Are Blues practices

open to the public? Is there a schedule anywhere?

Fingers crossed.

Saw a twitter pic

from Panger of the new boards. They look so white and clean without all the advertising on them yet. Nice.

It's a shame that they won't be that way for long.

Here are the things I noticed (in order) at drinkscotch yesterday.
*Escalator NOT covered up, but blocked off with crowd tape. (also not running).
*White Boards.
*Glass the same, except in corners. They don’t slope down, just a straight drop from the taller glass on the endboards to the shorter glass on the sideboards.
*CRAPPY, shitty, and fucked up adverts on the ice in the nuetral zone. I hate the white background that isn’t the same white as the ice. Fix that shit…
*Roof is leaking. It was dripping right behind the Blues bench.
*Boards are REALLY lively. Very noticeable compared to the old boards.
*the blue pantless rat is still blue, still a rat, and is still pantless, but still brings awesome smiles to small childresn and mentally challenged adults.
*it is GREAT to hear Kerbs voice again, especially over the loudspeakers at drinkscotch.
*hockey is so much better not having to dodge flying douche towels after Blues goals.

I could go on, but I have some work to do.

PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
