Does anyone else have this problem? I decided that I had soome time last night to listen to last night's game on the web. I didn't want to pay to watch the game on the AHLLive site, I just wanted to listen to the radio feed.
You know... the way I always USED to listen to the AHL games on the net -- via that little button that said "Listen Now" and would open up a media player window to the radio station. Piece of cake.
Not any longer. I screwed around with the damn AHL Live site for at least 15 minutes and also waited almost four minutes to "live chat" with a representative that didn't show up. So, I gave up. It seemed that the free option of 'listening' to the game is something far less desireable for them than the pay-per-view option.
I even tried using the game day icons on the Sound Tiger's website that had that little radio tower on the score grid icon. No dice. It brought me right back to the AHL Live screen that was giving me fits.
I walked away from the computer and kept track of the game via Twitter feeds of the Sound Tigers and CT Post reporter Michael Fornabaio.
Maybe I was lucky for them because the Sound Tigers shut out the CT Whale in the second of their back-to-back games with a score of 3 - 0. This was Kevin Poulin's first shut out since last January.
Wouldn't it have been nice if it was two back-to-back wins against the Rangers instead? Yes, yes it would. But we probabaly won't see a game between the Isles and Rangers until sometime around -- the 12th of NHL Hockey is dead to me.
Nino Niederreiter joined the growing list of Sound Tiger injured players as he was hit in the face with a stick the night prior. Not sure yet, but Marc Cantin took a hit from the Whale's McIlrath and left the ice and did not return.
New comer Chad Costello scored for the second time for the Tigers in only his second AHL game. Nice pick-up for BST as Costello lead the ECHL in points before signing a try out agreement with Bridgeport.
These teams surely don't like each other, and last night's game was another example. Each team received 24 minutes in penalties, but ex-NYI tough guy Michael Haley was not in the line-up so other CT players took his place in the penalty box.
Bridgeport plays again on Saturday at Webster Bank Arena when they face the Manchester Monarchs (the team I will be following when I move to New Hampshire in a few years). Let's see if I can actually listen to that game.
