HD Hockey- OT Sabres 4 Lightning 3 - SO Canadians 4 Penguins 3

HD Hockey cannot get any better than last night. Sidney
Crosby and company rallied the Penguins back from a 3-0
deficit with a 6 on 3 goal by Ryan Whitney with 1:52 remaining
in the 3rd period. After a scoreless OT period, defenseman
Andrei Markov took the sixteenth shot in a scoreless shootout
and won the game for the Canadians.

The Sabres/Lightning game was just as exciting. Tied 2-2
after two periods. The Lightning took a 3-2 lead on
center Vince Lecavalier's goal with 13:46 remaining in the
game. Sabres defenseman Nathan Paetsch tied the game
with 6:47 remaining. With 40.5 seconds left in OT, Sabres
left winger Thomas Vanek scored the winning goal.

Both of these game were available in HD on Dish Network
NHL Center Ice last night. I recorded each game on my
dual tuner Dish Network 722 HD DVR while watching the World
Series, occasionally checking the score at station breaks.
I was then able to watch the third period, OT and shootout
of each game while fast forwarding in about 40 minutes.
With an HD DVR, you can multitask and catch all the action.
