Bad Day for Me, Good Day to Have Hockey

Well, I had a hell of a day. Actually, it was only a few things. It started with work, where we were loading out the Nutcracker. Your truly took a little tumble and fell backward onto a pile of stage weights. My back is pretty scrapped up, but it could have been worse. Then, when [...]

Snow Day!!! (very photo heavy)

If you don’t pay attention to the weather outside of your area, or just don’t even care, it’s snowing like a mother here (Dear Canada, I don’t care how much it snows there.

Thin Air: Bad Night For the Home Team

Just a quick hit or two, from my sleepy brain:

There was only one win by a home team Tuesday night (Wild)
There were three teams to score 7 goals
There were 3 hat tricks in the night (Blake, Brunette, Sturm)
The Nutcracker was Tchaikovsky‘s least favorite composition he wrote (look, I give you the hockey, and throw in [...]

The American Hockey League team owned by Dan Gilbert will be the top affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche, Cavaliers officials confirmed Saturday.

Gilbert, owner [...]
