If I'm to believe Mike Beauregard, the CBC will not be showing the Calgary vs Anaheim game Tuesday night in the Manitoba/Northwestern Ontario market.

This angers me greatly as a Flames fan, for a couple of reasons. First of all watching the Red Wings lay a beating on the Oilers (because we all know that's going to happen), doesn't interest me in the least. Second I'll be stuck listening to an inferior broadcast team. Mark Lee and John Garrett have been doing the Oilers/Wings series so far and there work has been far from impressive. Perhaps the grudge I hold against Garrett for making remarks along the lines that Winnipeg doesn't deserve an NHL team is clouding my judgment, but I'd even prefer Greg Millen over Garrett.

As it stands I have two night assignments Tuesday which I was hoping would rap up quickly but now with the Oilers game on, I could care less if the Business Improvement Zone's Annual General Meeting turns into a filibuster.

To fan Pete's disappointment, I expect we won't see Thursday's Flames-Ducks game either. Doesn't that satellite radio offer you coverage?

Not to rub it in, because I know Peter doesn't even have cable, but CBC Calgary (available on my Star Choice) is covering Calgary-Annaheim. You probably know it is 3-2 Calgary going into the third and the Flames powerplay finally looks like a powerplay.
I'll quit now that you're swearing again ...

Mumbling to myself: "20 more minutes, 20 more minutes, 20 more minutes ..."
