Things that amuse me - part 4

Called the "Drunken Friend Alarm Clock" - this looks like a quality way to wake up a sleeping "friend."

Mocking of NHL teams # 6

A little tough on J.R. and Jumbo Joe - don't ya' think?

Deep thoughts, or WTF?

My Top 10 favorite goals - # 5

So, many people know that my all-time favorite AVS player was # 18, Adam Deadmarsh. I was also a big fan of defenseman Aaron Miller. When we learned about the trade with Los Angeles, I went to "The Gas-N-Sip" to watch the upcoming press conference.

I was thrilled - since we knew beforehand - that the AVS were adding Rob Blake to upgrade the team. I knew the price would not be cheap, but I was crushed when I heard Deader and Millsy (typical hockey originality) were going to LA. When the AVS eliminated the Kings on their way to the Stanley Cup it was tough to watch the handshake line as all the AVS hugged their two former teammates. But on to brighter moments. In the first round of the playoffs, the Kings knocked off the hated Detroit Red Wings. Early in the series Miller broke Brendan Shanahan's foot with a slap shot - an important point of the series. But not as pivotal as the role Adam Deadmarsh would play. Down 2-1 in the series to the Wings Deadly had the first assist on the game winning goal in game 4 and the game winner in games 5 and game 6 - and what a celebration.

Fu Manchu and beef jerky Sunday!

Yes, that annual right of passage occurred last Sunday.

Q: Where? A: At Craig's "rockin" (if you know what I mean) van!

Q: Who stepped up to the challenge?
A: Several people who understand how the Fu Man or a porn 'stache can make the world a safer and better place!

Q: Who else was there?

A: A bunch of really smart people!

Wing love?

Well as easy as it is to love your AVS and hate the Wings, you have to respect Henrik Zetterberg's game. The guy is a great combination of multiple skill sets and hard work. Here is his insane goal against the AVS in the playoffs.

Locker room line of July

Background: JQ always gets to games really late. A couple of weeks ago, for our first C-3 game he showed up early. As there were only about 6 of us in the room, we were petrified that we would have to play with 7 skaters.........

JW: Wow, you are early?

JQ: Well yes, we are finally playing in a league I can be proud of, that suits my skills!

Two months and counting....

....until college and pro hockey takes to the ice again. Here is a little something to tide you over until then!
