Am I A Hockey Slut?

My weekend revolved around the Blackhawks to the extent that I almost feel like a hockey slut. Friday night they took on the Maple Leafs at the UC, and I went early to check out the Harris Club and the Theater Boxes. Both areas were extremely luxurious, and even though I do have a slight addiction to premium seating, I am currently on a fixed income, and will be staying in my usual seats for now. The other deal-breaker for me is that you have to buy both Hawks and Bulls season tickets to sit in those sections. I am NEVER buying season tickets for basketball. I don’t like basketball, and nothing short of Michael Jordan is going to change that.

Saturday I went to the Brent Seabrook ICE bowling extravaganza at 10 Pin in Marina City. I intend to talk about that at length during Monday’s DahlCast. For now, I will only say that I ran smack dad into the middle of Steve Cochran, beat Pat Boyle’s score and got ripped off come trophy time. Nonetheless, I had a lot of fun, and I’ll spill my guts when the hard disc starts recording at around 11:00 CST today. Also, the people who were assigned to bowl with me by the charity couldn’t have been nicer. I have bowling league tonight, and I was thinking that I’m bringing bowling back, just like Justin Timberlake brought sexy back. I’ll have to start working on a version of that song.

Sunday I was at another Blackhawks game. This one was against the San Jose Sharks and I got there right at 6:00 so I wouldn’t be tempted to go and revisit any of the new premium seating. It was Jeremy Roenick Night and they really did a nice job of paying tribute to old number 27. He even got a little weepy during his standing ovation. Chris Chelios was there in the skybox with him too, and they both got a nice round of applause when they were flashed up on the scoreboard. We should stop booing Chris Chelios at Blackhawks games. The Blackhawk traded him to Detroit. It’s not like he went there as a free agent. Brent Seabrook scored the game winner in OT. He had a pretty good weekend too.
