A Lounge in the Wind

Well my aunt died yesterday. She was in hospice for a multitude of reasons. We don't know when the memorial service will be. Also I have no hot water again after they came and fixed it week and a half ago.

Sorry you're having a rough time. Hope things get better for you.

Sorry to hear that Loca.

The goalie cheering on the carnage is a true teammate, and a true champion. I also admire the level of restraint he has for his age. A goalie's blocker is a deadly weapon in the hands of more cowardly sorts.

What's the Canadian equivalent of yelling "Kill, Kill, KILL!!" ? Cuz that's what I imagine that adorable wee lad is saying just that.

 

[Perfect Cell]

That, but every other word is in French.

I also love how the refs are doing absolutely nothing to stop the fights, aside from tossing the occasional player to the ice.

Cell seems to be talking from a lot of experience here.

It's like a boxing glove with a convenient nose-shattering attachment.

See... Hockey is what the Candaian Gundam should be based on.

Even actual lunatic Ron Hextall knew to drop the blocker first before attempting to murder another living being:




...The rest of the players stopped to watch.

During my martial arts training days my instructor hosted Shooto Champion Erik Paulson and he actually taught us what he called "The Hockey Punch" as a legitimate move in a fight and it consisted of exactly what is seen in that clip. Grab the other guy's shirt by the collar and pummel him with right crosses while attempting to pull the shirt over his head. Like... That was a legit martial art technique I was taught.

PS... The term "Actual Lunatic" hits my funny bone for some reason. I assume that's what comes up under him when he's interviewed on TV.

His storied career is filled with a shocking amount of profane violence. Goalies don't fight that often. Ron Hextall fought anyone who looked at him wrong. He was also the first goalie to score a goal by shooting it from his end all the way to the opposing end. He's a damn cartoon character.

You're right. That's some Popeye the Sailor **** right there.

"Hextall's first international recognition came when he was named as part of Team Canada's squad for the 1987 Canada Cup. During a practice session, he chopped Sylvain Turgeon's arm with his stick during a scrimmage, claiming that the left wing was too close to the goal. Turgeon missed the tournament with a fractured arm; Hextall was back-up to Grant Fuhr and did not play a single game."

It was practice! This man should not be free to roam the streets.

I am starting to theorize that the underlying reasons Canadians have such a reputation for politeness is because they put all their blood lust and aggression into sports, particularly Hockey.

I don't think that's...



Fair enough.

I watched tonight's Walking Dead. Without spoilers, there was a scene where several zombies stumbled and fell into a big pit. However, the zombies didn't just fall in, but rather slid in, like they were riding a water slide. It was inexplicably hilarious. That should be The Walking Dead's slogan.
