The finger action would translate well to the small screen, and then I could watch it over and over in slo-mo....:) I think this entire entry should have been a video!

I was happy that only one or two of the guys smoking before going into the rink and most of them were sober. :P I did say high school hockey didn’t I?

If you piled up all those lost teeth you'd probably get a stack the size of Mt. Everest. It's preventable, guys! (Hmmm, I'm suddenly envisioning an interesting exhibit for some team's display case. Right next to the trophies, a bowl of players' teeth.) Different topic -- (you need a place for questions that have nothing to do with the day's entry) -- a player who was listed as 6'3", 200 pounds on last year's college roster is listed as 6'2," 175 pounds by his new NHL team. I've stood next to enough college players to think that the roster stats are often optimistic. Does this continue at the higher levels? Are NHL teams required to report those things accurately?

I know it's a real burn (I mentioned that). My point is, if you did NHL-level leg workouts (squats, jump squats, plyometrics, etc.), you'd see the difference. It's not just about gettting a workout, it's about gaining that thick, powerful muscle that players need to barely budge when some tank runs into them on the ice.

I wouldn't be surprised if you found that it helped out a lot for hockey back in HS I was always in the best condition come first practice of the season compared to the team.

His surfer-bum attitude totally worked in San Jose...no idea if that works in Colorado (possibly he just became a ski-bum instead?) Sorry to hear about the face-check. Maybe that's hockey's way of saying it loves you :-P I miss seeing lil’ Scotty Hannan play!

Unreal. Thanks for the blog shout-out! I assure everyone that wakeboarding is a decent workout. Can't say I'd be telling my NHL team that I had been substituting the gym with it though.
