And yes, Clint will be 80 and I'd bet my best hockey stick that he could still kick your ass!
The site of a very average hockey team with a special ability to drink!

Dates - Happy B-Day / Memorial Day
Clint Eastwood has a B-Day on Monday the 31st - which is Memorial Day. Thanks to all of those that have made the biggest sacrifice for our country and those that still serve.
Steamer season wrap-up
Well, the winter season was a tough one. Nevertheless, the Steam won a playoff game and was then knocked out in a loss to the # 1 seed in an 11-9 barn-burner.
The Prof had a great season and led the Steam in goals (17), Star of the game points (40) and tied for the points lead (21). A nice way to sail into marriage, where his scoring will inevitably decrease - HEY-OH! Trust us, we know!
Points: Prof and Harlan with 21; E5 with 14; Dr. Detroit with 11; and 5 guys with 6 (Chowdah, T-Pod, Sgt. Schultz, Howitzer and C-Webb).
Goals: Prof with 17; Harlan with 14; E5 and Dr. D with 6; Tripod with 4).
Helpers: E5 with 8; Harlan 7; Sarge 6; Dr. D, Howitzer and C-Webb with 5.
Star of the game points: Prof 40; Boris the goalie 29; Harlan 19; Dr. D 13; E5 with 11; C-Webb 10; Bada Bing 9; and Sarge with 8.5 or so.
Despite the tough season I think we did lead the league in suspensions and post-game beers. Nice!

The Top 20 Hockey Movies of All-Time - # 17
Coming in at # 17 is Strange Brew. This 1983 cult classic was about Bob and Doug McKenzie from "The Great White North." This was sort of the pre "Wayne's World" from the guys at Second City TV. It did use the word "hoser" a lot, prompted a song with Geddy Lee of Rush, glorified drinking beer, and used the famous hockey phrase "That was no goal, them guys was in the crease." Not a great movie, but good for its time, and appropriate for this list.

Hockey Article of the Week
The Canuck D-Man takes Colin Campbell to the woodshed in this article. Some pointed comments about the cheap-shot he took from Evgeni Malkin. Bravo!
Does Ovechkin hate kids?
Check out the great 8 "snowing" the kid. I know no members of the Steamer would ever do this!
A new wave sweeping the hockey world!
I have heard Jack Edwards refer to protecting the puck with the legs and the stick at the same time as A-Framing. Only recently, as The Professor pointed out, play-by-play man Doc Emrick referred to this brilliant puck possession strategy as........wait for it.........TRIPOD-ing.
It is nice to see the skaters who have championed this art form start to get some credit. To further this noble cause some companies are selling a training apparatus to perfect this skill. They call it the "Attack Triangle." Beware!
