Ming announced the week’s schedule for Puck U. Game 1 was last night, game 2 at 9:30 AM Saturday, and game 3 at 2:45 PM Saturday. You can follow live broadcasts at Gretzky.com. Get there!
More details in the coming days, we just wanted to get the word out there so fans in the south could grab some early seats up.
We’d like to extend the best of luck to all the View Askew teams playing in Brantford this weekend – We’ll keep you updated here at News Askew. If you’ve got photos, videos, news, or anything else from on the scene, hit up our scoop form and let us know. This event’s one of the biggest of the year with tons of press, which we love to catalog here for the archives. No matter how major or minor, send it on, and we’ll take a look.
Ming reports that for $30, you slackers who waited to get tickets can get into STOCKY NIGHT IN CANADA, the live SModcast, all of which benefits Wally’s charity — AT THE DOOR. That’s tomorrow night, Saturday, at 8 PM. Get there no matter where you are.
Happy hockey to all, and GO FLYERS!!!

Now that the GretzkyTourney drive/registration is squared away, I’ve gotta be gross & sell 300 more tickets for http://stockynight.com
Loot from last year’s http://stockynight.com allowed us to give $10k to the TheBrantfordLegacy fund. This year, the big check goes to Wally.
The big donation check, courtesy of http://stockynight.com loot, will go to The Walter & Wayne Gretzky CNIB Blind Youth Scholarship Program.
So, shamelessly, I ask you: BUY SOME GODDAMNED TICKETS TO http://stockynight.com SO WE CAN GIVE SOME BLIND KIDS SOME PHAT CASH! Thank you.

Sometimes, the sidekick can be the devil on the hero’s shoulder, as in Kevin Smith’s game-changing 1997 comedy about comic book artist Holden (played by Ben Affleck), who falls in love with lesbian cartoonist Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams). Lee’s Banky objects to the relationship for many reasons, most of them bigoted and shortsighted—Banky doesn’t just have issues with lesbians; he’s such a misogynist that it’s hard to imagine him approving of a relationship with any woman. But Smith makes this character hilarious even if you wind up hating much of what he has to say. (A few years later, in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the writer-director provided a neat—and hilarious—little coda to Banky’s frothing homophobia.)
