Macho, Macho Men?
off the top:
EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
Your tax rubles
at work.
the score:
I'm annoyed that, once again, the Ottawa Senators lose out in
HNIC. I know the CBC is biased towards Toronto, but this is RIDICULOUS.
Check out what
the instigator has to say about officiating in the league.
off the ice:
So Tie Domi's wife finally blew a gasket and made him wear a
face shield. Too bad she can't make him wear a black shield. Then it might hide the fact that he's a mean little s.o.b. . . .
I'm suprised that it's him, though, that he's the tough guy to start the trend (if he actually ends up following through with his promise, that is). But after his teammates
Nolan and Tucker were taken out of the lineup with serious eye injuries needing surgery, he decided that it might be a good idea to protect his vision.
Let this go on record that this is the first time in history I support anything
Wee Domi has said. I think this is a great idea, and that other tough guys in the league should consider it. If they want to fight, they can just do as Domi says, and take off their helmets. It's that simple.
The Leafs aren't the only ones to have close calls with eye injuries. In March 2000, a follow-through from a Marian Hossa slapshot accidentally caught
Bryan Berard in the eye, rendering him blind on one side. Hossa insists that this incident didn't affect his game, but the
stats disagree. And let's not forget those scary few weeks last season, after
Shane Hnidy was hit in the eye with a puck during practise, and the team had to wait for the blood to clear from the eye before they could tell if he would be able to play again.
So, to the precious handful of you who read my rants, let this be a lesson to you!
in other news:
THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!
I don't really have much else to say, except that.
My weekend so far is shaping up to be peaceful, which is what I need. I'm planning on seeing LOTR (for the second time) with Sarah, and I think Stefan is being forced (by Jon) to buy me skates at some point soon. The rest of my time will likely be spent catching up on my oceanography readings and other mundane things, like doing laundry, harassing my brother (ever googled your
brother before?), and the like. Not exciting. Not depressing. Just normal. *sigh*
