Changing Platforms

Don’t get me wrong, I like wordpress for some stuff, but it’s hard to do fun things with the blog, like make changes, without spending any money. I just don’t have that. So, I am moving this blog to blogger. It is a slow process (I’m trying to work at the same time). As soon as it is finish, I will update here.

Poll: Which Blue Jackets, Blackhawks, and Indiana Ice games should I go see?

Alright, post your opinions or suggestions in the comment box please.

I narrowed it down to games which are feasible for me to go see from late September to mid-October (while my other half is away visiting family). Considerations I made in narrowing it down are the following:

• Is it a Monday-Thursday game or Friday-Sunday game?
• What time is the game?
• Do I have time to drive there (if working that night) and get home at a decent hour?
• Can I afford it?
• How much vacation time will I have?
• Chicago is a 2 hour drive; Indianapolis is 1 hour, and Columbus is 4 hours
• I am on Eastern Time, Chicago is on Central Time
• I work 9-5pm, M-F
• I can afford more Indiana Ice (USHL, junior hockey) games than NHL games (or at least can afford better seats at Indy)
• At least one game in Chicago, one game in Columbus, maybe one game where Chicago & Columbus are playing against each other, and maybe 2-3 games in Indianapolis

So, the game choices are:

• Pre-Season Games
  • Columbus @ Chicago, Tuesday, September 23, 8:30 pm ET (I will probably be in Chicago that day anyways)
  • Minnesota @ Chicago, Friday, September 26, 8:30 pm ET
  • Nashville @ Columbus, Friday, September 26, 7pm ET
  • Dallas @ Chicago, Sunday, September 28, 7pm ET
  • Buffalo @ Columbus, Thursday, October 2, 7pm ET
  • Colorado @ Chicago, Sunday, October 5, 7pm
  • Toronto @ Columbus, Sunday, October 5, 5pm
• Regular Season Games
  • Nashville @ Chicago, Monday, October 13, 8:30 pm
  • Nashville @ Columbus, Friday, October 17, 7pm
  • Vancouver @ Chicago, Sunday, October 19, 7pm
• Indiana Ice Games (all games at 7:30 pm)
  • Cedar Rapids @ Indy, Saturday, October 4
  • Fargo @ Indy, Friday, October 10
  • Fargo @ Indy, Saturday, October 11
  • Waterloo @ Indy, Friday, October 17
  • Des Moines @ Indy, Saturday, October 18

Good Luck in Buffalo…

Patrick Lalime.  It was such a delight watching you play for Chicago.  I will certainly miss that, and too bad I didn’t get to see you play in person.

Welcome to Columbus….

• Kristian Huselius
• Mike Commodore
• Christian Backman
• RJ Umberger
• Raffi Torres
• Fedor Tyutin
• Nikita Filatov
• (and although drafted last year) Jakub Voracek

I wish you all the luck and success in Columbus and hope that you will finally get us into the playoffs very soon

(still waiting on Pascal Leclaire to resign…..)

Oh Captain My Captain (Blackhawks style)

Jonathan Toews named captain of the Blackhawks squad, becoming the third youngest in league history.

So though Kane has the Calder Trophy, Toews got the big C on his uniform.
