Canucks/Hawks Post-Game Thoughts
Who's your daddy, eh?
I had the good fortune of scoring a free ticket to tonight's Hawks/Canucks tilt at GM Place as my boss took me to see the game, just because I am the awesomest.
The game marked the triumphant return of Patrick Lalime to the NHL, and La Lemon pitched a rather easy 34-save shutout as the Canucks made more mental mistakes than a drunken fratboy taking his Chemistry 101 final.
Since I got free tickets, I won't complain about the 'quality' of the game. For those who did actually pay for tickets, the game could best be described in a word rhyming with 'pulpit'
Both teams were playing the back end of back-to-back games, and were more conservative than Stephen Harper's cabinet. There was little passion, hitting, or real buzz in the building.

Now, going to the game with your boss means that there are a different set of standards to be followed. You can't act nearly the same way you can around your buddies or your significant other. I have a good relationship with my boss, but still...
Other thoughts from the game...
Now, I know standing in line for overpriced food is as much fun as listening to Earl Sleek rave about his Jazzercise class, but how lazy do you have to be to need to have your popcorn and beer delivered to your seat? Waiting in line for 5 minutes isn't gonna kill ya! I hope they mark up that crap 400%.

I believe it's because Kevin Bieksa was in the penalty box during that late 3rd period powerplay. (From the fighting major)
Bieksa is the goat. Nice tip-in buddy, on your own net! At least he made up for it a little bit by waking up the game with a fight. :p
I believe so. On the Blue Jackets site "Army of the Ohio", the listing under Chicago reads "vacant."
Dammit, Jes. I thought you were interested in that story!
