Post by: Lise on Mar 16 07 03:21
For the die-hard Canuck fans out there, you can watch your favorite team play for free.

  The Vancouver Canucks would like to invite all of their fans to attend an open practice on Saturday, March 24th.

nope.  no channels.  nada.  no antenna set up.  Need to put forth some effort and go rent a movie if I want to watch anything on tv.  Call me weird, but I like it that way.

 I have so much respect for you! Over the last couple years, I have been very good at turning the TV off. I have a nice LCD TV and entertainment centre, but mostly for movies. I have just 4 channels off of the antenna. Good enough for me. As long as I can get HNIC on Saturdays, and a bit of news. Strangly enough, my kid seems to have an amazing imagination!

An open practice? I thought they always practiced at 8 Rinks so you could drop in and watch them practice anytime. Sounds like a clever way to make $ to me...

FREE tickets.  FREE.  ready my lips: FREE.

  Yes, they usually practice at the 8 rinks, but they won't fit every fan and his dog into the bleachers there, will they?

Well yeah it's free, but they'll make some $ off merchandise / food stands right?

Oh yeah that reminds me, I was at a Canucks game a few weeks back (vs Avalanche) and they had this contest in the 2nd intermission where a lucky fan tries to shoot a puck into a small opening in the goal and gets a prize(s).
The guys gets 3 chances, and he scored the 1st one (from inside the zone) ... I forget what he won, he missed the 2nd one (from the blue line), but on the 3rd try (from center) he scored and won a $10000 London Drugs gift certificate! Whole crowd gave him a standing ovation. I didn't even know $10000 gift certificates for LD existed.

 well, er, ah, yeah.  if you want to be cynical about it.

 or-- it's corporate goodwill/marketing/advertizing.
