    I’ll be there tonight. I went by the arena earlier this afternoon and it looks like Fox has set up a GameDay-type TV stage outside the Blue Line near the entrances on Front/Nationwide, which is a cool little wrinkle considering how thin the interest probably is among people who aren’t already at the game.

    The CBJ staff always does a good job with game production and I think they might have some surprises for tonight. Hot girls in short skirts on the ice during commercial breaks? Check.
