I am very angry at the NHL blackout policy. I live in Utah. 13 hours drive from Vegas, 10 hours from Denver, yet, whenever the Blackhawks play either of those teams, I am stuck without access. It is both irritating and off-putting.

As far as the 'Hawks/Avs, the stinking tank continues, as the 'Hawks put Kane on the IR, for what looked like a minor injury. Of course, being the NHL standard, all injury reports are purposefully vague. This one is a "lower body injury", and could be anything from an ouchie-boo-boo-cracked-toenail, to a completely smashed pelvis. The cynic in me will assign it to chancres (which it is probably not).

Well, I guess I am going to watch your guys play the hated Blues...but am still seething that I can't watch the team I have a major interest in.
