV authority to re-tier Versus into a higher tier, which would allow them to hose their customers while at the same time not having to pay anything additional to Versus. Versus’ view was that since DirecTV was not being charged anything additional, they should not have the authority to go out and re-tier and increase the charges to their customers.
My former boss’ daughter works for DirecTV and she told me that DirecTV looks as Versus as one of those throw away channels that is in a bundle package, so it is not looked at as a premium channel they care about keeping.
So, that’s what information I have. Sounds like a DirecTV greed problem.
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
but then you have to point out that Versus really is a throwaway channel. If the NHL didn’t have this terrible exclusive agreement with Vs in the first place, this wouldn’t be an issue

So the real issue
is that the NHL’s deal with a “throwaway channel”, and to some extent that the NHL is viewed as a throwaway league by association, is the underlying problem?
Personally the game on Versus will be in HD, and on Altitude 2, the Av games are not. Really want A2 on HD!
The Avs games on Alt2 are in HD…

Only if the Nuggets are playing. Stupid basketball. And what really makes me mad is that Altitude advertises that Avalanche is in HD every game.

Who around these parts
thinks the NHL is a fine-tuned, well run machine? I agree with you that it was pretty stupid on the part of NHL to enter into the contract to begin with.
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
Agree
VS needs better programming if it wants to be treated like a better channel. WEC, Tour De France, second tier College Football and the NHL just aren’t quite enough.
At the same time, Direct TV cherry picked the rating to prove their point about VS during VS’ worst rating season (August). No Tour De France, No Hockey, and summer months in general.
Essentially it seems like Direct TV viewed VS as a throw away channel, and then cherry picked data to prove their point. I think VS is a better channel than it’s given credit for, but not as high as VS seems to think it is.

With NBC (and therefore NBC Sports) now under Comcast’s (which owns Versus of course) control, Versus has the potential to upgrade its capabilities in the near future.

I agree on this, but these kinds of things take time. Look where Vs. is compared to ESPN after its first two years. ESPN had Sportscenter, then strongman competition after strongman competition.
Vs. needs some major coup to steal some other sport away from competitors. Perhaps an exclusive contract to show a specific team like NBC has with Notre Dame. I bet if they could wrangle up an exclusive deal to show all the games of some of the more well-followed sports teams, they might have a shot. Red Sox? Lakers? Cowboys? I know the leagues would put up a fight, but I bet an egomaniac like Jerry Jones would love the idea of having all 16 regular season games broadcast nationwide every week.
I know, probably not legally or fiscally possible, but I know Vs. has been on the losing end of some bids, so they are at least trying to grow the programming.
If Santa comes down my chimney wearing those Red Wing colors, he's going to wish he didn't exist.
What bothers me most is that they DON’T have a nightly sports show. There are tons of people otu there looking for an alternative to Sportscenter, and yet they’ve got nothing.
I’d be happy to watch a nightly highlight show if they actually had NHL highlights and such.
Scratch that I REALLY want a nightly highlight show that actually has NHL highlights. That would be bliss.

NHL Network…On The Fly! My favorite DVR’ed show. Since at this time of the year I could give a rats anus about other sports
NHL Network is worth the extra couple bucks
I hate how much VS gets bashed, as Dixo pointed out ESPN hasn’r ALWAYS been the ‘worldwide leader’
Also, how was it a bad move by the NHL to sign with VS, a station that WANTED them?
Everyone seems to forget that ESPN had one more year left on the NHL contract and did NOT exercise the option. So, just where was the NHL SUPPOSED to gO???

I think the conquistador has it right in that this is more getting Durno back into the Lake Erie lineup. The Monsters are 2-10-2 in their last 14 games and have the worst record in the AHL.
No point in having Durno in the pressbox or on the ice for limited ice time when he can be contributing in Lake Erie (if I’m being honest, I would add that I haven’t been all that wowed with him anyway).

