• NOT HOCKEY, BUT PRETTY DAMN IMPORTANT = Today marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.  (If you want an additional headtrip, see how often November 9th pops up in German history - whole lot more intriguing than some Mayan calendar date)
• Hell of a Hall of Fame class getting inducted today.
• Elliotte Friedman takes a look at the battle raging inside the NHLPA and furthermore offers up solutions to the problem.  Meanwhile, Buzz Hargrove resigns from said organization, and enter Donald Fehr.
• More than ONE HUNDRED players in the NHL are injured right now... and Nashville is struggling a bit more than most.
• Giguere to Toronto?  Marchant for Higgins?  Trade rumors abound in Anaheim.
• TSN's primer on all 30 teams' power play units.
• Has the Minnesota Wild organization resorted to ice girls because of low ticket sales?
• Note to self - don't let my agent diss my teammate via Twitter.
• The Columbus Blue Jackets are the next Phoenix Coyotes... or so Canada hopes.
• 
• I have yet to do a proper fanpost of the road trip to Raleigh, but the above picture was taken AFTER the John Deere Olympia (i.e. a non-Zamboni) "resurfaced" the ice in the second intermission of the November 1st game vs. San Jose.  With Dave Valentine as my witness - EGAD.

 

• From the same trip - Ray Whitney's 1,000th game ceremony.
• Not a huge surprise, sadly = Vesa Toskala's #1 role has been usurped.
• Defending Big D diagnoses San Jose's arch-rival.
• PensBurgh's take on the Penguins' loss to Team Teal.
• The Top 10 Saves of the Decade = gotta love #1, 2, and 8.  Not so much #3.

Bear Bergman, Campbell Award winner Mary Robinette Kowal, poet Naomi Quiñonez and fantasy/mystery author Kat Richardson. At The Make Out Room, 3225 22nd. St., SF, for just $3 to $5 sliding scale.

( Just frusturation, cut for language. ;] )

Regardless, lots of shots for both teams (we outshot, holy crap!) and good saves by both goalies! Andy had an off night for sure (although I'm not going to say he let in any bad shots) and the Bulin wall made some bitching ones! Both teams played really, really well and this really could have gone either way if it wasn't for our insane WTF penalty playing.

I've decided that the Avs have to choke when there is a record at stake. When Andy was about to make some records we got shut out by our former goalie. Tonight when we were going to set a francise record for wins (in a row) at home we lost. Oh Avs, what am I going to do with you? Hahaha.

But I have a question for you guys: Tonight two players- one on each team- took NASTY puck to the face hits. I'm not sure who the Oilers player was, but it looked like he got a puck to the ear and Hannan on our team took one to the face. The announcers were talking about how the NHL has been toying with the idea of making helmet visors mandatory but a lot of players are really against that. One of our players, Cody McLeod, got hit in the eye (I'm not not sure whether it was a stick or puck) and could have easily lost sight in his eye and said goodbye to his career but he's said that after the 3-4 weeks he's required to wear his visor he's going to take it off. You'd think that after that sort of scare he'd take every precaution to not lose an eye but I guess he's too tough. I know NHL players are big boys and can make decisions for themselves, but I think a visor requirement would stop a lot of absolutely needless injuries. I'm not saying they should go to college steeze full masks but I just think visors are a good idea. What are your thoughts?

They are all miserable in one way or another, but who comes right after House?

Is there anywhere in San Francisco where I could talk to someone in person about joining Americorps?

Their website is confusing.

Damnit, I wish Eames was here.

It was half past two in the afternoon, and Bobby Goren was decidedly beginning to feel the effects of a weird combination of jetlag, missed sleep, anticipatory nerves, and the strange part-of-me-is-missing feeling he always got when he was trying to work without Alexandra Eames’ familiar presence.
