You live in Denver, cover hockey, and have never been to or know about Sobo 151? It's the best hockey bar in Denver, where everything else will take a backseat to an Avs game (as it should be). It's located at 151 South Broadway. Have a Czechvar, if you enjoy good beer. Mike - (whispers) dude, he's right there. The garlic dip is served with lightly toasted bread, like a french bread. It is mostly cheese and garlic, served cold, and wonderful stuff. When drank with a Czechvar, which they have on tap, you will want to stay there forever. The blogging universe is definitely a threat to the print media. Otherwise, why would papers start blogs? But I have a whole post cooking in my head about the MSM and blogs and all that.

His attitude seems to have changed a bit over the last year or so. He makes it a point to talk about being detached from the game (which I respect...I want honest reporting and not homerism) and not being a fan of the AVs yet he still finds the time to take AVs fans to task over what he considers slights to the game (throwing hats out on the ice after a goal scored in the shoot-out?) While talking about this I must ask....didn't Dater's first story on the AVs v. Flames also say that Ryan had two goals? The last time that story was updated was at 12:24 on 10.17....what changes exactly where made to that article? I understand he had a publishing dead-line to make and that the change most likely happened after he submitted his article...but still... I've just kinda figured he's been feeling a crunch in his line of work because more and more fans are turning to blogs and boards for hockey information and that probably means a loss of revenue at some point for sports writers with a local paper. I'm not a Dater-hater, but outside of his book on the great rivalry between the AVs and Wings, I'm not a big supporter of him either. Most of his articles carry themes if not complete thoughts that have been discussed previously on boards around the internet hours, if not days, before his stories hit the market. As a hockey addict...why would I wait to hear what he has to say, when I have so many opportunities to discuss and debate in real-time the game that I love? If anything, the internet is probably going to bring about the demise of a sports beat-writer because of the immediacy (sp?...spelling has never been my strong suit...Dater has a leg up on me here) it offers. The only new thing sports writers seem to be able to offer are "quotes" from the locker-room...but as more teams own their own broadcast networks (like Altitude) even those quotes are given to fans right after a game more likely than not...There is no need to wait until the next morning to read them. I don't want to call him a dinosauer...but geez....I wouldn't want his job either. Not because it wouldn't be fun to fly with the team and report on them, but I just don't think there is good job security there. It's a fine gig if you can get it, but by all means, make sure you have another option available to you in the future. Also, as a word of advice to Dater, if I might be so bold....don't berate they folks who are most likely to be reading your columns. Keep that crap up, and it might be your last column.

There will be no fun at hockey games as bylaw of rule 801.b-2 in section 104.a of the NHL rulebook. Hadn't you heard? But yeah, I chuckled when I saw it happen but didn't make anything big of it. The Sportsnet announcers jumped on it and said "And you wonder why hockey isn't popular in America". I guess it's not popular b/c people enjoy it? Sure makes a lot of sense *rolls eyes* “They are not dumb, just having a good time.”
