September 26, 200421 yr 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????
September 26, 200421 yr Will they be playing with off sides? I hate playing video game hockey with offsides on.
September 26, 200421 yr The fans should support this. It would show the NHL that the real thing isn't needed. LOL
September 26, 200421 yr 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.
