Like So High School
Sunday, December 14th, 2008THIS is the Comcast SportsNet Website
Sunday, December 14th, 2008Note they have a tab on TV Listings. Anyone who is having issues on locating channels where the games are broadcast should go to this resource. Check here or call Comcast. Seek help at their website please.
I am NOT responsible for the cable channel settings. Don’t get mad at us or me personally. We want all games televised and available to all. We work that issue very hard and Comcast has been a great partner.
But we don’t control the channels, the technology and the infrastructure. We sell our rights to Comcast and they are in charge. I am not trying to skirt any issues but it isn’t helpful to anyone to get rants in email to us about an issue we do not control. I believe FiOS has made a decision to NOT carry CSN Plus so many of you have issues with FiOS too. Go to their website. Email them or call your local FiOS rep as well.
Simeon Varlamov Debut Well Done
Sunday, December 14th, 2008That was a pretty nice debut. I am very happy for our young goaltender and we all believe he will be a big part of our future. He is a dominant goaltender already down in Hershey and to win 2 to 1 in Hockey Night in Canada is indeed a big thrill.
He was remarkably calm in net. He played much focused, very safe hockey and he didn’t get rattled at all. He is a very athletic goalie but he is also very astute and very analytic in his preparation and style of play.
If you remember, we received the first round pick that we used to draft Varlamov in the Brendan Witt trade from Nashville. Witt now plays for the New York Islanders as “he didn’t want to be part of a rebuild.” We drafted Simeon at the 23rd spot and we think he will be a big part of our future. We are loaded up and down the lineup with talent and I am proud of the job our amateur scouts have done in picking terrific young players to come into our system. I am also proud of the folks at Wikipedia who have already updated Varlamov’s profile with the win last night! (See it here.)
I am also happy for our team. Last week, many fans on our message boards and some media types were quite worried about the notion of our having to play against the Bruins, Senators and Canadians in such a short period of time. We came out of play unscathed and now have the 3rd best record in the East which is really terrific news considering how short handed we have been.
Frost/Nixon
Sunday, December 14th, 2008This was a very good film, very well-acted and directed. The scenes and the atmosphere recreated reminded me of my childhood and dinner conversations and arguments with my parents. I recommend you go see this film. Very well done indeed.
Fifth Most Points in NHL as of Today, Sunday
Sunday, December 14th, 2008We are making progress against our goals. We have established ourselves as a good to very good team in the NHL despite our rash of injuries.
If you want to see something incredible, check out the Bruins and the Sharks goals for and goals against. Now that is an impressive set of stats!
We have miles to go before we sleep to bring our record up on the road but we are a pretty good team at home.
Hoya Saxa - A Big Win Over Memphis
Sunday, December 14th, 2008It was a big win on national TV for the Georgetown Hoyas. We got a small measure of revenge over a very talented team in Memphis who beat us badly last season and I think we are proving that the team has reloaded and is deep and talented and ready for a national spotlight once again this year.
As an alum and Board Member, it makes us all proud to see the team play with poise and with grace and with a style that lets the talent shine through.
