Friday Links

Another Friday, another serving of some Friday links.

- Blah, blah, blah, season ending roster. When are we going to get some real news?

- I watched Murderball yesterday, and I highly recommend it. It's an awesome documentary about quadriplegic athletes playing wheelchair rugby. It was very inspiring, but not in a Pollyanna life is sunshine and rainbows way.

- Your Wikipedia hockey page- "First indoor ice hockey game"

- Lets Go Amerks has a great look at what happens when teams move to a new town. Poor Rowdy.

- The Panthers and Lightning both announced their preseason schedules. It would be fun to check out at least one game since I've never been to a preseason game and it's pretty much the same distance to Tampa and Sunrise.

- This photograph is gorgeous, and I may just have to buy a print.

- I honestly don't know what to say beyond this mother built an indoor ice rink addition on to her house because she was tired of driving her son to practice.

- This is my new response to any complaints...

YouTube Tuesday

Now that the Hershey Bears won the Calder Cup over the Texas Stars last night hockey season is officially over. As much as I'd like to switch my attention to the World Cup, I can't. There's just too many bad memories from the 9 years I played goal for the worst competitive soccer team in South Florida. Anyhoo, enjoy these YouTube videos...



And here's the full top ten with the Rags that got shortened in the clip (it's really not funny, but none of the humor on The Late Show is)...





I don't think the Blades will be announcing anything major this week. There's some kind of ECHL convention in Las Vegas.

Friday Links

This is going up a little late, but here's some Friday links to end the work week on a high note.

- Now that the Blackawks have ended their Stanley Cup drought, it's time for a new team to take the mantle of team with the longest drought. Step right up Florida Panthers!

- Here's a really interesting look at what the Stanley Cup means to a hockey player.

- Here's a direct link to the Everblades latest schedule.

- I'm trying to read this biography of Ken Dryden (and it's pretty good so far), but life's getting in the way. I still recommend it.

- Zamboni watch!

- This has nothing to do with hockey at all, but this sign duel between a Catholic church and a Presbyterian church is hilarious. Part one, and two.

YouTube Tuesday

This video never gets old...



The Everblades should be announcing the schedule for next season some time today, and the new coach should be named some time this week. Unfortunately, I'll be in Venice for the next two days and won't really have time to post anything until Thursday. If anything really major happens I'll find some way to get something up here.

Friday Links

Happy Friday everyone. As always, here are some links to get you through the day...

- Having a new GM in Sunrise may mean good things for the Amerks and Panthers relationship.

- Your Wikipedia hockey page today is really interesting- "List of family relations in the NHL"

- These vintage Bobby Orr skates are pretty cool.

- This is a really cool set of Flickr photos. I love the Kazakh and Slovenia jerseys.

- The Blackhawks have been in Chicago how long? Why go over the basics of hockey in an original six city?

- This little girl is so adorable(even though she's a Flyer's fan).

- One last giggle...
