By the way, congrats to the World Series Champion New York Yankees.

Anze Kopitar is killin’ it so far this year, isn’t he?  The unfortunate news for the Kings is that he can’t keep it up, strictly based on the fact that he’s on my fantasy hockey team, and that’s his jinx.  I’m sure he’ll suffer some rare injury that requires the entire removal of his frontal lobe, or he’ll contract some other selfish condition that’ll really damage my fantasy stats.

What of it?

I like that the Minnesota Wild logo is shaped like some sort of a cat, because it reminds me I’m not the only person who occasionally makes really bad decisions.

I’ve realized that when I’m older, I’m going to have old-guy-eyebrows that young folk will describe as “unruly”.

Kevin Weeks on NHL on the Fly is indescribable.  Not because he’s so good, or because he’s so bad, but because I literally can’t figure out how to describe him.  I think I like him, but he’s clearly as camera-comfortable as the Bruins offense is dangerous. (Oh, and shout-out to my boy Carey Price, the best fantasy goalie in the league… when playing the B’s).

Big weekend for the kid.  I’m going to Ralphie May tonight:

Here would be a clip if Ralphie could put together one full minute of clean(ish) comedy for me to run.

Then ASU/USC tomorrow:

Might be fun.  I dunno.  We’ll see.

Though I agree with New York Times hockey blogger Stu Hackel 98% of the time (some of the most comprehensive NHL coverage around, with a nice dash of opinion) we disagree on one thing -- he thought that the suspension (the rest of the season) was too long for the hit shown below.  A fair argument, but I liked the decision.  Check out Stu’s thoughts on a major league cheap shot in major junior, who knows… you may think it’s charging-with-zero-respect-for-anyone too.

I do agree with him that suspending a player for “as long as the person he injured is out for” makes zero sense.

The kid was in critical condition in intensive care with a fractured skull after.  What’s alarming too, is that the kid who destroys him hits the next guy he sees too, which to me is a step below pulling out his bicep after and flexing.  Even worse, he has the f**king audacity to leave the game with his gloves on.  F**k me, I’m fired up thinking about it.  Congrats tough guy.

I found that fun, for some reason.

I’m sure it’ll be tweet-fest ’98 from me at the ASU game -- if you don’t already follow me on Twitter, you can do so by clicking here.  Have a great weekend folks!
