A Little Hockey

I'm a little embarrassed that the hockey season has started and I haven't posted any hockey content.  Last night, Marian Hossa gave me ample reason to do so.  Check out this goal against his former team, the Atlanta Thrashers.

To quote John Wayne in True Grit, "He reminds me of me."
