WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5

  WannaBe: LA Kings have finally joined the 19th century and are now available on TuneIn internet radio.

I don't have to search all over google for radio feeds anymore. =)

But I am not getting LA feed, always listening to opponent's announcers.

  WannaBe: Ooops, I'm wrong, it is the LA Kings feed, all the ads are LA; just not Bob Miller and Jim Foxx doing the announcing/play by play.
