Steamer Hockey: July 2012

Steamer action.....any second now.

The Cup

Sweet wedding cake - and a pretty cool interactive graphic!

Ok, I have had to adjust the numbering of the list as it started quite a while ago and there has been new releases since. This one is also a cop out - as it really isn't a movie.

#12 (a) - The HBO collection

Their "Miracle on Ice" a few years ago about the 1980 USA hockey team was awesome. The special on the Broadstreet Bullies was also really good. Bue the real excellence of late has been the 24/7 Winter Classics series, all are worth tracking down.

Steamer post-game action!

Congrats!

To the LA Kings. Anytime you go 16-4 in the Stanley Cup playoffs, that is pretty impressive!

Excellent Observation!

Beer Hockey Team Names - part 1

So, years ago we were drinking beers at Governor's Park. I went to the bathroom. There was a guy using the far left urinal (# 1), so I went to the far right (# 5). Shortly thereafter, Frank enters and goes to the middle (# 3). We do not acknowledge that we know each other, and after about 5-10 seconds, Frank turns to me and says "Hey, nice cock!" I keep a straight face, look back and say "Thanks!"

The guy on the far left pissed all over himself trying to hustle out of there. So, in honor of that special moment, I give love to this beer league team and their interesting name.

Why am I worried?

Hey shit-bag............no friggin' lock-out this time please! Even if the NBA and MLB commissioners are worse, this guy still sucks - apparently in more ways than one!

Just wanted to send out big congrats to gray bettman on his 3rdconsecutive work stoppage. Impressive stats for someone w no athletic skill! - John-Michael Liles via Twitter

LOCKOUT ANAGRAM FUN TIME! First up, "Gary Bettman": "Me Tyrant Bag" Sounds right. - Alex Semin via Twitter

Cop pulled Chico Resch over for running red light. Cop recognized Resch & said, "You more than anyone knows what a red light looks like." - NHLHistoryGirl on Twitter

I would hug Bettman if he turned to media and said, "I haven't seen this many people with false hope since I fixed the Crosby lottery." - Greg Wyshynski / Yahoo's Puck Daddy Blog

Good luck to Penn State today, looking to snap 111-game losing streak.

Why is it that most Swedes sound like they grew up in North America (Landeskog) and most Russians can barely speak English (Datsyuk)?

Miss Kathryn Tappen on Bruins games, and she is still my type!

Nick Lidstrom and Corey Perry car-pool to a game, are not sure if either had a hat trick, and are in a Honda? Yeah - ok!
