They have a season-ticket press box to some team (Capitals? they don't go often though) and mentioned that they were going to opening day to see them play.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore they <I>loved</I> the Winter Classic, a little too much actually ("every team should play 10 outdoor home games every year").<BR/><BR/>All the above just makes it more confusing as to how they could have said some of this stuff.<BR/><BR/>Well, at least they weren't saying "Bah, NHL? Who cares about that sport these days?" Which is what I'm always afraid to hear.brokeyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375063373661364274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-90785429890995416422008-10-03T19:00:00.000-07:002008-10-03T19:00:00.000-07:00I have the same trouble with the local sports radi...I have the same trouble with the local sports radio station.
