Any fans from Iowa here? Moving in a few months to Northeastern Iowa and was surprised to find out that local coverage covers FSM, not FSN (Wild). As a long -suffering Leafs fan, it'll be nice to follow a team with an outstanding core of young players and prospects... Go Blues (that felt weird)!

It won't feel wierd once you get the right color blue in your veins.


Fan in IA would know this better, but just because you get FSM, doesn't mean that there will be Blues games televised. I am in Kansas, near KC and I don't get the games. GameCenter is keeping me tapped into to hockey.
