Distractions: Oilers v. Falmes

The NHL Center Ice feed tonight is Calgary, alas. I was not familiar with their tv guys, and their play-by-play guy, Peter Loubardias, sounds eerily and distractingly like Henchman 24 from Venture Brothers.



If you don't watch this show you should. (First two seasons are on DVD!)

Also, the Buffalo game seems to be getting called by the captain from Sealab 2021. Perhaps I am watching too much Cartoon Network.

Shaky start by Deslauriers, but everybody has to have their first game in the Show sometime, and he shored up well. I enjoyed seeing him vs. Lowell in January, and I think he has potential. I'll be at another Falcons game Nov. 23, and I can't wait.

In Edmonton we got the Calgary feed too, and believe it or not, Loubardias has improved significantly from last year. He's only half as annoying and actually keeps up with what's going on on the ice. He calls junior and college games so often, I think he gets lost in the speed of the big league games. (/snark)
