The Queue: Worlds collide
I love it when two of my interests come crashing together like a pair of hockey players slamming each other into the boards! Once again, World of Warcraft sponsored an Edmonton Oilers game, and they were exceedingly kind in inviting me along for the ride! The Blood Elves came back to support the Oilers, and there were prizes, pizzas being parachuted down from the ceiling, and a cool limited edition t-shirt of the Oilers mascot, Hunter the Lynx, glowing all void-y with the Warcraft W on his chest.
Last time they had us up in the special fancy box to watch the game, this time we were rinkside, and what an experience that was. I’ve never been so close to a professional hockey game! The puck was amazingly loud; you felt every slapshot that hit the boards viscerally. It was also super cool to hear it skitter along the glass as they passed it around the end of the rink. To say nothing of watching the aforementioned body checks up close and personal. It gives you a whole new appreciation of the things hockey players put their bodies through.
Sadly, the Oilers didn’t win, so congrats to Kalcheus and every other Carolina fan that night. I was really hoping that the Oilers would be heroes in the storm of Carolina. Still, it was a really close game (until it wasn’t) and I hope they decide to sponsor some Oilers playoff hockey…

The Queue: A gnome playing chess in Karazhan
“Knight to C3,” commanded Peggy Sparklewrench. The gnome was determined to beat Medivh this time.
Medivh cheated. The black Knight burst into flames.
Having lost the game, Peggy said “screw this” and headed to the hot tub that had been set up on the Nightbane balcony, to take a dip with her new friends (a murloc, a cow, and Reno Jackson).
This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where stories sometimes have exciting beginnings but predictable endings.
