And for you Jim Murray fans….

How about watching a hockey game turn into an episode of "Extreme Makeover"? Nope, doesn’t really work for me either.

"There is a suspicion that the Forum hockey rink is falling apart," wrote The Times’ Chuck Garrity after watching the Kings lose to the St. Louis Blues. Four times during the game, the framework for the glass crashed to the ice. By the second incident, the Forum’s management should have been checking the warranty on the place.

The fourth time occurred just before the end of the second period, so the teams left early for intermission. When it was fixed, the Blues and Kings finished the period and started the third.

"Actually, the busiest guys in the place were three men in Forum orange uniforms who play with screwdrivers, hammers and ladders," Garrity wrote. "They really aren’t much fun to watch."
