Programming Fit For a King … and Blue, and Ranger, and Oiler

5 August, 2008

In commemoration of the 20 year anniversary of “The Trade“, the NHL Network has designated the remainder of this week as Gretzky Week.¬† While one might argue that it is not as terrifying as Shark Week, we would bet a number of netminders from the ’80s would beg to differ. NHL NETWORK SCHEDULE FOR GRETZKY [...]

Summertime on the NHL Network: Not Yet Must-See TV

16 July, 2008

Any criticism of the NHL Network has to be qualified with the acknowledgment that during its dullest, most uninspired of programming slates it offers puckheads a respite — 24 hours a day — from ESPN and everything else that is broadcast-indifferent to our great game. So it is in the spirit of constructive criticism and [...]

If Only We Still Had Drive-in Theaters for This Summer Friday Night

20 June, 2008

Something felt a little bit special about this morning, no? That’s because hockey’s back, as Versus brings us live coverage of the NHL Entry Draft from 7:00 – 10:00 this evening. And the NHL Network will have a healthy helping of coverage as well. Just as soon as Versus signs off tonight the NHL Network [...]

A VO Gig as an Omen?

21 May, 2008

Those of you who have been curious enough to follow the many links on the sidebar and footer of the blog may know of another venture of mine. In addition to this blog, a mortgage-paying day job, and a family (with two children under 5), I also have a side business as a voiceover talent [...]

Where to Watch the Worlds

2 May, 2008

The 2007 edition of the World Championship Tournament found half of OFB watching the games live and in person. What about the other half? We, too, watched live — just not in person. Like last year, we don’t believe that this year’s tournament will be on television, though we are hoping for a few games [...]

The Capitals' Top 10 Storylines for 2007-08

28 April, 2008

10. The Rebuild Is Over. Owner Leonsis uttered this proclamation during the preseason, later claiming that the season’s barometer for success would be qualifying for the postseason. Through the middle of November both seemed delusionally wishful thinking. But when the right guy arrived behind the bench, when the Caps’ skilled young core was encouraged to [...]

Developing a "Killer Instinct"?

4 March, 2008

By now you realize that the Caps secured their 70th point last night, equaling their totals for last two seasons, with still 15 games remaining. The rebuild is indeed over. This morning the Caps’ communications staff sent out its customary morning-after notes and story links, and in it observed that the team’s last three wins [...]

NBC Not on Ovechkin Bandwagon

4 February, 2008

The Alexander Ovechkin Bandwagon does not have NBC Sports as a passenger, at least not yet. They have passed on the Capitals / Rangers matchup for their Game of the Week on February 10th and will show Anaheim at Detriot. Comcast SportsNet has added the Caps/Rags game to its broadcast schedule. Additionally, U.S. viewers in [...]

Mustache Mania

15 November, 2007

Last night, I watched the Flyers and Islanders battle it out in Game 6 of the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals on NHL Network. One of the things that I couldn’t help noticing were the awesome mustaches, such as those sported by Bryan Trottier and Clark Gillies. Sadly, they just don’t grow ‘em like that anymore. [...]
