WOW

One word to describe the events of the past few days. WOW...

The Jimmy Veltman game is moved from next Saturday night to the Sunday afternoon. Good for me, because I wouldn't have been able to go on the Saturday, but there are so many people who got their tickets a while ago to see one of the few remaining links to Rock respectability play one last time. What the hell was the point in booking the date 6 months ago then? No point. The Craptors screwed the Rock, plain and simple. The announced crowd might be 17,000, but there probably won't be that many in the ACC. I will also feel bad for anybody who shows up at the ACC at about 6:00 on the Saturday, and gets to see Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis celebrating after handing the Raptors another playoff loss, when those people just wanted one last look at a true legend.

Thanks MLSE, but more importantly, a big thank you to the Toronto Rock for accommodating their request. Thank you for screwing all of your long time supporters who won't be able to make it to the game now. You guys are all class. Sarcasm should be noted.

Another rumour has Blaine Manning out of the lineup on Saturday. This guy is having an awesome season and was the main source of offence against Chicago last Saturday. He was unlucky, and nothing more. Anybody want a guess at who will be in the lineup for him against Calgary? 20$ says Troy Heaselgrave gets the call. If not him, then Rick Acorn. If not him, then Cory Kloepfer. Somebody from Barrie seems like a safe root to go. No way Manning should be out of the lineup. I wonder who called the shot on that one?

If a Buffalo reader of the blog could fill me in on Bandits seasons tickets details, I would really appreciate it.
