Now that our Winter of Discontent is in full swing, the bitterness and anger only seems to be rising from everyone. Both owners, players, and especially fans seem like they could boil over at any moment. Maybe that’s what this whole thing needs. Only then does it feel like something will be at risk. But there’s a couple themes from both sides that they keep putting out there that just don’t add up.
With the lockout dragging on and on, and showing no sign of stopping any time soon like a bad marriage between two passive-aggressive mutes, I have decided to up the content of our game program, The Committed Indian.
From here until the lockout ends, I’ll be doing a weekly Icehogs update, usually coming out on Tuesdays. If you’re already signed up for a full-season or lockout-filler subscription, you’re good. You’ll be getting these anyway.
If you haven’t, because we’re in the first week of no NHL hockey and we’re all feeling a little depressed, for this week a full season subscription will be on sale for just $50. That gets you all the filler issues — Icehogs and Bears game programs — plus every issue of the real thing when these assholes feel like playing hockey again. We’ll call it “Our Winter Of Discontent Sale.”
And if that’s a bit much for you, you can get all the Filler issues for as long as they run for just $10. Not a bad deal. Just hit the button on the top right of the site there, and roll up for this Magical Mystery Tour. Or you can use this link right here: http://77.104.162.54/~faxesfro/get-issues-of-the-committed-indian/

If you thought last night’s action was just too blistering that the Hi Def made your brain and eyes hurt, well then you’re in luck. Today’s matinee in Rosemont can be found on U-Too, or Channel 248 for local Comcast victims. Not sure if local DirecTV/Dish patrons get that on their lineup, or if they do where it is.The only hope is that it doesn’t go into a shootout again and cut into Green Acres reruns, assuming the roof doesn’t get ripped off the arena by the tornadoes in the area first.
I hadn’t been to a Wolves game since their inaugural season in 1994 on Hanson Brothers night, which was two lockouts ago. I hadn’t been to the Horizon at all since Adam Jones, Justin Chancellor, and Danny Carey were polishing off the last notes to “Lateralus.” So to say I was in for a new experience of sorts would be right on the mark last night.
I hadn’t seen the new re-model of the interior of the Horizon, and I have to say I’m a fan. It feels cozier than it did, the sight-lines for hockey are better than they were, and it just feels like a more-modern arena, whereas the old layout felt dated probably from the moment the place opened. The constantly turning concourse could have used some work, but there’s only so much you can do. And the search for a beer other than Coors is mind-numbing. If Killion ever makes the trip there he’s probably going to have a seizure.
Anyway, other thoughts on my night watching the Hogs and Wolves:
For those of you watching the game between our two most local, actually-playing professional teams, you can use this to discuss what’s going on. Or maybe just the frustration that we’re not talking about the opener. Or whatever you want. Fire.
It’s now officially our first NHL-less weekend. I won’t be navigating the fucking Red Carpet Ceremony trying to peddle Indians while suburban people look at me weird and the Ice Crew takes pictures on my spot. Oh how I’ll miss that. Anywho, what’s out there as alternates?
