I knew the new locker room was going to look great but it’s AMAZING! I’m totally blown away! The picture of the ceiling with the logo dropping down is sick. Looks like the bridge of a space ship.

Not to sound petty…but I think it’s kind of funny that they have a new 8 million dollar locker room…with two $20 garbage cans. Everything in there looks so perfect, and then you have a couple of Rubber-Maid trash cans smack in the middle.

NHL Cities

Neat article running down the “entertainment” options in each NHL city. Would have liked it to be more in depth, though i imagine the out of town fan wouldn’t be spending more than a day, 2 tops with an over night stay. We know there’s more to Buffalo than wings & the Falls though to an out of towner i imagine that’d make for a satisfying trip, especially once you throw in the hockey game.

This extended break is already testing my patience. Friday can’t come sooner.

A small but bitter complaint

What’s with the noise-making banner ads? This seems new. And when I tried to turn the sound off (because there was no way to close the ad), it opened a link. I assure you I have zero interest in Monster Trucks: The Videogame (or whatever the hell.)

And get off my lawn.
