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/

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?
I guess it’s a regular thing now. I mean, we’ve got nothing else to talk about. So let’s get to what we can.
It’s even more infuriating that there’s no NHL with the first update. Because normally I would see what Phillip Danault is doing in the QMJHL and I would picture him on the ice down the road with what I was seeing on the UC sheet. But I don’t have that picture, and I can’t see Danault doing any of this without some weird internet feed, and I just want to kick a cat. Because he’s didn’t stop crushing skulls this weekend.
Because we don’t really have anything else to do, we might as well and see what the Hawks’ prospects that are actually playing got up to the past few days, hmmm?
-Phillip Danault, cementing his place as prospect I’ve decided to be most excited about in the next few years, had himself a little weekend. In two wins for the Victoriaville Tigres Danault piled up five goals and six points. Last night in another Tigers’ victory, he had a goal and two assists. After six games he’s the second leading scorer in the league, with 12 points in six games. I guess we should hope this trend continues, no? A caveat should be that the Q is by far the highest scoring junior league, and numbers do get inflated. But two points per game is….well, it’s two points per game.
While we stare at people having a staring contest waiting for one of them to blink so we can have something to talk about again, some of the Hawks prospects have actually strapped on the skates in anger. I know, it’s a reach here. But we might as well check in with some of the kiddies.
