  1. The forecheck was awesome from late first on. Wore PC down quite nicely! I thought Poolman looked pretty apprehensive early on, but clearly improved as the game went on. His goal was a beautiful move and better shot.

    I was actually surprised by the chippiness considering an unfamiliar opponent. It appeared there was ample chirping going on.

    Tomorrow will be intense!

  2. The extra bright white ice is a camera problem. The person running that one needs to learn: iris, white balance, focus, don't leave your shot until off air. If the quality is dropping mid action it's probably your Internet or wireless. It's auto-adjusting to keep the stream going.

  3. They came out flying to start that period, but waned toward the end. Blown coverage and overall sloppiness on the breakaway, but that's obvious. Pick it up in the 3rd, no letting off the gas. Also, nice to see them scores couple on that 5min. Didn't happen much last year with that PP.

  4. I have a question for those with the Chromecast:

     

    I currently have my laptop hard-wired to my router, and an HDMI cord going to my big TV in the living room.  The stream works great.  However, I have another TV above my bar adjacent to the living room, and I was trying to think of how I could get the webcast to that TV as well and have the video in sync with the other TV (both TVs are visible from multiple areas in the room).   

     

    Would a chromecast hooked up to the bar TV accomplish this?  Could I cast from my laptop to the bar TV and have the two video signals be in sync? 

    I haven't tried it. It should be possible, but I highly doubt the video would be in sync, and image quality may suffer.

  5. My understanding is the difference is casting a tab vs. Netflix/Youtube where in the former, the computer still has to encode and play the video on top of sending it back out to stream it so if your computer can't handle/process doing the two things, both of which are intensive, that is what causes the lagging.  Correct on it not being the graphics though.  When streaming Netflix via the app, the Chromecast is actually getting the signal straight from the router/modem and the computer/device is only being used as a "remote" more or less.  In my situation, especially since I'm using wireless, I'm getting hit on both ends.  Regardless, I'm going to have to look into something else so I can watch the other internet streams without hooking up my laptop.  Just a matter of how much I want to spend and how much effort I want to put into something (HTPC).

    Yes, exactly. The nice part is the influx of these relatively cheap set-top boxes that can do the job. I built myself a small HTPC which I use for the games, but may end up repurposing that as a server/NAS and buying something small like a FireTV or NUC for the living room.

  6. I have a Chromecast and really like it for the apps it has but I can't cast/stream live events from my laptop to my TV, they get incredibly choppy.  I have no issues watching directly on the laptop or running it to the TV through an HDMI cable so guessing either my processor/graphics card can't handle streaming and casting it or my internet speed isn't fast enough, probably the former.  A simple box like that would probably solve my problems and delay me buying a new desktop and cords to permanently connect the HDMI or start building a HTPC.

    I bought a Chromecast right around its release, and love using it for music and Netflix. I tried it for Sioux hockey last year, and had a similar experience casting a tab from Chrome. The pc's graphics have zero impact on this, but your local network (not specifically your internet) speed  and quality have a lot to do with it. From what I understand, the cast-a-tab extension for Chrome has gotten better, so maybe I'd have a different experience if I tried now. However, a wireless connection is not ideal, especially one that has to share a casting session with the internet stream. A dedicated Chromebox, HTPC, laptop, etc connected to your TV should work much better and they free up a device that you'd otherwise have to cast from.
