For starters, I think this is the earliest in a day that I've ever made a post that isn't . I'm going to see so much daylight today.

Last night we recorded the eighth episode of The Obstructed View. I was involved with Casey from Winging it in Motown and Joe from Red Wings Guy with Chris from Motown Wings playing host. If you liked the last show I was on, you'll certainly like this one. I actually have a headset so it doesn't sound like I'm calling in on a phone from the '90s. Also, I was a little more awake so I wasn't just stammering aimlessly. Good news. We talked about Jason Williams, Justin Abdelkader, Mebdeech and the impending roster decisions, Babcock's latest comments "about" Chris Osgood, and a lot more. So check that out here.

Take a second after you listen to applaud the efforts of our producer Brian Kiernicki. Usually this show is recorded Sunday afternoons, but that just didn't work out with everyone's schedule. We recorded this show yesterday at 9PM, with a turn around time of 12 hours for the Tuesday 9AM release date that is generally when people expect this show to come out. Personally, and this isn't a slight to Brian at all, just from my basic knowledge of low long it takes to edit anything, I thought this one would be a little delayed. Sure enough, I'm up early today, and nearly right on the nose of 9AM, the show is released. So as you're listening, just appreciate the hard work Brian did in getting this out in time.
