Two of Pace's Favourite New Tricks Are Climbing and Jumping…

When you combine them, you get…pro wrestling? (I think it's extra funny that he says “no, no, no” right before he jumps each time, as if he knows he shouldn't be doing it!)

"I Hate Hockey" Hockey Update

I’ve just finished week four of my return to beer league hockey after a seven year absence so I thought I’d give a completely useless update since hockey is consistently the most despised topic on this blog when I do my annual survey.  (Hmm, when’s that due again?)  Week One – Scrimmage– we only have […]

The Mighty Sucks

Five Things That Will Probably Happen When I Play With My Old Rec Hockey Team For The First Time in Seven Years Tonight1. I will very likely puke after my first shift.2. I will likely suffer an injury of some sort, probably to my groin.3. I will need a wheelchair to get around at work […]

Hockey in June – How Canadian

As I type this, the Pittsburgh Penguins are up 2-1 on the Detroit Red Wings in the second period of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.  This makes me happy. If the Wings come back to win, they'll win the Cup and the hockey season will be officially over.  This makes me sad.I'm cheering […]

Why The Toronto Maple Laffs Will Not Make The Playoffs

Okay, I just saw this because I was browsing the most viewed clips on YouTube.  And I went to look up the score to find that TO did end up winning the game.  But still, this is hilarious.  Best part?  It's a shorthanded goal to boot!

Super Tuesday

Reddit has lots of good articles about today's “Super Tuesday” primaries in the United States.  Do a search for your favourite candidate to narrow it down.  This one's interesting – apparently John McCain, the Republican frontrunner, was born in the Panama Canal Zone, so is not actually eligible to be President (at least he wouldn't […]

Flames 9, Lightning 6

Flames 9, Lightning 6 – Game NotesI didn't see the game tonight (getting Santa pictures at the mall in Weyburn is apparently more important ) but I saw the highlights and wow.  A see-saw battle in the first meeting between these two teams in Tampa since the Lightning beat Calgary in Game Seven of the […]
