- Puck Daddy links to THN article on lead paint in hockey sticks. As a hypochondriacal parent with a drawer full of lead-test kits, I take this very seriously. But I do need to point out the obvious punch-line here, which is that lead poisoning causes your child to become stupid and aggressive. So, you know, write your own joke. (THN: Popular sticks have lead paint - Ken Campbell - NHL - Sporting News)
- Great blog I had never heard of (and now I've forgotten who to "hat tip" for it) called A Theory of Ice. In this post, he muses on the total disconnect between a player's greatness and abject cup-less failure and gnashing of teeth. He also calls the Regina Pats the most effeminate team name in hockey history.
- Fly on the Wall moment: "We joked about who had it worse.'' That's two players traded this week from different bottom feeders to the same slightly better struggling team. Guess who? (The Hockey News: Say What: Say What?!? - March 5)
Now, some shopping:
- Bryan Smolinski 2001-02 Los Angeles Kings Game Worn Road Jersey
- 1993 Wayne Gretzky Game Used Easton Hockey Stick
- 1990s Kelly Hrudey LA Kings Game Worn Pads, Glove & Blocker
- Swift Current Broncos WUDRICK Game Worn Jersey *Autographed*
- 1962 High Skates Nodders "Original Six" Complete Set in Original Boxes

A tidbit you could have found if etc. etc.
E, of a A Theory of Ice, is a she.
It’s an interesting blog, though, when she updates it. (I always liked “Buddhism for Hockey Fans” — the root of suffering is attachment.)

That's so funny, because as I was typing "he" I was thinking, "oh I have no idea if the writer is male or female"
and I was just too lazy to try to figure it out. so i played the odds. which serves me right.
Wait till this year.
well, as the linked article reveals
Pats is short for Patricias, Patricia being Princess Patricia, grand-daughter of Queen Victoria. Poking around on this topic, I also learned that one of the most decorated regiments of the Canadian Forces is Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, so-named in 1914. The Pats were founded in 1917, riding the Princess Patricia craze, no doubt.
Wait till this year.
According to Wiki...
Princess Patricia was the daughter of the Governor-General of Canada, so it may have been a political move. Apparently, the regiment was founded and equipped with private money and Princess Pat was made the Colonel-in-Chief. She designed the regimental standard herself.
Follow the flowers
If you bury your face into anything that looks remotely like a blossom, you’ll assuredly be in the company of heaving sighs, foggy lenses (if you wear spectacles), and unbridled whispers that beg for more. Let alone an intoxicating fragrance of eras gone by. How could a guy resist?
To hell with the stereotypical masculine, aggressive, flashy action-oriented themes of the average hockey team! Let’s hear it for the Boudoirs, the Belgian Lace, the Breast Bouquets, the Bonnets, the Buns, the Birdcage Bustles, the Buxom Blue-Eyed Bursting Busts of Bidonkadonkatonia!
i'll show you my butt tattoo if you'll show me yours
