But all the games are on TV now, so you're not at the mercy of your local CBS affiliate deciding what to watch. The staggered times mean that you're never stuck with a lull where no games are being played.
The arena was AT LEAST 50/50 Hawks/Blue Jackets fans on Thursday, and possibly more 60/40 in favor of Chicago. I've never seen so many "visiting" fans at a game before
Bobrovsky was a monster tonight. Not sure if he is just good or had a great night, but that was definitely impressive. He's played very well during this point streak. Mason has barely seen the ice
Best hockey game I've ever attended. Columbus' defense was really good, and Bobrovsky played out of his mind. Once it went to shootout, I knew the Jackets were toast. Still, 9 game point streak for CBJ, and only 3 points out of the #8 seed

I'm not keeping up too closely with how Chicago media is covering this, but local radio is hammering Rose over this. Our afternoon guy is from Chicago, so we get a pretty fair share of Bears/Bulls opinion stuff, and he's all over Rose recently.

A: Miguel Cabrera B: Prince Fielder, Robinson Cano C: Nelson Cruz, Hunter Pence, Matt Kemp D: Adrian Gonzalez, Evan Longoria, Joey Votto, Anthony Rizzo, Ryan Howard WC: Will PM before the season starts
Breaking news from Columbus: people can't predict future, don't know if local team will win or lose their games. Story at 11. Just saying that their isn't a ton of confidence in the team, though the Indiana win is getting people a little excited
Local sentiment about Ohio State is that no one knows that they're going to do come tourney time. They could be a first game loser, or they could make a deep run. Their defense is very good, but if Thomas is the only guy scoring, they're in trouble
