Kewl. Thanks, Lise for the advisory. We be going! (we being the non-cable family who listens to hockey on the radio like in the good ole days)

wah? You don't have cable?

Lil Me · Mar 17 07 11:19

Nope. We "Just say No" to advertizing and mind control.

Sportsdude · Mar 17 07 11:29

cool.
So let me guess on the tv channels
CTV
CBC
Global
CityTv
Knowledge? (the BC public air channel or something)
CPAC?

Lil Me · Mar 17 07 11:34

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.

Sportsdude · Mar 17 07 11:37

ah, so no tv at all.
Hmm interesting...
cool.

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!

*bless for Lil Me*

YEah, good for you lil me.

We succumbed to the digital box with Hi Def... I find myself watching alot more than I used to. I do watch alot of History, Discovery, and stuff like that.

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...

Really? they practice at 8 rinks? The bar is really good there.

Lil Me · Mar 20 07 04:28

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?

Sportsdude · Mar 20 07 04:57

will the puck bunnies be there?

Marik · Mar 20 07 05:07

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.
