Coyotes put up a good fight for the sharks last night. The west is going to be exciting near the end. And now the sharks are in first place in the league! I need to get center ice so I can watch all these games, though I did find a website that streams every pro sport on my computer, it isn't the same watching it on a 12 inch screen.

Ya I watch all my sport streaming but I have a 19 inch monitor in my small room hooked up to surround sound so Its not to bad.

I was watching the Panthers Habs Game last night(which the Habs played terrible)...In Florida $17.50 gets you a ticket to the game, parking, and some sort of combo meal(Drink hot dog and chips I think). Talk about an awesome price point and they still can't get any fans down there. It costs more for just a ticket to a Moose game in Winnipeg(AHL) which average around $20. Not to mention parking is $5 bucks and a combo $10ish. Twice as much for hockey that is a level below the NHL...crazy.

On a side note for my Organizational Theory class I'm righting a paper on the NHL's decision to expand in to non-traditional hockey markets.

I'm tempted to pick up a big monitor for when I stream games. I know I would get my monies worth, as that is basically all I watch on tv.

I think in some places it has actually worked out well, and in others, not so much. I don't know what is going through the lightning owner's heads though, it is like they are trying to loose. Trade Boyle and Luckowich, for essentially nothing, and then trade away the player they got for literally nothing. Good thing they got Vincent, but even that isn't helping them.

Maybe they could trade Vinnie to the Blackhawks for essentially nothing?

Big warm up for the stupor bowl today, Bruins at Canadiens. Kick some Canadian butt Boston.

Big character win for the Hawks over the Sharks last night, especially after an apparent 2-0 lead became a 1-1 tie over the period of a few seconds. The NHL still has a couple goofy rules on the books, but the Hawks gutted out a tough win.

I wouldn't put it past them. They don't realize that you actually have to spend money to put a competitive team on the ice. Oh well, sharks steal again from another team! Still can't believe the Thornton deal.

Very strange rule, never seen anything like that. Sharks didn't play their best, and against a young fast team like the Hawks, you are going to loose. Love watching the Hawks play, as they are just so young. That one goal that was put in about 2 feet in front of the goal was simply amazing.
