Scooter Chronicles

Got to watch a lot of hockey tonight. : )

Habs 5, Leafs 4
Both teams had one goal leads and saw them evaporate with some great end to end play. The amazing thing was seeing so few shots on goal, but goals-a-plenty.

Bruins 7, Penguins 6 - OT
Started watching this at the start of the third period with the Pens up 6-4. Thanks to more wide open play, this game turned into a tight barn burner. Sidney Crosby also notched his first NHL goal in the second period.

Predators 3, Mighty Ducks 2 - SO
Only saw the third period of this game as well, but what I saw was great. Low on goals scored compared to the earlier games, but still some great action. The shoot-out only saw one goal, but it was a doozy. The Preds’ Paul Kariya scored it, giving his former team the loss.

High Definition TV
I was always under the assumption that you needed a TV rated for Hi-Def to get the benefits of it. But is it true that you can get some benefits even if you don’t have a Hi-Def TV? It sure seems like it to me. The Pens-Bruins game was broadcast in Hi-Def and boy oh boy could I tell the difference. It was AMAZING! It literally looked like we were at the arena, it was that clear. I kept switching back to the Rangers-Devils game, and even later watching the Preds-Ducks game, I was amazed at how clear it was.
