Player candid?

Have you seen # 51 after the post-game shower?  Yikes!

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!

Welcome back....

...and a Happy 40th Birthday to "The Artist Formerly Known as 'THE Shot Pimp." Here he is spreading some good will with some Coors Field Staff!
