I'm still recovering from last night's debacle in Los Angeles. I don't know who had it worse, me watching early into this morning as the Kings floundered against the Devils, or Roberto Luongo, who was yanked in the Canucks' loss to the Oilers.
Well, at least Luongo was paid for his night. My misery, shall we say, was on the house. (The Kings, worthless and weak, owe me a night of sleep.)
Speaking of the house, tonight's viewing is an easy decision in the Lounge. The big screen has the Flyers at Montreal tonight at 7:30, and the good news is that Center Ice is scheduled to deliver the TSN feed. TSN has far and away a better production than the CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, which grows increasingly stale once the game stops and the chatter begins.
CBC's Hotstove feature, which used to be good, is now a weak newspaper notes column with lips that move. TSN's studio show and between-period features are more likely to make you think. They do not depend on a smirking ringmaster and a clown with a taste for loud suits.
At 10, Colorado is at Calgary (Center Ice/Altitude feed) and that goes on the big screen. The medium screen will have St. Louis at Vancouver (Center Ice/Fox Sports Midwest feed). That game also starts at 10.
The smartphone gets the night off.
