About Me

Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

Sound bites...

For Hockey fans.... especially those who like watching on tiny screens LOL:

4 Horsemen of Hockey Apocalypse
"Fox Sports Net, which holds the rights to 13 teams, including the Carolina Hurricanes, is the one closest to agreeing on a deal allowing in-market live streaming to broadband and mobile devices, sources said. Comcast SportsNet, which holds the rights to four teams, also is talking to the league.
FSN holds the rights to five teams that are streaming preseason games live this year: the Hurricanes, Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators. Comcast holds the rights to one team that plans to stream a preseason game: the San Jose Sharks.
Broadband and wireless broadcasts wouldn’t cost the team a lot of extra money because video broadcasts for the games are already being produced. During this preseason, the Hurricanes have used their in-house video feed combined with audio from the radio broadcast to produce a broadband broadcast. And during the regular season, FSN already is slated to produce 65 television broadcasts of Hurricanes games".

Per Russo's early morning rant:
Wellman  Matt Kassian, Justin Falk, Marco Scandella and Drew Bagnall noved up!

Robbie Earl, has to "get back on the saddle and start from ground zero," aand what better place than Texas where cowboys are still ridfing the range.
Confirmed Aeros for the season are: Cody Almond, Colton Gillies, Carson McMillan and Chad Rau,  Prosser, Tyler Cuma, Maxim Noreau and Jared Spurgeon and goalie Matt Hackett.
"Earl, Petr Kalus, Warren Peters and Jon DiSalvatore were placed on waivers and will be demoted Tuesday if unclaimed. Defenseman Jamie Fraser cleared waivers Monday".
Anton Khudobin's future still hangs in balance, but indications point to a new hire to replace Harding!

For Opera fans:  the biggest news is that the 'seemingly indestructible' Placido Domingo steps down as Director for National Opera in Washington
while re-signing in Los Angeles for two more years! Plus let's not forget his continuing singing and conducting activities ;-)!
As Simon Boccanegra

Conductor Domingo
And for las Aficion here is one of the latest clips of Rejoneador Diego Ventura,  and his well-trained beautiful horses.
