My kid ran into Pierre McGuire at a bar after the event. So there's that....

The panhandlers were particularly aggressive tonight. I was harassed by four of them tonight. There was the typical guy asking for bus fareOne yelled F--- you! when I ignored him. Too bad. It was a fun night otherwise.

Friend bailed so selling a pair of tickets to the skills challenge if anyone's interested. Section 206 row N. Looking to get back the $180 I paid for them. Pm if interested

Looking at the price and location is exactly why I didn't exercise any of my STH options on the ASG. I'd pay like $20 a pop for a skill challenge to anything. That was probably $150 a pop in my section.

It's good for the team and the city but it's not worth anything close to the price.

I'd rather have the draft with more frequency and forget the ASG.

I ventured to the slide yesterday after work, it is fun, but VERY slow. Hopefully they find a way to speed it up or will be painful. Only using 1 of 2 lanes (not sure if it's a safety thing, insurance, etc; come to think of it maybe the folks not doing it from the top use the inside lane but very infrequent) so we get there around 6 and line was maybe 80 deep and took 1:15 to get it over with. Again the 10 second slide is fun, just the fact that only operating one line is they push someone down, takes maybe 15 seconds, then another 20 seconds or so until the person is out of the tube until they send next person.
I'm hitting the skills saturday (and honestly will probably be more entertained by that then the game), game Sunday and have pair of tickets to the convention center so trying to figure out wheter to hit that tonight or tomorrow?
But apart from the slide taking way too long it should be a great weekend!

And Kevin isn't dancing. It's the NHL's party.

And a corporate one, at that.

Caveat: I've never really cared for Kevin's deal, but there are lots of folks who do, and I'm cool with that.

Having "that dancing fat guy in Columbus" is an opportunity for folks from across the league's fanbase to see what a game is like in Columbus. Most rinks have a couple "things," and I'd hope, as a visiting fan, even for an event such as this, for an opportunity for experience them.

And our "things" are the cannon, Leo and Kevin. Two out of three ain't bad I suppose.

Anyone know a seating chart for the draft? My dealerships owner gave me FL1 row BB. Not sure if I'm going to use them or not.

For the record, the dancing fat guy ain't my "thing."

Gross

Like it or not (and I don't but it's not up to me, witness the chili chant), Kevin is one of the "things".

Enjoy the weekend folks! Your fanbase deserves the events and the attention that it is getting.

You think you can use "you" instead of "we" when it comes to CBJ fanbase? We don't let you out that easily.

Curious how much "memorabilia" is? During the jersey reveal I saw a cool sweatshirt I wanted to get. Not on NHL.com. Wanted a puck(go along with my inaugural, stinger, draft pucks), not on NHL.com Jersey customization? Nope, not on there either.

Sure am glad the Blueline web-site sends you to NHL.com so I can't find anything I want.

I got FL2 Row KK. I saw someone else earlier posted they got SEC2 Row J

I think all seating will be great due to small crowd allowed. You can definitely see a "FL2" sign in the first picture below by center floor section. In second picture, you can definitely see "Section 2" sign next to the center grandstand. So, FL1 will be on floor most likely to the left side when facing stage and FL3 will be to right. And SEC1 will most likely be grandstand to left of Section 2 and SEC3 will likely be the grandstand to the right.

I'm guessing the Floor seats will start with Row AA and work up. If they started with Row A and went to Row's KK, then there would be 37+ rows on the floor and it looks like there are only about 15. The grandstands must start with Row A and go up from there.

I think you are correct. I have row F in Section 3.
