Looks like the CBC’s tuning into the fact that there is a huge punjabi population in Canada and is offering up game one of tonights NHL playoffs in Punjabi. Thats right, you can now listen to play by play in Punjabi. Whether you’d really want to or not is something on its own, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot of, “Oh Crosby Laigiya”, “shot mari tey GOOOAL…”  or other such antidotes that many may have become accustomed to hearing after having watched Playoff games with family in the past. All the same it’s a good development for the community on the national scene, especially when you consider both broadcasters (Parminder and Harnarayan Singh) are both gursikhs.

Anyways the broadcasts will be on the following channels:

• Shaw Digital Cable (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) on channel 291
• Bell ExpressVu subscribers on channels 249 and 724;
• Rogers Digital Cable customers in Ontario and New Brunswick on channel 460;
• Star Choice subscribers on channel 238.

I guess not.. BTW my bad I posted the wrong video at first…..Interestingly enough Gagan has since written a post about this video also..

After watching this video from last nights brawl in Ottawa, I feel like grabbing an Emery jersey. This fight was just to dirty.

Last nights sens vs leafs game was ill, and one of the things that made it so sick was the # of fights that broke out at the end.

So whatever, I was checking google video and I found this sick hockey fight.Check it out, I dont think I’ve seen UFC or boxing fights this intense.

Reminds again why back in highschool no one started with the Battalions. Hockey players are to ill.

Check out what Ken Tasker said about the fight afterwards:

Well first of all I just want to say Trevor Senn is one of the reasons I ended up playing professional hockey. My rookie pro season I was up in Thunder Bay in the United Hockey League. We ended up going down to Winston, Salem. This little guy bumps into me and I look at him like “what you wanna go?” He looks up at me with these bloodshot eyes and just starts losing his mind. We had a pretty decent scrap and I skated back to our bench after serving my time. One of the vets beside me said “Good job kid, you’re gonna make the team for sure”. I said “You think coach will be mad at me because I fought a guy smaller then me?” He looked at me in shock and said “Kid that’s Trevor Senn he’s the leading PIM leader from the ECHL.”Pretty much every time we played against each other over the years after that, we both knew we were gonna go. So that fight you see on here, I knew he was coming into town the next night and I was so wired I could hardly sleep. My family was in town, and in front of my home crowd, I really wanted to put on a good show, and I knew it would be a battle with him. So that fight was of days of pent up anxiety. In warm-up we were eyeing each other a few times as we skated around. I said to him “So we gonna go tonight?” He said “Yep let’s give them a show”. Off the face off, we both agreed to head to center ice. He was doing the elbow cranks and what not on the way there. The one thing I remember the most about this fight was that I was thinking to myself (when I was punching him): I am hitting this guy as hard and as fast as I can and he’s not dropping. It was like hitting a wooden post and it just wouldn’t budge. The final part of the fight I got some combos going and some rhythm and was lucky enough to end up putting him down. It was fantastic for me, because I was the home town guy and my folks were there too.