Definitely.
That was one of the reasons my friends back in Houston and I identified him as a guy to arbitrarily root for before ever watching him play. He was a smart guy, he was huge, and his name was boring. Then we saw him play and loved how he wasn’t a very good skater, made terrible decisions with the puck, and always managed to grab a guy by the collar during scrums in front of the net.

I won’t have a problem watching the Avs either. I started paying for Dish’s top package about 5 years ago so I could watch the Avs (they showed like 10 Avs games that year or something). Even though I have Center Ice now I never dropped Dish’s top package….

Blurb on Fahey mentions team strength
7. Brian Fahey, D A teammate of top pick Dany Heatley, Fahey is a solid defenseman with a decent shot. Not really specifically good in any particular area, Fahey is a good prospect who will need some time to adjust and develop to the pro game, if he ever makes it. His numbers have been pretty good at Wisconsin, but is that just because it’s just a strong team, or is it because of his skill?

Nice rant
And here here! I basically switch back and forth from DirecTV to Comcast every few years to take advantage of good deals. Or threaten to switch to see how bad the bozos want to keep me. My DirecTV committment is up. Maybe today would be a good day to do some digging? I’ve never tried Dish, but it seems like they have some smoking deals out there for new customers. What do others think of Dish?
I probably won’t watch the fricken game tonight. I hope they finally beat the fricken Wild. I read in the paper this morning that they are something pathetic like 1-12 and something in their last whatever regular season games against the Wild. Yuck. Making this worse is that my F-in-L is a Wild fan.

No Vs. unless you subscribe to the gold package. Once the new customer deals are over, be prepared for drastic price increases. I consider the customer support horrific. Plus they call me on my cell phone 3-4 times a month trying to get me to subscribe to a more expensive deal.
I am counting the days until my contract is over so I can switch to something else. Maybe Comcast.

Outside of the extra money for the gold package, I’ve never really had any issues with Dish (I’ve had mine 9 years). The only problem I had was when their “new software” dropped my center ice package earlier in the year and screwed up my billing. Customer service was very nice and apologetic when I complained and got me hooked back up right away.

I love my dish setup. i have the hd-only gold package. I don’t need any of their SD crap anyways, and it’s cheaper (50$ a month + locals and the other crap). unfortunately, I don’t think they offer it anymore. if they do, that’s the right package.
the best thing about dish is the DVR. it’s very nice. not quite Tivo quality, but vastly superior to the other major providers. They also have excellent picture quality, which matters to my image-processor work persona.
ive never had cell phone calls, nor price increases i wasn’t aware were coming. their customer service is par for the course, imo.

Ok, I wrote my game preview…off to bed for a pre-game/post-work nap.
Mile High Mayhem just another ho-hum Avs blog.
About the game
Here is a link to a preview
http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/gamecenter/preview/NHL_20091209_MIN@COL/wildavalanche-preview
From that preview:
Budaj has made three straight starts in place of the injured Craig Anderson (neck), posting a 1.34 goals-against average in those games. Anderson started all three Colorado losses to Minnesota this season and posted a 2.54 GAA, while Budaj compiled a 1.58 GAA in his last three matchups with the Wild despite going 1-1-1.
What I don’t get is how you can post a 1.58 GAA over three games and still end up with a loss and an overtime loss. I guess that speaks to how horrible the offense was last year.
Here is hoping the Avs plays strong and get the win. I won’t be watching of course, because I am one of the fools who has DirecTV.
Go Avs!
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
To be fair, he didn’t face a shot in the OTL, but still got stuck with it. So basically he gets the 3 game record…but only played 2 (shootout not withstanding)
Except
I think those numbers refers to Budaj’s last three outings with the Wild. Maybe I am reading it wrong.
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
No you’re right. He’s got a 1.34 in the past 3 games, with the weird OTL no shots issue, but he was 1.58 in the last 3 games agaisnt the wild. I remember one of them was either a 0-0 shootout loss or a 1-1 shootout loss. Still bazaar.

