In real media, a “stringer” is usually a local correspondent who covers an event for another media outlet out of the area who could not either a) be at the event or b) not able to cover.
Chirps from Center Ice’s blogging pals “Chasing Checkers” put out a plea for help for Thursday’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Charlotte Checkers and the Binghamton Senators. Since I’m not ready to call it a summer just yet, I contacted them and offered my services and they accepted since they will actually be out of town on Thursday. I actually dropped this news over on the Twitter side this morning.
A few of you chirped in since Saturday night and asked if my allegiance will go behind Charlotte, Binghamton or someplace else.
My support is behind the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins. What’s that? Oh, yeah, that’s right, they lost. So in that case, may the best team win the Calder Cup this year. I have no rooting interest going forward. It will be nice to actually watch an AHL playoff game without the rooting interest and the roller coaster of emotions that comes with it.
So if you are interested, check out my piece Thursday night over at Chasing Checkers.
Soon, I will have a 2010-2011 season wrapup. I still find myself in shock over the chain of events which occurred, but life goes on.
Let’s Go Pens!
