When I wake up on Tuesdays, all I think about is hockey. I don’t shave, because hockey players don’t shave. I make sure my stinky gear is clean and I think about all the fun I’ll have tonight with my hockey friends – we taunt the hell out of each other.
Did you see the video of Richard Zednik’s neck being slashed by a skate? Not for the weak of heart. And even though I play on inline skates, this incident reminds me I want to order one of these. I currently use a half shield.
Check it out, I’m in the top ten for scoring this pre-season. Most penalty minutes, too (nothing to brag about).

What creeps me out about the Zednik injury is how one announcer says, “(Canadian accent) I’ve never seen so much blood that quickly!” and the other announcer says, “(equally Canadian) I’m afraid I have, but…” and they both just kind of trail off awkwardly for a few seconds.
My wife says maybe he grew up on a farm. I’m standing by my original guess, that he’s a reformed street kid who fought his way to the top of the Ontario cocaine trade, until a little boy with a big heart helped him see that life can be about more than drugs, whores, and money.
I heard that, too. I immediately thought the announcer was in a gun fight or maybe even ‘Nam, man.
But I like your imaginative view better. “OK, here’s the drugs.” [rat tat tat tat] “Ahhhhhh, the humanity. Eh.”
And somewhere Clint Malarchuk’s scar is tingling.
ewwwwwww
Another ‘Gordy Howe’ season in the making?
Let’s hope so…
It’s the only fun way to play. My cap’n has me back on D for most games. I’m better back there and can still score from the blue line, but it’s more fun to be in the scrum in front of the net.
