Canada gets badly outplayed by Czechs Canada beats Czechs 4-3 in OT At the risk of sounding ingrateful, how the hell did that happen? Monkeys! Balls!

Another excellent way to cope with the inevitable work stoppage is classic hockey games. And by that, I mean none other than the Summit Series itself. I was inspired by watching the Canada/Russia... Season? We don't need no stinkin' season!
Am I the only person who really doesn't care whether there's a hockey season next year? Before you call me names, realize first that I love hockey. I was heartbroken when my Oilers missed the... Something occurred to me last night...
I don't know what I'm going to do with this space. I mean, I'm going to get one thing out of the way: unless you have the gift of humour to keep things interesting, you shouldn't be blogging.... New features
