In Seattle and need to watch the Penguins!

April 16, 2008 1:25 PM

I am staying in Seattle for a few days at the lovely Warwick hotel. However, I really would like to watch the Pittsburgh Penguins-Ottawa Senators playoff game tonight. Does anyone know somewhere close that I may be able to see it at?!?

cbcsports.ca has been playing them on the internet free, not sure if that's really atmosphere enough for you or even whether it's a regional thing but it may be an option.

Response by poster: that's totally a good option. I was wondering if there is a CBC station up here becuase it is so close to Vancouver, but my hotel doesn't seem to pick it up. And hockey doesn't seem to have much of a following with the folks I have been asking so far!

Best answer: Comcast in seattle carries the CBC on channel 99, which is analog cable, so any bar with cable Could probably show the game for you, if you ask nicely.

Best answer: This isn't an endorsement, as I've never been there, but this looks to be pretty close to you, and apparently has shitloads of TVs.

Best answer: The closest, best place to the Warwick is the Spitfire.

"Best" in terms of number of TVs tuned to sports, I mean. Not particularly fabulous in any other way. That Sport place by Seattle Center would be fine, too, just a longer walk.

Response by poster: Thanks for all the tips everyone. I get done with training a bit before 5 o clock, so it looks like I should be able to catch the 2nd and 3rd period.

Now I gotta pay attention a bit more to training!
