Hockey quotes - # 7

"I play hockey and I fornicate, 'cause those are the two most fun things to do in cold weather."

- Matt 'Skank' Marden - Mystery, Alaska

DUI test # 1 - the Irish!

Here is one alll of us Mick's can enjoy. Thanks to Scotty for this one!

NHL punishment of the year - Craig Weller?

From Phoenix Defenseman Craig Weller......some of us talked about this and I am still not sure if it is a cheap shot or not. As our friend Tony always says, "If you are going to go, you might as well land the first one!" Regardless, the first check and defense of himself are clean and it is an impressive physical triumvirate.

The genealogy line?

Huh? That is the study of family trees you ignoramus.
Anyway, looking heavily medicated are the nutty brother and nephew combo of Eric, Randy, and Jason. Nyquil shots for everyone!

NCAA goal of the year?

As much as I hate these two teams , this goal was a beauty. Evan Trupp - coached by the classy Dave Hakstol (pictured above) - of the anthem-desecrating Sioux with a fantastic effort to end overtime vs. the super-entitled Gophers.

Youth hockey

Yes, I occasionally have a sentimental moment. They are few and far between, but I really liked this article / blog entry by Mike Chambers of the Denver Post.

Idoitfest

They are not VIPs, they are "special attendees!"

Every year there are lots of legitimate contenders for this hard fought title. Horse's Ass to "The Chowdah Storm." Nice hand Frank!

The opening song award from the Natural "Dozen" Scorer!

Some called it Theme-itis, but who doesn't love it when a fat guy wins a small shirt?!?!

Closing song of the year from team bi-curious!

The Song of the year award went to The Howitzer. It is afterall, more likely to get song of the year when you have an extra two songs for everyone to choose from. Haven't seen attempted cheating like that since his wife went to Pete's office. HEY!

The Mix-Master disc to The Tripod from two former, sober winners!

There was "allegedly" a sighting of famous Irish mobster Whitey Bolger, luckily there was an FBI Agent in a sweter vest to take him down!

An unknown award - to late night violence???

Support your local German - I think this one speaks for itself.

Eric honors Pete as the new MVP, just before they left for their appearance in the late night theatrical production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show!"

Some award - comeback player???

Have an extra "sassy" 2008 and we'll see you next year!
