Cammy and Kipper injured so Stars should get at least 1 point! Yes we can!

Heika confirmed Bachman is starting, but Gully wasn't available to confirm what changes there would be on D and F.

Oleksiak for Larsen is almost guaranteed, but I'll go with the guess of Wandell over Roussel for Reilly Smith. He plays wing with Eakin and Vincour tonight.

Not very happy about this...

Thought I could trust NHL network:

Injury report: Dallas is missing veteran forward*Ray Whitney, who's sidelined with a broken foot. … In addition to Kiprusoff, who's expected to miss at least two more weeks with a lower-body injury, Calgary is missing center*Michael Cammalleri*(hip) and*Mikael Backlund*(knee) as well as rookie forward*Sven Baertschi*(hip).

Sorry to bring the bad news but we don't have heroin beers anymore. Last season they changed to Canadian and re-did all the pipes and ****. Just clean, crisp beer now. Very depressing.

[Sir Gary Oak]

What is this "heroin beer"? It sounds pretty messed up

[Brand New Stars]

Him saying they re-did the pipes makes it sound as if the beer had been being pumped through a collection of bacteria.

[Sir Gary Oak]

I would assume that they'd be cleaned regularly (hopefully, in a perfect world)

Nobody really knows why the beer at the 'Dome got you as drunk as it did. Most thought it was the filthy lines running up from the kegs in the basement up to the nosebleed section and what not. Regardless, it's just not the same anymore. And for like $8 a beer, it should be.

Actually, they switched from Canadian to Budweiser (which sucks). Regardless, the beer just tastes different at the Dome than other places.

Yea my bad. I like Budweiser better anyways, but it's just not the same.

[Modo]

I think I'd happily try a "heroin beer" for $8 at the Dome, than pay $13 for whatever's on tap at the ACC.

Dayyuumm!! I thought $8 was bad!!! That's just flat out robbery!! You can buy a 12pack of cheap beer at a liquor store for that price. Unbelievable.

Prices for everything at the AAC are insane. (Edit: thought that AAC, and not ACC, either way they're still ridiculous)

Toronto is messed.

Even at Kingston Frontenacs games the beer is >$8 IIRC and that's OHL hockey.

i assume part of the reason beer is expensive at sporting events is they really don't want people drinking too many of them.

I assume they do it because they know people will pay anything for it.

I'd say it's a bit of both. If beers were $5 I feel a lot of people would get out of hand. Given that there's 18k or so at a given sporting event, that could end in disaster.

Mix in the fact that the fans will be there for 2+ hours, they'll probably pay for a $10 beer if they're there but complain about it anyways.

[Primetimey]

You are trapped so they price it high. Just like at airports, etc.

[Faidh ar Rud Eigin]

There's a long Jagr interview on the second period of the TSN feed tonight.
