Rockford Power Issues

Well Friends, we paid another visit to the Rockford Ice Hogs... Here are the highlights. As we were waiting in line, some guy in a Blackhawks jersey started giving Dan the business about the Red Wings. The guy's friend was cool though. Dan quieted him down a little bit when he reminded Mr. Chicago that the Wings had won 10 Stanley Cups. I happened to be wearing my Habs jersey, but I didn't want to agitate the guy further by reminding him of 25 Stanley Cups that the Canadiens had won. Hmm, compared with what 2 Stanley Cups the Hawks have won? Spare me.

At any rate, it was then that we learned that the Ice Hogs were playing the Missouri River Otters, now the home of Mr. Jackman of the locked out NHL's St. Louis Blues. It was so cool to watch him from six rows up... he was schooling the UHL guys. At any rate, here's the disappointing thing, I wasn't wearing my Blues jersey. Silly Rabbit! That just shows me.

The other interesting thing that happened was the power went out about half way through the second intermission... the guy behind us said at least the generator came on this time. We waited, no bull horn, no word, no nothing. So we left.
