Odd start time, guess the 'Canes want to GTFO of Dodge early

Well at least we have a game to watch tonight!

Stay safe and warm everyone!

Let's go Flyers.

Yup.

And I imagine if you have tickets today, you're probably taking the day off anyways.

Semin named to Russian national team after an injury. Hopefully being named to the team doesn't have a positive impact on his game tonight like it has for many others.

Well just a bruise to Voracek's finger? hopefully hes back tonight.

6pm. Ready to go. Hope Jake's finger is ok. Silly Clutterduck.

Also, I've had my fill of shoveling for the winter, maybe enough for next year too.

NBCSN has exclusivity rights in the US for wednesday nights hence the game has to start at least 2 hours prior to or after their televised game starting. I don't think it applies if there is a canadian team involved.

Enjoy the snow folks as I gaze out my window staring at my green lawn, don't miss the shoveling one bit.

Howdy folks... Kinda funny we play the Hurricanes after that storm.

oh yea i love watching mcgewer and his misinformation

The competitive environment of youth sports too often has a way of bringing out the worst in its coaches, participants and spectators. Far too many are willing to go to great lengths to gain an edge in the name of winning. From coaches (and spectators) berating—or what they like to call “working”—the officials, to players utilizing aggressive tactics to “send a message” to an opponent, to spectator confrontations in the bleachers, it is all too common.

But every so often, likely far more frequently than is widely reported, something unexpected happens on the ice or field of play which warms the heart and restores one’s faith in the beauty and sanctity of youth athletics. Such was the case on a recent Saturday night in Fargo, ND in the midst of a tournament game between two bantam teams from Minnesota.

Great story, reaffirms my faith in the basic goodness of folks when I read something like this, thanks!

36 hours and I want to set my new laptop with Windows 8.1 on fire.

I hope for a good game tonight! 60 minutes. If not, I might end up like this guy:
