Does the NHL not do games in HD?

[gr8slayer]

Outside of NBC I can't find any games in HD, I can't watch that crap in standard def.

Or do you have to buy the package from DirecTV?

MSG in Buffalo shows all the Sabre home games in HD

As stated above... NBC, Vs. NHL Network, HD Net all have HD games regularly. Additionally, a large number of local networks that cover specific teams have HD coverage too, but you'll be hard pressed to get it outside of there normal coverage area. Some systems that carry the NHL Center Ice package carry some games in HD, some don't... mine unfortuantely does not, despite me *****ing to the contrary numerous times.

MSG has Sabres games in HD, NESN has Bruins games in HD, FSN NY has the Devils, FSN Detroit has the Red Wings, etc, etc.

All I know is that the Sabres vs Rangers game was horrible.

HDNet has at least one, I think 2 games a week generally speaking. They tend to show the Western Conference a lot more though. Especially Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, and Colorado.

Schedule is here:

Yeah, they're pretty much like Fox and ESPN when they ran hockey telecasts.

They probably show Dallas because it's Cubans network.

Thanks for the advice, I'm still trying to like the game of hockey but so far I haven't been able to get the same feeling out of it on T.V. like I get at the games. I'm hoping that watching it in HD makes it a bit more exciting.

To me, hockey in HD vs. SD makes the biggest difference. The ice looks so washed out, just a big white blur in SD, HD really defines everything much better.

Nothing will compare to watching it live though, it's by far my favorite sport to see in person.

Next to football I must admit it is a lot of fun to watch in person.

Football has too much down time when you watch it live compared to hockey.

Re: Does the NHL not do games in HD?

just watch the games......everything will be in HD long before it has to be - in fact I can't wait then the *****ing can stop. Someday when there is "realvision" where holographic images put you in the game people will still ***** because they are not actually there.

Re: Does the NHL not do games in HD?

Versus has them all the time.
