NHL Skills Competition: Some Random Thoughts

-Next time Montreal gets into a shootout, Randy Cunneyworth should have Price turn his back to the shooters. Or Tebow.

-How does the puck not fall off Tavares’ and Perry’s sticks when they wave them around? That shouldn’t work.

-Speaking of Corey Perry, it was nice of David Desharnais to lend him a stick for the Breakaway Challenge.

-Why could the hockey humor gods not have allowed us another year of Tim Thomas in Fastest Skater?

-Coming up: a feud between Pat Kane and Dwight Howard over who the REAL Superman is.

-Poor Shea Weber. In any other era, 106 mph would be phenomenal.

-I can’t help but wonder what my fledgling slapshot would hit on the radar gun. Maybe 30?

-I used to think players were incredibly brave for blocking Zdeno Chara’s shots. Now I just think they’re stupid.

About Lindsay Higgins

Lindsay got hooked on football after attending an Indianapolis Colts pre-season game in 2005. (See, pre-season isn't completely useless). The daughter of two Minnesota alums, she spends September through March following the Gophers' football and hockey teams as closely as possible from Connecticut, along with the New York Giants and Montreal Canadiens. She's also a winger on a local women's hockey team, and has a foster elephant in Kenya named Esampu.
