You did this today? Or prior to today?

For clarity's sake, if you were a subscriber to the Best Buy e-newsletter you would have received pre-sale codes to purchase 2 tickets for Van, Mtl, Tor earlier today. The Best Buy pre-sale starts tomorrow (Wed). If you sign up for the Police fan club for $100US, you can buy 4 pre-sale tickets starting Thursday. General public on sale is Saturday. My question is this - is it worth the extra $25 per ticket to guarantee you get a seat? My follow-up is - is there a 'guarantee' you get to purchase pre-sale tickets to the show you want with a fan club membership? Or could the number of fan club members exceed the pre-sale allotment?

Did anyone get the Best Buy presales codes for Van, Mtl and Tor that were apparently sent out earlier this morning?

I'll drink to that.

I've never seen Levis on a tour schedule before.

I don't know had Dinghy had time for that foolishness when he should have been mulling over this - the trading of his all-time number 1 favourite prospect. TSN.ca Staff 2/3/2007 4:41:57 PM The Chicago Blackhawks announced Saturday that the team has acquired forward Kris Versteeg and a conditional draft pick from the Boston Bruins in exchange for forward Brandon Bochenski.

Tell me you don't actually believe that. The refs/league didn't want the NY fans to see their team shutout? Are you fucking kidding me? I hope that was meant as a joke or I clearly overestimated you, Leaf fan.

I'm 99% sure that was NOT the real Benjamin Franklin.

It was a but end not a spear, extremely dirty, and not seen by the officials. On the next face-off they 'let' Crosby hook Lapierre down to the ice. Way to keep up the standard of officiating, guys.

Would somebody please ask these guys to come out East again? Thanks, Sean and Dave

Fack, I just realized we're still in the Sens thread here. Welcome back Mike Fisher tonight!

The really question should be - will Montreal retire #33 before Patrick Roy becomes their head coach? Mark my words, it make take a few years, but he will coach the Habs.

Awesome ceremony. I'll echo the comments about Dryden coming out from dressing room with his mask and stick. What time was it when they finally dropped the puck? 8:55-ish? Looks like the correct response should have been "over, waaaaaaay over".

Your first mistake was believing that AD has a girlfriend.

Thanks Cupcake!

You know how the Habs love their pregame festivities. Here's how the game works: I'm going to set the opening face-off at 8:19pm ET. Now you pick Over or Under. Winner gets a kiss from Booche.

Speeza must have been watching the type of game the Sens have been playing without him. I think that was one of the best games I've ever seen him play, and he tallied a single assist.

Fussy Part - Terrible, terrible band name, awesome band. These guys have some nasty, evil grooves. Without setting expectations too high, I think fans of Do Make Say Think and Tortoise will love their sound.

Holy shitballs.

Jeez, Andrew Tidby doesn't get any respect around here.

Shotgun & Jaybird are indeed hilarious. Their description of their latest CD was something like "a soundtrack to everyday suburban teenage life, written in rural New Brunswick by thirty-somethings." The "There Are Days and Then There Are Days" EP is fantastic.

Funny you mention that Kev. I didn't bother watching the game but I tuned in for the 'annual' Bettman-MacLean Commissioner's Corner segment (used to be an annual thing pre-lock out). Bettman is a great salesman, I'll give him that. My favourite line was Bettman's "oh, my knees are getting weak" after MacLean admitted he was finally warming up to the new style of play. Hilarious. Cue the "this belongs in Rich Stadium" replies.

So, a couple things... I was reading somewhere that this record is all about Julie's divorce. I had no idea she was divorced. The Eric's Trip reunion show I caught last summer was very disappointing. Both Rick and Julie's solo sets were far more entertaining IMO. Everytime I catch Julie around these parts I'm reminded that Feist has made quite a career out of what Julie was doing 10 years ago.
