lady librarianParticipantAnyone know a place in West Seattle that will air hockey games? Specifically the Red Wings game tonight at 7pm.
April 23, 2010 at 5:54 pm #693064
CarsonParticipantMy House. Comcast Chanel 626.
April 23, 2010 at 6:12 pm #693065
AndyParticipantDown with the Wings!
Ahem..go Avs.
Might be able to catch it at Rocksport because it is on Vs (I don’t think any places in West Seattle have the Center Ice package). Check with them, though. Of course, around here you’ll be trumped by any scarf-wearing ninny who wants to watch a soccer game instead.

bsmommaParticipantCarson…..You took the word sout of my mouth! Go Wings!! You might try The Corner Pocket. They used to play all the Hockey games. One of the Bartenders was a big Wings fan. Oh ya did I mention….. GO WINGS!!!! :)
April 23, 2010 at 6:21 pm #693067
AndyParticipantAll this Red Wings love is going to drive me to drinking!
Anyone but Howard for the Calder!
April 23, 2010 at 6:22 pm #693068
bsmommaParticipantYou say that like it’s a bad thing………… :)
April 23, 2010 at 6:24 pm #693069
lady librarianParticipantThe Avs? Seriously? Go Sharks!
It’s the competing Seattle sports I’m worried about so the Corner Pocket sounds promising. My best luck in Seattle has been in places where the bartender is a hockey fan, Wings or not. But yeah, Go Wings!
April 23, 2010 at 6:25 pm #693070
AndyParticipantUh, good point. And like I wasn’t going to, anyway.

HelperMonkeyParticipantwe were able to watch hockey on CBC in the bar at Roxbury Lanes the other night.
April 23, 2010 at 6:43 pm #693073
jwwsParticipantCome on – give the B’s some love! Go Bruins!
April 23, 2010 at 8:57 pm #693074
AndyParticipantI will admit to pulling for the B’s against Buffalo.
April 24, 2010 at 1:52 pm #693075
bsmommaParticipantI am a happy Red Wings fan today! :) Did anyone find somewhere to watch it outside the home in West Seattle? Benbow couldn’t get it.
April 24, 2010 at 4:02 pm #693076
theeParticipantthere are a few staunch wings fans up at Prost. Another triumphant step in the wings march to yet another cup was witnessed there last evening.
April 24, 2010 at 4:47 pm #693077
bsmommaParticipantThanks! I may have to venture there tomorrow evening. :)
April 24, 2010 at 5:44 pm #693078
lady librarianParticipantI ended up at the Shipwreck Tavern – after also trying the Benbow first. They not only turned on the Wings game for us but played the Vancouver/LA game on the other tv. Happy night all around. But if there are multiple Wings fans at Prost, I may have to check that out too.
April 26, 2010 at 3:54 pm #693079
AndyParticipantGo ‘Yotes!
April 27, 2010 at 5:44 am #693080
HMC RichParticipantHas West Seattle been infiltrated from Hockey Town Residents? You know, I’m still mad at their coach for leading the Canadians to gold over the US in the Olympics.
I’m with JWWS. I call on the Gods of Esposito, Orr, Neely, and Bourque to lead the Bruins to Lord Stanley’s Cup.
April 27, 2010 at 4:02 pm #693081
jwwsParticipantHMC Rich,
Yeah! We got a step closer last night – don’t forget Cheevers, Sanderson and E.J. Go B’s!
April 27, 2010 at 4:04 pm #693082
AndyParticipantHockeytown is like Beantown – the teams that people think they need to like in order to gain some sort of sports street cred.
My 2nd favorite team is whoever is playing against Detroit. Once Phoenix finishes them off tonight, I’ll be pulling for a ‘Hawks/Bruins final.
April 27, 2010 at 6:01 pm #693083
bsmommaParticipantI am a transplant from Detroit, MI (Redford Township)……I Love the Lions and Tigers and Red Wings(oh my!). Even if they suck. It makes it fun for everyone when you have die hard fans for apposing teams. I don’t get into all the “politics” of sports. Heck, don’t ask me to name a player! My cousin would be so ashamed! I know that a Blue Liner is a damn good beverage! It’s an original hometown thing for me. Don’t get me wrong…..I love the Seahawks and Mariners (when they’re not playing the Tigers or Yankees) as well and I can name some of those players! I’m looking forward to a good game tonight! Go Wings!
April 27, 2010 at 6:26 pm #693084
jwwsParticipantI’m with bsmomma – I’m a Boston native and I’ll cheer all Boston teams regardless of their record. It’s also nice to see some of the original NHL 7 doing well in playoffs; some expansion teams and new rules like 5 minute OT then shoot outs suck IMHO. Glad to see the playoffs are going with the old day rules of OT ’til someone scores!
April 27, 2010 at 7:39 pm #693085
AndyParticipantAs an Avalanche fan, I am under a sort of biological compulsion to say bad things about the Red Wings. And to root for their demise. Always.
So with the Avs out it’s “Go ‘Yotes” for now, but I think I am a ‘Hawks fan for the rest of this one.
And yes, the shootout is awful, as is the system of getting a point for an overtime loss. There’s nothing better than a marathon, triple-OT playoff hockey game.
April 27, 2010 at 8:34 pm #693086
lady librarianParticipantDetroit native here so Wings fan since birth. I think it was probably worked into my christening. I remember going to see the Dead Things at a half empty Joe Louis Arena and as a kid so I still don’t take playoff games for granted.
Andykrist, looks like you and I are mortal enemies. ;)
April 27, 2010 at 11:16 pm #693087
odrokuParticipantBring on the haters. It’s nothing other than jealousy!
Besides, how ‘biological’ can a Coloradan be required to hate the Wings unless you’re under 15 years old? I’d say it’s more likely to have been a learned bad behavior which should be easily overcome with an appreciation for great hockey tradition and a coney dog or two.
By the way, fellow relocated Michiganders, there is a bar in Seattle which has coney sauce and Koegels imported for a regular Motown Monday feast (plus Vernors cocktails!).
Anyhow, Go Wings! I was going to offer that Prost has been known to put the Wings on TV, but didn’t know if that was coincidence or habit. Sounds like a good spot. May have to wander over tonight to catch some of the game.
