Hotel Figueroa bar (between 9th & Olympic on Fig). I'm actually staying at this hotel for the game because it's about a block from the Staples Center, though this is the bar I'll be at after the game. Riordan's Tavern also on Fig, between 8th & 9th. There are also a ton of places in L.A. Live, the complex that the Staples Center is in (also has Nokia Theater). http://www.lalive.com/content.php?section=...age=restaurants

Requisite "TSN Sucks" post here. Can they PLEASE for the love of Thor, FIX THEIR DAMN AUDIO?!?!??!

NO ONE CAN STOP THE FRANZEN.

And, they didn't show the damn faceoff for the 3rd period. Dammit TSN and the NHL Channel suck.

Dammit, the TSN feed sucks. They've called Cary Price Carey Fisher (wasn't he an NHL referee?) at least 3 times. And, the volume for the announcers fades in and out. What is up with that? I know it's not the NHL channel or other TSN stuff because their volume is fine. Oh well, at least they are using the Hockey Theme.

Appetizer? Hrm...must meditate on the topic since I'm coming down from LA (not my house), so I'll be limited to what I can score from a local Vons/Ralph's. Any ideas?

Is this still on for the 29th? I'm planning my weekend out, which will include a trip up to the LA car show at the Convention Center. Do I need to bring anything? Mrs. andyinsdca is coming along, too!

Nov 8: Maybe 22: Maybe not... 29: Best of the 3, since it has the advantage of being around thanksgiving and not much will be happening, I think I'm moving soon (well, assuming the loan comes thru, house passes inspection, etc). so the next month or 2 will be very exciting for me.

Holy crap! I'm in Detroit when the Wings are playing a game. I can afford tix and can get down to the Joe. Anyone here interested in meeting up for a pre-game dinner/beer? I'll be coming in from Pontiac, so meeting somewhere near the JLA would be better than driving to say, Warren and then over to the Joe. If you're interested, drop me a PM. Or, if you have tips & tricks for getting to the Joe, parking, &c., I'd appreciate those, too. Thanks, Andy in San Diego Pontiac

Section 207, Row 2. These seats kicked ass! And the game was a blast, of course. Here is the view from my seats.

Section 207, Row 2. See ya there!

You're new here, aren't you? I won't go into what the Cup means to the players and the respect that fans show for the Cup, how seriously it is taken, etc. Joe Elliot did what he did ON PURPOSE to disrepect the Cup (and by connection the NHL and its fans). FARK DEF LEPPARD

I've started my passive-aggressive war on Def Leppard! Today, at a Barnes & Noble, I turned all of the Def Leppard CDs upside down.

Apparently, CBC isn't getting the serious responses they hoped to get http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/p...theme-song.aspx

Use my tab file, convert it to a CSV (comma delimited file) and then import it using these directions: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin...amp;topic=13745

I guess my linky no worky for some people...

I made the schedule (quick & dirty) into a tab-delimited text file, so you can import it into Outlook or whatever. Go to http://andyandnoreen.com/redwings.html and then right-click/save the text file at the link. The times are all Eastern time. For bonus ninja points, if you are not in the eastern (US) time zone, change your PC's timezone to eastern, import the text file, then set it back to your real time zone, then all of the times will be right. (this worked for me in XP on Outlook 2007). This file and the instructions come with no warranty. Offer not valid in all 50 states. Professional drivers used. Do not try this at home. May cause drowsiness, headaches or priapism.

I just came here to post the same article. It's a sad day for hockey fans

Any RWN-SD people want to get together on Sunday for the Predators game and the Howe birthday celebration?

And on Center Ice, I'm getting the CBJ feed. And what player are they featuring right now in the 2nd intermission? Bret Lebda. A Red Wing.

Do you think that the electric co. that's advertising would deliver the bubble hockey game to San Diego? /watching the FSN Ohio feed //Center Ice pakage FTW ///slashy goodness!

Huh...every time I open a bottle of beer, the Wings score about 30 sec later. I see what I must do now. :beerbuddy:

That wasn't Dom's fault, was screened. Oh well.

About freaking time! Sheesh!

I can has real goalie now?
