Lighting the Lamp with Rick Ackerman
As much as I love going downtown to watch the St. Louis Blues play hockey and soak up the atmosphere at the TradeStocks Center, there is something to be said for staying home and watching all the NHL marquee match-ups on the big screen. No, I don’t have a movie theatre in my house. I do have a new 65" 4K HD television, though, and it is a joy to watch hockey from the comfort of my own couch. I not have to endure heavy rush-hour traffic and un-timed traffic lights on the Forest Park Expressway (there is no way I can endure the mess on 40), nor do I have people seeking more beer or the restrooms getting up and walking in front of me during play or blocking my view when they jump up out of their seats at critical times.
