It's not like FSU is USC at the current moment...

I'm all for throwing vandy or cully at tb for prospal. That would be a no-lose deal, IMO. Yeah, you could throw em Sharp, Keith. And yes, Lapointe can take draws if need be. Keith, any way you can find comcast up there on campus? Edit: Detroit Sucks!!!! Lineup: http://www.chicagoblackhawks.com/gamecente...asp?game_id=179 Bondra on the 4th line...? At worst, you HAVE to flip him with Lapointe...bourque/ark/bondra could be a decent line. The Cullimore/Vandy pairing gives me nightmares.

I see your point Critic. I guess i'm just used to sitting upstairs because i grew up at the Chicago Stadium with season tickets in the 2nd balcony. I realize it's not the 300 level height, but I am so used to watching hockey from up top. And yeah, i've also played the game my whole life, etc. However, with the current attendance at he UC, you usually can hear the nuances of the game from the 300 level! LOL.

They must have found out you are a high roller, wanted to see if you'd buy a suite or two. Good idea on their part.

Love that area. I've been in the 200 level a few times this year. That's THE best place to watch the game, but it's mucho expensive. 8 bucks upstairs works for me.

Finder's fee?

If it's the 5th, all i gotta say is, you must really like nashville

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) I don't like to sit anywhere else. 300 level behind either goal is where I WANT to sit. 326, game over.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 08:06 PM) I hope he puts on a show for the third of the crowd that will be Detroit fans tomorrow. Anyone going to that game? Damn theology final on Friday or else I'd so be there. I may go, but it's one of the 5 games that's on in HD from the UC. I will for sure be there Saturday, and by there i mean in Columbus, road-style.

There's absolutely nothing wrong in sitting in the 300 level at the UC. Perfect view of everything going on, and no it's not too far away from the play. I personally don't like the 100 level, unless i'm at the top of it.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 07:13 PM) Halfway home, fellas. One tomorrow and then my theology exam on Friday at 1:00. And then it's back to the comforts of the Chicago 'burbs. See ya at the UC

Well that's based on what other programs are on Versus, not necessarily because you don't know where it is - i assume you do. And games are only one on mondays and tuesdays on Versus. Not really a great flipping channel, as you won't find games on there randomly on all different days. I just don't think you'd gain many 'flipping' people who would actually watch, then watch more on purpose, attend games, etc. After all, didn't the espn2 ratings suck when it had hockey?

How many people legitimately channel surf these days and stop on something and suddenly have an interest in it? I don't think many viewers are missed that way. Besides, it appears people aren't channel surfing and stopping on their own comcast, fsn, etc. anyway.

Wow, is that ever tragic...he's definitely on my radar now, and I wish him all the best. That is one horrible string of news for the poor guy. Thoughts and prayers with him...

Vandy's been BRUTAL lately, and i've never been a huge fan of him. I'm fine moving him, i just hope Calder can actually produce something, because the stories coming out of Philly are terrible.

The people who care about hockey know about versus and what channel it is. I'm sure they would have made a better deal with a 'bigger' name network if it was possible. I'm assuming this was their best option, unless i'm shown documentation proving otherwise. NHL has been there for two years, if you don't know that, then you don't care about the sport at all, and putting it on ESPN wouldn't suddenly make anyone care that much more. One of the big problems with hockey is the fact that it's a complex game that not many people understand, or want to take the time to understand. Football, baseball, and basketball are all much easier games to understand. Oh, and the NFL has the gambling aspect driving the ratings up big time. That, and it doesn't translate to TV as well as other sports.

If we blow this game, it will be because we can't score on the power play, including 2 pretty long 5 on 3's.

Not bad, it's a bandaid without giving anything up. Hopefully he can help on the PP with Havlat and add some scoring to these top two lines. It'll be interesting to see how much he has left in the tank.

Boucher wasn't very good tonight, but I think he's fine as a backup goalie (unless they get Lalime back and he takes over). He can't play starters minutes and shouldn't, like some people have wanted (and trade khabi), but he was pretty good while khabi was hurt. He just didn't have a very good game tonight, which will happen with a backup in there. He was in because Khabi has the flu...otherwise it was his game. Hopefully he's recovered by tomorrow. Savard already said that Khabi will get the vast majority of the playing time, so i'm not too worried about it.

Stole a point, but damn it Boucher you were brutal, including the OT winner...Good God.

Yeah i'd be careful throwing around the phrase "very good"

Well you're typing, so at least both your hands appear to be in good shape still...
