As we wait for the puck to drop in 2.5 hrs, and in case you're curious about the ice cleaning after the icing call against Chicago in OT, someone wrote to Kerry Fraser and this is his response:

Kerry, not sure if you can answer this...in overtime of Game 6 in Chicago, the Hawks got called for icing. It was about midway through the period and instead of dropping the puck right away in the Hawks zone, why did the clean-up crew come out? That bought the Hawks on the ice a couple of minutes to rest instead of taking the faceoff right away! Why not save that for an offside, hand pass call, etc?

Cam: It is a very astute observation that you bring forward here. A distinct advantage was gained by the Hawks midway through the overtime on an icing play when the ice crew came onto the ice. While you won't find this in the rule book it does appear in the Officials Playoff Manual. The Hockey Operations Department approved the provision for a mandatory ice scrape at the first stoppage after the 10 minute mark of Overtime, regardless whether icing caused the stoppage or not!
In my opinion, this decision kills the integrity of the icing rule which can catch the offending team on a long shift with the inability to change for fresh troops. There are ploys that teams utilize to drag out the faceoff in order to catch their breath following an icing. We saw Sean Avery wisely snap his stick just prior to the puck drop on an icing to gain some rest time for he and his teammates in the Rangers-Capitals series. A decoy centre will also line up slowly and improperly with the assurance to be ejected from the faceoff to gain a breather. None of these ploys are required if the pressure is on in your end zone when the clock reads just below the 10-minute mark of an overtime period. At that point the smart play would be to keep one eye on the clock, ice the puck and have at least a minute or so of rest. The players can also go to their bench for instructions from the coach and hydration. While the offending team still won't be able to make a line change, at least fatigue shouldn't be an excuse for not getting the puck out of the end zone on the ensuing faceoff.

Its been a long time since I went to Boston Pizza. I used to like the Thai Chicken Bites but much of their menu sucks and the service was always shitty (something that can be overlooked with decent looking waitresses)
I stopped going to BP's for two reasons: the horrible music they seemed to always play - Britney, Backstreet Boys, Lady GaGa, etc. And for being treated like a child/criminal while watching a UFC event - they took our IDs and returned them at the end of the night as well as took pictures of everyone (to prevent dine and dash). The atmosphere during an event like UFC sucks as the place was full of young punks inspired to look for a fight (not really BP's fault). If you're over the age of 25 I'd suggest going elsewhere.

If they asked for my ID (to hold) I'd laugh at them, pick up food on the way home from somewhere else and order the fight.
