Someone give me a "WOW!"

For my money I think Marian Gaborik is the fastest player in the NHL. Last week he scored 5 goals in a game, the first time that has happened in just over ten years. On December 7th he was involved in this play that I think was the most amazing thing I have seen him do - albeit, unwillingly. Enjoy and marvel....

What the hell?

There was some surprise when the STEAMER was uncerimoniously run out of the playoffs in the first round. Further investigation revealed an interesting clue as to the reason........... For those of you scoring at home, you have (L to R) standing: Billy "The Mesmerizer" Crystal; "Nutty" Howie Mandel; Jerry "Sgt. Schultz" Seinfeld; Tom "Tripod" Hanks; Ben "Chowdah" Stiller; Ben "Slim Shady" Affleck; and Tom "Ditka" Arnold.
Kneeling: Matt "Bada Bing" Damon; Cat Stevens; The Phantom of the Opera; Martin "Howitzer" Short; and Ron "Bullitt" Howard.

The ultimate road trip?

What does this have to do with Sports Illustrated and swimsuits? Nothing really, but check out this site by a guy that saw NHL games in all 30 NHL arenas on 30 consecutive nights. Like this picture, pretty impressive!

Trivia question # 4


In the movie "Dumb and Dumber", Boston Bruins Hall of Famer Cam Neely playes the charming character named Sea Bass. He is wearing a hat, what does it say?

But they are so easy to hate.....

On occasion when discussing college hockey I am asked why I hate Minnesota and North Dakota so much. In reality, like the Red Wings, it is the arrogance of their fans. The level of entitlement based on the talent they get and the lack of perspective sure does not help either. Regardless, I think this article really sums it up.

Ouch!

DU's finish - what a bonanza!

Denver University had a remarkable comeback against St. Cloud State on Saturday night, courtesy of sophomore winger - # 9 Rhett Rakhshani and his late hat trick. If you didn't get to see the game, here is the last 6 minutes - all you really need to see!

Scoring champion....

He scored so much he could not keep his eyes open! Chalk up another for The Professor. He led in goals, assists, points, and hat tricks (and tied Randy in game winning goals). We had him with 21 goals and 15 assists in 10 games and the league scorekeepers had him with 20 goals and 9 assists - (we always do better).
Nevertheless, another scoring title for the young Elvis Costello!

Zamboni problems?

So, you thought it was bad when before our game the Zamboni died and dropped all the hot water onto the ice creating that 2" x 6" x 120" fiord?
Well, check out this video from CNN!
