    I got lucky. Aidan loves watching the games. In fact, he loves the game so much that he fusses when the commercials come on.

    I just keep telling him that I hate the commercials too, but that is the only way we have "free" TV.

    No kidding. Just avoid seeing the score before you get to watch. Once I know the outcome (especially if it is a loss) I am not nearly as interested in watching the game.

    Working in theatre I miss Rocket games on a regual basis, because we are doing shows or in rehearsal. I used to sneak out the stage door at intermission to try and catch the score. I have 4 VHS tapes I keep in rotation - I still haven't seen last weeks Toronto game. We open now just before the playoffs, so I'm excited to watch this year.

    I feel bad for all of you that can't watch every game. ;)

    but I have a solution......since I tape every game and have them in digital format on my computer...just give me a yell if you want to see one of them, and we can make arrangements.

    almost as good as TIVO..:D

    Only ReplayTV is as good as Tivo, and IMO, it is better.

    I'll have to take your word for that.

    I don't use either one.

    a capture card and a huge amount of hard drive space on my computer takes care of it for me. ;)

    I used to never miss a game until this year ... now I really don't care.
