NHL Season to be Played Virtually

Posted by Zonk on from the virtual-skates-real-fans dept.

Matt Clare writes "G4TechTV will play the regular NHL season via EA Sports NHL game. G4TechTV Canada subsriptions might get a bigger boost than when they picked up Leo Laport."

  1. G4TechTV/EA by RomSteady · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is it just me, or does G4TechTV (and G4 before it) place an inordinate amount of coverage on Electronic Arts titles?

    Every time I flip by the channel, I'm barraged with celebrities plugging EA titles on "Players," or I get a lot of EA interviews on "Icons," or some other ad masquerading as a show.

    I know that EA is the 800-pound gorilla of the industry, but I'd still appreciate seeing more balanced coverage of the industry rather than just coverage of EA LA.

    That was freakin' hilarious! There was a public debate last night that I saw... Yeah, the head of the NHLPA is trying to convince us that the stupidly high ticket prices has NOTHING to do with the stupidly high salaries.

    Dude, don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining.

    As for Laporte, he's ALWAYS been on Tech TV Canada. I think what the person means is, when G4 merged with them, one of the shows that got shitcanned was "Call for Help". Canadians complained, so the Canadian version of the station produces it's own version of the show, hosted by the erstwhile Laporte.

    Wish I could get Tech TV still:(

    Showing a simulation of a sport with consistently low ratings on a channel with consistently low ratings. It's brilliant! If Ted McGinley was the host, they'd when an Emmy for sure.
