Weekend notes

Written by Jibblescribbits | 24 November 2008

• Center Ice needs to make sure they put as many games as possible in "Games 1-10". I don't know about other markets, but some (i.e. my) market only gets games 1-10. Since the Avs-Kings game was on "Game 11" I was forced to listen to it on the radio. This is despite the fact that 2 channels within 1-10 showed nothing on them all day, two had both the home and away feed of a different game, and another two showed games at 11am and noon, and the Avs played at 7:30pm.
  
  I guess that goes with the NHL's mission statement: Let's put as much hockey as possible on channels no one has!


• More bitching about Center Ice: I realize it wasn't part of the "Game" but blacking out the Roy pre-game celebration in Montreal was beyond idiotic.
  

• Well, he might not be [in the lineup for the next Avs-Kings match]. He might be in the minors. He was at the minors in the beginning of the year.

  So that's why the Avs wanted Jesse Boulerice back from Edmonton, and into Lake Erie.
  
  LE Monsters vs Manchester Monarchs Feb 14th in Manchester.
  

  A St. Valentines day massacre? FYI this is an hour and a half drive for our good friend DD of In the Cheap Seats Mile High Hockey. I expect him to sacrifice Valentines day and take the misses to see Ziegler get pounded if he's on the Monarchs.
• Watching Georges Laraque chasing Milan Lucic around the ice in saturdays Habs-Bruins tilt was comedy at it's finest. It made a fascinating subplot to an already interesting game.
• The Sharks and Kings look identical from afar in their new 3rd jerseys (At least they didn't make the Coyotes mistake:).
