idk, but i know people who can speak 9 or 10 languages. If you really like language, then don't stick to a number, just do as many as you want.

You can't get running comments from a player anywhere, not unless you have a friend who works in production for a network that carries games.  Currently OLN and I think NBC (for the few games it carries) will play edited snippets of things that a miked player says during a game.

I'm sure the games will be televised somewhere, but MLB has not announced specific broadcast plans or announced a rights deal with any network. Part of the problem may be that the tournament runs at the same time as the NCAA basketball tournaments, pretty much locking up a lot of dates for both CBS and ESPN (which does early round men's games and the women's tournament pretty much throughtout). That would lead me to believe FOX is the most likely place for games to air, although they may only be interested in the end of the tournament, like the semifinals and championship instead of all the pool games. \n\nThe only information I have been able to find for certain is that subscribers to, MLB.com web broadcasts will be able to get games as part of their off-season package, which they are charging $9.95 for. MLB.com also has a complete tournament schedule, with game times, for the entire tournament.

thats probably true...even though i hate to say it...i get cable and the only NHL games i saw all season were the stanley cup finals...they dont even play any games on espn or anything but i always see softball...its really depressing because i love hockey

I sincerely doubt it. The CFL has a hard time getting TV contracts in Canada, much less any other markets. Your best bet is satellite TV.

check www.nhl.com on how it is scheduled.  i believe it is determined in mid august every year.

OLN will have complete coverage starting July 1st. Phil Liggert, Paul Sherwen, and Chris Carmichael will be commentators. Check out the sources for exact time.

I highly doubt that they will be switching back anytime soon.  Gary Bettman is determined to mess up the NHL even more than he already has.

They've done a good job during the regular season and I see no reason why this won't continue in the playoffs. Bill Clement and company are polished and professional and I look forward to watching as much playoff hockey as possible for the next couple of months. I hope ESPN is crying in their worthless NBA beer for losing the NHL contract.\n\nGO SABRES!!!

Dish network also carries world cup soccer games.

Where do you live?  In the US, Canada perhaps?  \n\nI know for a fact that ART (Arabic channels on Dish Network in the US) will be airing the entire world cup matches.

It depends where you live.  In Canada I know I used to watch games on TSN (The Sports Network) but our local channels showed some games as well.  I dunno where it shows in the U.S.

I completely agree with you.  ABC used to cover the Games many years ago, and it was much more about the spirit of friendly competitiveness, much less about how the USA was gonna "kick ass".  NBC screwed it up.\n\nUnfortunately, though, I think very few of the athletes themselves even think in the grand, benevolent tradition of the Games as formerly presented.  Heck, when multi-million dollar endorsements are at stake - and when our athletes are not even amateurs but actual professional hockey players, etc. - I think the Games as we knew them are long gone.\n\nI especially miss the old coverage where you'd see some really unusual sports, just for a chance to see them - like ski jump or curling.  Now, if there isn't an American in the event - or, I should say, *favored* in the event - you can forget about the event even being held, as far as NBC (and much of the US public) is concerned.

Both of the people above me are right.\nFor this season, it'll be back in March.\n\nWhether or not it'll be back for another season is very up in the air b/c of this weird merger thing.

That sounds kinda like an ad.\nOr if you're asking (for you), call your local dishnetwork provider.

He's still there but, given ESPN's terrible decision to drop the NHL contract, he has precious little to do. He does check in once a week or so to give his two cents on the hockey world but that's about it. If you're a hockey fan, OLN is where it's at in the States and I'm enjoying their Stanley Cup playoff coverage. ESPN can keep their godawful NBA contract and continue to lose viewers like myself. Hockey rules!

Ever try reading a FULL responce. They aren't going to put in new rules, espically ones that dumb, because they don't want to lose FANS. My comment was that with the scoring being up this season it wasn't new rules this season but rather rules being enforced. All I was saying was they still didn't put new rules in. They never will. You think they would get new fans by doing things that stupid. May I remind you of the failed experment of the glow puck on Fox. Those of us who like hockey didn't like it, and no one started watching it even though they could tell where the puck was. The NHL doesn't change or add rules because they want to keep their loyal fans.
