Is your first picture from the Canada - Russia Olympics hockey game with players looking for the hole in the back of the net after the referee refused to do so?

Ila, I am shocked that you didn't say anything about my 'Colon Campbell' comment.

There's nothing like a bit of fatherly advice...

Damn. If only it wasn't so true!



Nice one, dauls.

Christ.

I am getting sick and tired of seeing these dirty hits occuring! Something needs to be done.

Article from tsn.ca.

SEABROOK KNOCKED OUT BY CHARGE FROM DUCKS' WISNIEWSKI

The NHL's discipline practices have been under the microscope in recent weeks, and another ugly incident has taken place that is likely to test the system further.

In Wednesday's Blackhawks-Ducks game in Anaheim, Chicago's Brent Seabrook caught Anaheim's Corey Perry with a hit near the end boards that knocked Perry down.

Just a few seconds later, Anaheim's James Wisniewski laid a crushing hit on Seabrook that knocked the Chicago defenceman out of the game. Starting from the faceoff circle, Wisniewski sped at Seabrook and launched himself off the ice and into the defenceman at the end boards.

Wisniewski was assessed a minor charging penalty on the play, while Seabrook appeared dazed on his feet before collapsing to the ice.

Seabrook was facing Wisniewski with his back to the end boards, but was looking down at the puck that was near him and likely did not see the hit coming until the very last moment.

Chicago's Duncan Keith immediately fought Wisniewski, with both players drawing five-minute majors.

How the hell the refs only called a minor for that is beyond me!

... and these men play with their sticks in a very different way than does father, or than the way that you are going to be wanting to do very soon, lad.

I was laughing too hard to type anything. Some nicknames are so appropriate.

Two thoughts:

1) If either of those guys in the picture plays for Team Canada, I think 2010 will be the last Olympic Gold medal for Canada for a long time.

2) Don't they seem a bit scrawny to you? I'm imaging them on the ice with Ovechkin. He comes at them at full speed, there is a body slam, and they literally break in half.
