When we stopped at the Shawnee Bluff Motel in Lake Ozark, Missouri, we just checked to see if they had a room available. Then, we went into a nearby bar (about 200 yards away) to make sure they could get the Hawks-Flyers game and would put it on. They could and would, so went back and checked in.
Enjoyed the wonderful view of the lake for awhile, then went out NTNing. First stop was Chicago Brothers which was about nine miles away. We figured with a name like that, they might attract some Blackhawk fans, and they did, but it was way too far away to party and then drive. Fortunately, the game hadn't started yet.
Then drove to the new JJ Twiggs near the Bagnall Dam. Twiggs started near us in the towns of Wauconda and Lake Zurich, Illinois, so we figured they too might have some fans. It turns out they have two bars in the building. The one with NTN didn't have the hockey game on and when we got them to turn it, they wouldn't turn up the volume.
We found the second, and smaller bar, and they had it on all TVs with volume up and some fans, so watched the first two periods there. Had a great time and went through two pitchers.
Then drove back to Road Boaters, the bar near the motel and watched the 3rd period and overtime victory. We were the only two people watching the game, but they really heard us as well as the "Chelsea Dagger" song.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
