The Critic Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 From the "Scurrilous" section of the Sun-Times: "Great news for hockey fans: the NHL season is back on. But hold it, Blackhawk fans - don't get your Chris Chelios sweater out of the closet yet. The season is going to be televised on G4 TechTV. For other networks, the NHL's current labor dispute might make this somewhat problematic. Technophiles know, however, that virtual athletes are never in a lockout. Beginning Oct. 13, Comcast-owned, G4 TechTV is broadcasting video-game versions of all 1,230 regular season competitions. Stanley Cup Champions Tampa Bay Lightning play the Philadelphia Flyers in the first game. Even the network's sports program "Sweat" is getting in on the action, with highlights, scores and stats airing daily. All that and more information also will be available online at www.g4techtv.com, according to the people's news agency, AP." Video-game simulated NHL games on television????

Brian Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Will they be playing with off sides? I hate playing video game hockey with offsides on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 The fans should support this. It would show the NHL that the real thing isn't needed. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaSoxFan Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 who would play and what difficulty would it be set on? Stupid idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 NBA Tv did this with NBA Live and a few games this year, and it was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Also, in regards to who's playing, I'm sure it will just be computer vs computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
