I think its pretty interesting that the CBC is in the final year of its contract with Hockey Night In Canada, and rumour has it the show will be jumping over to CTV next season. That means that CBC will draw next to no ratings, again, as HNIC is the only show that more than 400 people would tune in to at any given time. Sometimes I wonder if my tax dollars would be better spent elsewhere. How did you care for last nights' game, Alan? I thought we were coasting yet again until Smid saved the day by setting up Sykora for that beautiful breakaway. And Ethan Moreau will be sorely missed, mark my words.

Touche, Volo. And it looks like the hammer finally fell on Ken Hitchc-ock in Philadelphia. Bob Clarke stepping down is a bit of a suprise, but I suppose its better than getting fired. Here is the link to the TSN story.

Marvel Universe Online
I saw that. That was my default choice after seeing that Karnak was an NPC only. I guess there's always Moon Knight... I'd better get my xbox live account active again and switch it over to the 360. And I've never really played a cross platform game online. Is it pretty crappy?

There's this real loudmouthed teenager who loves the Avs. If he's working tomorrow I think the chances are good he won't be too impressed with Theodore. Talk about 'had it and lost it'. Oddly enough, the same kid was asking me about Arthurs Irbe the other day. I bet if Jose didn't have the ginormous contract Colorado wouldn't have a prooblem sending him to the minors to find his game. Let's see, I spent the bulk of my time watching Tampa and Washington tonight. In between periods I switched to Colombus and Pittsburgh. Crosby and Malkin together look like they could be the next Sakic & Forsberg. Then it was off to watch the shootout from Toronto. Close, but no cigar Mkreku? And now I see Marion Gaborik is on the shelf. Here's hoping he doesn't go all Tuommo Ruutu on us. Between he and Forsberg... <_<

TBH most of the superhero games have been enormous letdowns. You learn after a while not to get your expectations set too high. Although I have to admit I really loved Activisions' Spider Man movie adaptations. edit: Hey Bok!!

Marvel Universe Online
We'll have to come up with another plan. I have no intentions of playing any of the X-Men in this game. Beta Ray Bill or bust!! and Don is the MASTER of Wolverine, be warned

I just started my laundry, am about to eat supper and gearing up for a marathon night of channel surfing between hockey games.

Marvel Universe Online
If this game is half as fun as XML2, there could be some good times for us forum members. That is if Jags ever: A) returns B) buys a 360. We could have our own version of the Merry Marvel Marching Society!! I call the drums!

I managed a decent night in both of my hockey pools yesterday. I'm tied for second with my Alan assisted team, and I also crawled into about 1600th spot in the sportsnet pool. If any of you are interested in joining up in the latter, Here is the registration link. It's pretty simple: pick your players for the week by monday, and the top weekly point getter is entered into a draw for something lame. It's more bragging rights than anything. If anyone does join up, let me know and we can make a group thing out of it.

teh Smallville thread
I'll admit that this Green Arrow plotline isn't as ****ty as I'd thought it would be. At least he's a better actor than the **** they had playing Aquaman. I agree with Surreptishus, however, that it would be in the best interests of this show to dump Lana. It's like her storyline always seems to be an afterthought, as in " what the hell do we do with her now?" fashion. Aside from that this show is on 'status quo' mode for me. You kind of know what to expect, so it's not really suprising to watch, yet slightly entertaining.

And mentioning Steve Cropper made me want to listen to Booker T & The MGs Green Onions. It's has a bit more jam to it than the record version, and could someone please get that bass player another hit of acid?

I mean, I can see Steve Cropper being part of the backup band. His cred is fine. But the bandleader from SNL and former Hall & Oates rythym guy as well? Nu-huh!! And Billy Preston had a gift, I tells you. Tracy Chapman - Baby Can I Hold You total Lilith Fair action. totally great song.

Something tells me that Schmarthie could be convinced to stay up late quite easily. Buffalo wins again, and Philly drops yet another game. Right now I'm half paying attention to the Wild/Ducks game. I like watching Minny, but the minute I saw Pronger on the teevee I felt like I threw up a little inside.

Between Matt Carle and Gionta and Gomez I've rocketed up from the basement of my sportsnet pool to somewhere in the high 2000 of over 40000+ people. I don't think I'll beat last years top placing, where I managed to come in third for one week.

Tonight was a good night to have my center ice package. I split most of my time between the Pittsburgh/Islanders ( 5 points between Gonchar and Crosby) and the Tampa/Philly game ( I have four players in one pool, and three of them doubled up in the points department this evening). Now I'm watching San Jose make Detroit pay every opportunity they get on the powerplay. And Matt Carle is turning into a great pick in my sportsnet pool. Great call, Hurlshot.

I'm listening to the new Killers album, Sam's Town. edit: which turned out to be not too shabby. Jimi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic with a nice Cowboy Beebop video

What are you playing now?
are you playing nhl by any chance? I finished up my first round of the playoffs with a sweep of the Predators. Although I'd like to add three of those games went into extra time with me having to battle back from a two goal defecit in each game except the last. Now, it's time to face San Jose...
