All 1,230 Regular Season Video Games To Be Played Starting October 13
LOS ANGELES, CA, September 21, 2004 - The NHL lock out may have postponed the 2004-2005 season, but disappointed hockey fans can still watch the puck drop in more than 50 million U.S. and Canadian homes when the defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning face off against the Philadelphia Flyers in the season opener of the video game NHL season on G4techTV. The hard-hitting action begins with highlights, scores and stats, airing daily on the network's sports program "Sweat," premiering October 13 at 10:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT. G4techTV is the only 24-hour television network devoted to games, gear, gadgets and gigabytes.
Judging by the image used in the press release, the games will be simulated using ESPN NHL 2K5 ... Kudos to G4TechTV for the idea; I'm not sure how successful it will actually be, but an interesting idea nonetheless.

Just take a flannel shirt and paint it red, Then draw a chicken on it, with two poker-dice for eyes, An' have it wavin' razors round its head ...

And even in a fake season, my Leafs will STILL find a way to choke in the playoffs. :)

and my Rangers will still be overpriced underachievers
Folk singers are always liberal pansies, but not me.....I sing for my fellow conservatives...care to hear "Shoot the Hippie out of the Redwood Tree" ?

Actually, when G4 did this last year (and Tampa Bay ended up winning, though they played the Red Wings in the finals), the Rangers actually made the playoffs.
Is THIS. (youtube.com). Its not the original theme...I think its very catchy, but I'm still undecided about the bagpipes at the beginning and end. More information and a high-res video can be found here. (cbc.ca) What does everyone think about it?
