[AlphaLackey]

Why do I suddenly have "Space Oddity" playing in my head?

Seriously though.. my god.. all those buttons.

"Ground Control, this is Scoreboard One, I'm ready to put the Adam Lowry montage up."
"Check ignition, and may God's love be with you"

"Sip your liquor drink, put Pardy's helmet on"

Seriously, you know what version was awesome? Kristen Wiig's from the Walter Mitty movie. I wish there was a full version with Ben Stiller and her doing it acoustic like they half-did in the movie.

... hold this reference for when we play Dallas, after all their trades, ".. and the Stars look very different to-day-a-ay"

Well played

I have not seen that movie but I will check it out because that sounds like a great version of an all time tune.

I love that song.

True story: Years ago, when I made a big jump in my life and pulled up my stakes and moved back to Winnipeg and went into business for myself, I thought about it long and hard. On that last day I thought about it, I went for a drive and put some music on, kind of an inspirational playlist, and told myself by the end of the drive, I'd know for sure one way or another.

I forget most of the songs, but I remember "Carry On Wayward Son" (I requested it and they played it the day I moved out on my own for the first time), Hilary Duff's "Fly", and when Space Oddity played, that was when I knew. And even though the song ends in the objective failure of being lost in space, even failing can wind up being the greatest reward (being one with the stars and the universe for the rest of your life). So yeah, I found it oddly comforting.

Anyways, I found the version. Man, she has such a soothing voice.



The best part? At 3:20, when David Bowie sings "Tell my wife I love her very much", you can hear Kristen Wiig softly sing "She knows" along with David. Such a wonderful touch.

... and the scene from the movie that I really wish they'd do the whole cover in the style of:

Oh Man, with that screen, power ring and a Space Oddity video montage, that Home Opener introduction is going to look and feel fantastic from the Loge. <goosebumps>

Damn, that just makes me want to see an up close and personal of the loges now. Why have the loge pictures dried up?

I looked up the thread on Reddit and the guy to took the scoreboard picture said he'd try and get a picture of the loge seats and post it on Monday (today). Hold tight.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

I deleted the pic from here and on reddit to save the guy who posted it. Buddy had a NDA and he must've gotten in trouble.

Beyonce tried to get this removed from the internet. It's impossible.

Maybe it's a lifetime of being a pro wrestling fan, but neither that outfit nor expression really strike me as that odd...

Walking through the MTS Centre today and they've got metal detectors by all the entrances. They're off to the side on wheels so not sure if they plan on just putting them in place for NHL games. I believe NHL directive was that all the arenas had to have them this upcoming season.

That's what I expect as well. There was also a directive from the NHL to not allow re-entry back into the building once you leave. Not sure if or how TNSE will implement that policy.

If you leave and come back, couldn't you just go thru the same security screening process and be let back in? That would only make sense, but I guess NHL may think otherwise.

Oh, boy. I know a lot of people who like to leave the arena at intermissions for a whole boat-load of nefarious reasons and they would not be happy about this.

That (no re-entry) would be a tough sell in Winnipeg for all the smokers. Also the MTS being the smallest venue with lineups at the washrooms and being packed in the concourse like sardines would be even worse without the ability to grab a beer and wiz at the adjoining bars and malls.

 

[buggs]

Oh, boy. I know a lot of people who like to leave the arena at intermissions for a whole boat-load of nefarious reasons and they would not be happy about this.

The primary legal rationale being to let the smokers out. I don't know if smoking is banned in many states, is it? I know on recent trips to Minneapolis and St. Louis you can still light up in restaurants. I imagine that you cannot in the arena sitting areas, but unlike MTS I'd guess they have designated smoking areas indoors in the U.S. And no, I don't smoke.

If they ban leaving and re-entry I'll be seriously pushing for them to bring back the troughs. All about through put baby.

It was all part of a general security upgrade for the whole league. I'm not saying I agree with it only that some other teams have announced the new security measures alteady. TNSE has been silent so far.

I remember the article about the no re-entry being implemented in Ottawa or Calgary, I forget which. But was the no re-entry part of the league mandate or just the metal detectors? The article was a bit vague.

I hope I'm wrong
