Top 25 Hockey movies # 12(a)
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.

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

So, the articles that prompted the story above are linked below. The two main ones are from Yahoo's "Puck Daddy" Blog.

Interesting to see a picture of a team at Family Sports. Enjoy!

Not only does North Dakota have a racist mascot, follow this link:

Go Pioneers and Falcons!

Pretty cool link......

The Guinness Toast
But times and priorities change and we get married and have kids.
And although the specific date of this great event remains a constant uncertainty - either February 13th, of the 3rd Friday in February - I missed it. So feel free to buy me one this Saturday at the North Dakota at DU game!
Top 25 movies of all time - # 13
Since we are at # 13, and that is a great number, time to start getting serious. Except for this movie. Swingers was a classic movie for a variety of reasons. Sure there is only one short hockey scene, but it prompted the (like Guinness) 'brilliant' line: "I took the Kings to the Cup." "Yeah, against the computer with the off-sides off." Here is he scene:
It seemed especially amusing to Chub, Bizz and I because when the movie came out, we were basically living that lifestyle. Hell, Glen is still called "Double Down" based on his similarities to the character Trent. And admit it, the multiple phone call scene is like an accident - you have to watch it. I saw that scene win a poll for toughest move scene to watch (it beat Kevin Costner trying to reach the green in two in "Tin Cup").
But really, just another quality movie with an appreciated hockey reference. And hey, it prompted this video:

I think "Super Douche" was still available?
But instead this total package sniffer went with "Dominant" and then his name - for his book title. I am not saying this guy isn't respected........but at our fantasy draft he was referred to as "Toothless Friend Killer!" Ouch!

This kid again, he's 10 now!
Rumor has it this kid turned his life around after getting some words of wisdom from a beer hockey player after a game. Who doesn't think that is effective? Anyway, Oliver Wahlstrom again!

Player Profiles - # 51 - Randy Ketchum
Name: Randy Ketchum
Position: Defensemen - or any stance that would somehow position his aging scrotum directly in front of an incoming shot!
Number: 51
Why?: Similar game to Brian Campbell – no; the number of days passed the expiration date of the condom in his wallet – maybe; a number that was available and he was ok with it since it adds to 6, his number growing up – most likely.
Nickname: Slim Shady (do to use of an M&Ms bag), Old Balls; and Nordic Track (for his skating stride). How we know him: Harken back to Avalanche glory days, Denver had just stolen the 'Dique from Quebec and the Camp boys bought a fan plan to watch the new team win Lord Stanley in it's first season. Sitting in the same section were a couple of hockey fanatics who were always sporting the coolest jerseys. Turns out these "Nutty brothers" would become mainstays on Steamer- although it took quite the prodding to coax them out of retirement.Position: Defensemen - or any stance that would somehow position his aging scrotum directly in front of an incoming shot!

Scouts said: "Never, and I mean NEVER, flashy, but always consistent. Always clears the puck, throws his body in front of all kinds of shots and passes, and gets physical (with men) when he needs to. Will lay-out to block shots like few beer-leaguers you have ever seen. He really keeps it simple and that is usually the best play."
Game reminds you of: Jay McKee – D – retired; the late Karlis Skrastins – D- Lokomotiv.
Best line on the ice: "Oh, ok, f#ck you!"
You may not have known: Played on a State championship hockey team in high school. Once donated his “Cheerleaders” hat to a young man looking for some valuable lessons about life.
Thanks for: Constantly saving the asses of our many forwards as they change lines while the other team is breaking out. Thanks for pre and post-game beers and being one of the nicest and funniest bastards ever to don a Steamer sweater. You may not have known: Played on a State championship hockey team in high school.

And you thought what happened to the North Dakota hat in the Steamer locker room was bad?!?!?
So, check out this crazy chowderhead. I can't do the story justice, so please follow the links and read both the Dead Spin (thanks for the pic) and PuckDaddy coverage of this once in a lifetime (?) story.
Brilliant!
On HBO's 24/7 Rangers at Flyers show they film the Flyers at the Anthem-Booers. Flyers coach Peter Laviolette gets pissed about what the narrator calls "The Refs being influenced by the home crowd in Montreal. Wait, no way - that never happens!
Anyway, Laviolette yells at the Refs "Typical Montreal. This crap always happens in Montreal!" Mad love to cheapgoalieggear.com for coming up with this t-shirt!

# 1 Star of the week!
Still not sure if this is the dumbest or coolest nickname in the NHL? Regardless, Brad Marchand is a bad ass!
Top moments in Anthem-Booer history
Maybe your fans take stuff a bit too seriously? At least Joe Ted made a save on someone!

WTF - is that you Turd Ferguson?
We recently had a right wing (who runs over female players, lives for post-game showers, and is probably our career leader in fights) miss a Sunday night game. Now I am not saying who it is, but the next night the AVS were getting drubbed on TV and I looked up and saw the picture below - WTF?

Working for charity?
Just a reminder to think of others and be charitable during the holidays. I love what we do in the Summer with the tournament, but I want to do this some time.
The Calgary Hitmen's charity event - The Teddy Bear toss. Pretty sweet! I guess they got 25,000!

Top 25 hockey movies - # 14(a)
Well, like the # 14, I also hate the Montreal Canadiens. I hear "The Rocket" is good, but I doubt I'll ever see it - unless I am imprisoned in Rick James' basement and he makes me watch it and that terrible Joe Torre, Yankees movie. Wait, where was I?
Anyway, I heard this was pretty decent as it had real players in the movie. Among those was Ian Laperrierre - and you have to love that guy. Let me know if you see it, but watch at your peril - you may start diving and booing anthems!
