Thursday Night Pre-Game Movie: Anything but Employee of the Month. Louis CK never starred in an awful, awful movie that didn't need to be made. Why couldn't Dane Cook have copied that from him too?
Friday Afternoon Pre-Game Song: "Shame" by Stabbing Westward. Technically, Stabbing Westward is known more these days for the song "Save Yourself" which is played in the trailer of every action movie, but I always liked "Shame" better.
Games I'd Want to See If I Had Unlimited Funds: Miami at Michigan State. Both teams have an outstanding record, but haven't really been tested yet. This weekend should help tell us which of these teams are for real.
Controversial Play That a WCHA Official Will Probably Screw-Up: Something that is clearly explained in the NCAA's Points of Emphasis memo.
Cliche Arena Song of the Week: "Come on Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot. Yes, they actually spelled 'noise' like that. My brother once played in a high school hockey game where this was the only song they played at every stoppage of play.
Picks to Click
Last week: 1 goal, 0 assists, 1 save, 3 goals against, one loss. I bet that one save was freakin' awesome though.
Forward: Blake Wheeler
Defenseman: Jack Hillen
