Last night was the American Hockey League All-Star game. It is the other most boring professional sporting event in the universe. It comes in a close second behind the NHL All-Star game. The only difference is the AHL game is boring for fewer people.
The game was played in Worcester, MA at the DCU center, or the building formerly known as the Centrum. Jen and I talked about going but decided not to as the schedule was a little too tight, and we could better spend that little bit of money on Mac related stuff.
The only interesting thing about the game as far as I can see is a little coincidence. The winning goalie in the NHL game was Boston's Tim Thomas (also known as "The Man")... or, the goalie from the team I root for. The winning goalie in the AHL game was Lowell's Jeff Frazee... or, the goalie from the team I root for. Nice going guys. The AHL game was won by the Planet USA team... they are still sticking to the NHL's lame ass make-the-all-star-teams-based-on-nationality gimmick. In the NHL it was North America vs. Everyone Else. In the AHL it's Canada vs. Everyone Else. The PlanetUSA team (aka Everyone Else) scored 9 goals in the third period to win the game 14-11. Yeah, that's entertaining hockey.
That's about it for now, but in closing I will once again put up a myflashfetish mp3 player because I love the stupid little buggers. This time it's in honor of Bill Bruford's retirement from live performing. I don't have a lot of his music on this particular computer so we'll have to go with King Crimson only. Three songs. A live version of "The Great Deceiver" from The Great Deceiver box set, an improv called "Providence" from Red, and a improv called "We'll Let You Know" from Starless and Bible Black. Again, thanks for the music Bill. Keep 'em coming.
