MONDAY

I'm not usually a big fan of all star games but the one at Max Bell in Calgary on the weekend was great. A 14-13 score obviously meant there was no hitting in the game but this wasn't the lazy skate up and down the ice NHL game. These guys were flying out there.

Pontiacs fans will be happy to know that while he didn't get on the scoresheet it was Ashton Hewson who won 3 straight faceoffs in the offensive zone with his team down by 1 to give them the chance to tie it.

Don't know if this was an official motion that needed a vote but expect players who get called for fighting while another fight is in progress to pick up a three (3) game suspension from this point on.

Ok.. so I'm fine with Pittsburgh winning the Superbowl and the chances of the last second hail marry working were probably not good but why when I'm watching games in October that I don't really care about do I have to sit around for 4-5 minutes waiting for a booth review of a replay that looks obvious the first time you view it but when in the Superbowl there is a incomplete pass/fumble on the decided play do they not spend more than 14 seconds on it? Sure they call for the review from upstairs in the final two minutes but did the referee even go look at it? Oh well.

The big news out of Calgary on an NHL front had a lot to do with this song. It's the work of the Fan 960.

I've been told by a number of people that they had problems logging in to watch the all star broadcast. Sorry about that. You missed a good game. If it is the last AJHL all star game they are going out on a high note.
