Are there highlights to this? Because this sounds pretty epic to see!!
I know Cincinatti did this with the preds a few years back and other teams have. Last year Greenville had a Green 3rd Jersey.
Sweet... Love the design! Good for the Rwarriors. Too bad the NYR have an AHL team called "The Whale" trying to turn back the clock to a defunct NHL team after the idea of a befuzzled old geezer (baldwin). BRING BACK THE WOLFPACK!!!!!
Damn, I was really looking forward to watching some hockey.
Me too. I'm occupied Saturday nights, and can't watch those games. I pretty much only got Friday's, and the games during the week when they have them occasionally to watch. Any radio streams? There isn't one for our team, but the Whale's twitter said 1290 AM. They don't stream online though.
EDIT - Here you go! It's only a radio feed, but it's good enough for me. It's Albany's feed though. Go to radio when the page opens up. It's all the way on the right.

1-1 after two periods, Albany outshooting the Whale 30-8... Talbot standing on his head tonight, defense is piss-poor clearing the zone... exciting 3rd coming up!