Our receptionist at work is from Michigan and a Red Wing fan…I literally have to walk out of the room if the word hockey is mentioned. She is cute and nice, and I don’t feel like starting a screaming match everyday on my hatred of the Wings.
See I worked with a guy from Detoilet at my last school. He and I are still pretty good friends because, though, hi is a fan of Lea Ailes, he is actually a very nice and knowledgeble guy. He is probably like a bigfoot in that the existence of nice, polite, intellectual Wings fans are impossible to find.
This guy’s son is a Sharks fan and they usually go to a couple of Sharks, and/or Coyote games each year. We often try and hit Las Vegas Wranglers (ECHL) games together.

Man,
you need a better vetting process. I’m pretty sure that if Salma Hayek showed up on my doorstep with a keg and wearing nothing but a hockey sweater asking if she could come inside for some “recreation”, I’d be obliged to close the door if it were an Ailes sweater.
Some things are just non-starters.
Your conversation might start like this:
“Hi, I’m Dashing, Rather Dashing. What’s your name”
“I’m (insert name here)”
“Hi, (insert name here). Are you a serial killer?”
“No”
“Cool. Les Ailes fan?”
“Yes”
“Allow me to introduce you to my friend Mr. Jeffrey Dahmer. Jeff, you said that you were hungry, right?”

Bob once “flirted” with a Hooters waitress who was young enough to be his daughter, and she was a Wings fan. Bob talks a good game on this site, but in real life, his loyalties aren’t quite as strong.
And a definite yes to Salma. She could be wearing the Wings sweater and a tramp stamp that says “Wayne Rooney is God” and I’d let her in, too.
For the record
She put on my Avalanche coat. I did not put on anything winged wheel. So there. But you would have to remember that Danno.

I feel all of your pain
I get ESPN America in the UK, and for just £150.00 per year, (yes, pounds, or around US $243.00) I get the privilege of watching the Leafs, Calgary, Pittsburgh and Edmonton almost exclusively.
I also get the joys of “ESPN” sidebars down the sides of the screens (err, you guys at ESPN do know about widescreen tvs, yeah?)
Oh, and I have seen 3 Avs matches this season, 1 win and 2 losses.
However, this is all a vast improvement over last year, where due to the provider going bust, I got nada. But, yeah, I feel your pain.

Versus
Is working on bettering their line-up so they can justify the amount of money they’re asking from DirecTV in order to carry their channel. They’re currently developing a number of original shows.
That being said, the real reason behind this blackout, is the pending acquisition of a majority stake in NBC-Universal by Comcast. I guess they figured “Hey, screw you DirecTV, soon we’ll be so powerful, we’ll just buy you out!”
But things are changing. In the next 5 years, cable and satellite are going away. Internet TV is replacing everything, and the middle man (cable/satellite companies) will no longer be holding all the cards. Soon, if you want Versus, you just pay them a subscription fee—say, $1 a month. HBO? $7 a month. CNN? $0.25, etc. So my entire subscription per month will be $28 based on the channels I watch, instead of shelling out $90 a month for a few channels I want, and a ton of crap I’ll never watch.
Screw you Comcast, and screw you, DirecTV!

Greg Sherman on the show now: http://www.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?catid=616#&intcmpid=nhl-hp-vidchn-livewire
Quick recap of Sherman on NHL Live
-Praise for Sacco developing the players and earning the respect of the vets
-He’s happy about the goaltender duo
-Quincey deal has worked well for both teams
-Duchene has been great and is coming along
-Stas is only 24 and doing great things and is a big part of the future
-Duchene + ORLY are a big part of the team and that is why they won’t be in the world juniors
-Losing Davey was unfortunate but the team has rallied to overcome that
-Tucker has been outstanding (?) Brings his compete level every night (?) and it goes a long way towards helping the young kids.
Basically he didn’t say anything useful, just the standard praise and company line as you’d expect
I was totally with him until the Tucker bullshit
