The Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the Detroit Red Wings in Columbus and I missed it. I should have been there! Of all the hockey games this season, I should have been in Columbus watching this game in person. Instead, I completely missed it.
In other hockey-related news, my local cable company decided (against all common sense) to cease carrying our local CBC station from Windsor, Ontario, thus denying me access to Hockey Night in Canada, which thus denies me access to the few Montreal Canadiens games I get to see. (Columbus and Montreal are the two NHL teams I support — one from the States and one from Canada — for a variety of reasons including ancestral .) Even excluding the hockey factor, CBC is the channel I watch more than any other and the only reason I can think of for paying for cable, so without CBC I might as well look into switching to satellite service. This angers me. To deprive us of CBC during the hockey season is unconscionable. ‘Tis lucky I am no longer a Coronation Street addict (as I was the last time they pulled CBC, back in the late 1980s or early 1990s).
