The Hockeyville special is on TV Sunday Oct 1st. Can't wait to see it. From what I read, the show is more about Salmon River (Hockeyville) than the game itself. Should be a great telecast nonetheless - in fact even better for that.
Look for great games from Higgins and Latendresse.
Look for me if they ever show the Senators "spares" sitting in the stands behind the goal. I'm sitting two seats below Chris Neil, slightly to his left.

I was outside doing some work as the time approached for "Hockeyville: The Game" to begin. I says to my wife, "Wife," I says, "please call me when they start showing the game." "Yes, dear (or Jackass, I can't remember now)." Half hour goes by. "Sweetums, did you forget about me and my little request?" "No, dear (or You Idiot, my ears were ringing from the table saw), they haven't started the game yet. I will call you, dear (or Pinhead, I couldn't tell, I was on my way back outside)." Two or three more of these conversations go by, when my wife says, "Look, Moron (I heard that one clearly), the shows over and they didn't show a thing." I have been so starved for hockey, that I was really looking forward to seeing highlights of the game. Makes you wonder if it had been Toronto and the Senators, would we have missed a single second of the game, especially if the Buds had won like the Habs did?

I walked past a restaurant yesterday that had a sign in the window that said, "Lobster Tail and Beer." I went in, since I enjoy all three.
BTW Did you see yourself on Hockeyville? I was lookin' but didn't know exactly where you were (I remember you sayin' you were behind a net.... but that didn't really help.)
Well, I did see myself, but I had to know where to look. The show was pretty good, but I wish they had actually showed the game, rather than a few highlights (which sort of became the Jason Spezza Show).
One aspect they didn't show was that as the teams were leaving the ice, the Hab players all waved their sticks to acknowledge the crowd, but Ottawa did not.
