You might recognize the "Lighting the Lamp" feature from the Game Time paper. Rick Ackerman has been nice enough to send over his column for the website. "Lighting the Lamp" will be featured every home game day.
Lighting the Lamp with Rick Ackerman
Okay! Thanksgiving is over, Black Friday has passed and it's okay to turn the outdoor lights display on now. Officially, there are 27 days 'til Christmas, plenty of time to max out the credit cards and get frenetic with holiday anxiety and angst. For the Blues' management and players, there are 25 days left 'til Christmas break with 13 hockey games to play, including four on the road with two separate trips to the east coast, as well as three back-to-back contests.
