Toronto, ON
1:30 PM: OK. Here we go!!!
1:33PM: I'm off to a late start but it appears I've not missed much. Went deeper than expected in a poker tournament, busted just shy of the money (%&@#!) and it appears all that's happened was the opening ceremony.
1:37PM: Blackhawks powerplay. The rink looks great on TV. I will be flipping back and forth between CBC/NBC. Pierre McGuire is doing commentary on NBC so there will be some jacked-up analysis. 5 on 3 now for Chicago. 1-0 Chicago. Shit.
1:44PM: I am going to flip the channel every goal. Now I'm on CBC and the Red Wings are on the PP. This really looks great on TV.
1:47PM: Just noticed the advert in the center ice circle. Will this space soon be for sale at NHL regular season games? Things are chippy. Red Wings are back on the PP. Daniel Craig's new flick Defiance looks pretty cool.
1:53pm: 1-1 for the Red Wings! Haha! Back to NBC.
2:00PM: 2-1 Chicago. Now they're back to the PP. All my post times are Eastern Time Zone.
2:14PM: 3-1 Chicago. End of 1. I am watching Coach's Corner with Don Cherry and Ron Maclean on CBC.
2:22PM: Coach's Corner was OK. Don covered some Blackhawk's history, Justin Morneau was there. He was being honored for being named The Canadian Press male athlete of the year. They say that Righteous Kill is no good, but with DeNiro and Pacino I feel obligated to watch it. I am over to NBC to begin the second period.
2:34PM: 3-2 Chicago. The NHL has to be loving ll these goals. We went to Rancho Relaxo on College St last night for NYE. Caution Jam was playing. It was fun. Got pretty drunk and we didn't crash until around 4:00AM. In no particular order here are some songs I remeber being played: Iko Iko, New Minglewood Blues, China>Rider, West LA Fadeaway, Jack Straw, ...I'll add more as they come to me. Ha ha.
3:03 PM: 4-3 Detroit! Datsyuk just scored to put Detroit into the lead on a beauty. Reebok is running a contest where you need to identify the player without their logo on the back of the shirt. End of the second period. I will be watching NBC for this intermission.
3:18 PM: How does Mike Milburry get work? He had GM talents rivaled only by Matt Millen yet here he is on NBC and TSN up here in Canada. Why does everyone think he knows what he's talking about. That's never been proven. He will take the oppisite side of an arguement just for the sake of doing so.
3:32 PM: 5-3 Detroit. The Big Red Machine is rolling. I'm off to CBC...
3:42 PM: 6-3 Detroit. I missed the goal as I was ordering a pizza. 40 minutes or it's free. The countdown is on. I'm back to NBC. They are doing a pretty good job. NHL should get some good numbers for this and hopefully made some new fans. Khabibulin is in net for Chicago now. Wings rule!
3:52PM: Take me out to the Hockey Game has just been performed. I guess they had to do it. Both jerseys are great. I would love to see this rivalry heat up again. It'd be great for the NHL.
4:04 PM: Red Wings are going to win it 6-3 it looks like. Pretty good game especially from the Red Wing's perspective. 6-4. Chitown scored with 10 seconds to go. Game over.
