I went from a Monday to Friday shift, to a Sunday to Thursday this week.

Spent the whole day thinking it was Wednesday.

Bettman is having a press conference at 2PM Calgary time (4PM Eastern). The announcement should be made then.

Shoulder patch could be a 20-sided die.

Also, apparently I am going to Vegas next October... if I can get tickets to that home opener.

Las Vegas Bandits would be the best. Have a logo of a bandit with one arm. Play in a jersey with different colored sleeves.

Well this is interesting. Pierre Dion - Quebecor's President and CEO - will apparently be at the press conference. Reliability of source not known.

^ Well they did pay the application fee. Might as well be on hand

Probably going to get asked few questions about why QC didn't get a team.
