It may be that the playoffs are a nightmare for CBC.
They are a bigger nightmare for me!!No coverage of the Habs at all- one hockey programme nearly always featuring New York or New Jersey- coupled with the fact we are 5 hours ahead!
Also I haven't met anyone else who even knows ice hockey exists- soccer dominates everything here.(You should all follow Stranraer FC- also heading for a playoff!)
Anyway- c'mon the HABS!

If you have high speed, go to NHL.com at game time and go to the "Scores Page".  Scroll down to the Habs game and click on "Listen Live".  Will probably be the Carolina feed, but you will be able to follow the game.  I guess it starts at 12:00/12:30 for you?

Aren't the Bracknell Bees in a nail-biter on Grampian?

I was going to suggest the same thing, heet.


Since it's so late in Scotland, ScottishHab should buy (if he doesn't own already) a set of wireless headphones, plug them into the computer's speaker, and go to bed with the headphones on.

That might cause some nightmares.

I've found that the best way is to go straight to CJAD's home page. It opens faster and the sound is better than if you have to go through NHL.com or Canadiens.com. You also get the pre and post game shows...basiclly everything that's going on in Montreal...

That would double previous ratings then, perfect!

Maybe you should take a cruise across the North Sea and hook up with ScottishHab, so he doesn't get lonely listening to the game.


You could listen to it over a Guinness and a bowl of haggis.

If you combine Guinness and Haggis, do you get Higgins?

A double Higgins would be nice,  come Saturday...After that crappy perfomance on Good Friday Chelsea have just about sewn it up, so a good showing by the Canadiens would be just what the doctor ordered.

More likely Gaggis ("gag us", get it?)

Speaking of United, Rooney is just on fire. Sir Alex has been playing him at all positions (except keeper). I heard that Van Nistelroy won't be back next season -- Saha will replace him as starter. IMO, Saha seems awefully injury prone.

Well, United and Chelsea will clash in two weekends -- that'll be a great game!

But the match of this weekend is the Arsenal-Spurs Derby (note how handily they handled Villareal on Wednesday despite officiating that made Don Blowhardski look Hab-friendly)

Classic stuff!

No kidding. If Arsenal wins the Champions League and finishes 5th in the Premiership, and Tottenham finished fourth in the Premiership, Arsenal will bump Tottenham from its entry into the Champions League qualifiers.

Gotta love it!

Other good stuff Scotland has given us. Rod Stewart, The Baycity Rollers...? Perhaps not, but there's Paddy Crerand, Denis Law, Lou Macari, Alex Ferguson, and the greatest of them all MATT BUSBY!!!


My money's on Barca as well, and watch out Arsenal fans, Villareal are an entirely different proposition at home.

What about Jackie Stewart and my Mum?

And how these other teams are going to win when mighty Arsenal will remain supreme is beyond me...

Up the Arsenal!!!

You're welcome. Don't forget to go to canadiens .com to see the goals. It doesn't look like we'll get to see any of the Caroline series here, how about you?
