94.2% Proof, By Volume

Toronto Sports Media takes a look into the not so distant past.
Hey, the Marlies suck at the shootout just as badly as their big brothers!
On the subject of the Marlies, Andre 'Oh no' Deveaux got sent back down again.
Norman James and Eyebleaf both take a look at that celebration, coming to two very different conclusions. Winner to be decided by three falls, two submissions or a knockout.
Puck Daddy has the perfect present for the person who has everything. And who you hate with a raw passion.
It's good to know the marquee players in the league aren't above the occasional cheap shot themselves.

The Stanley Cup

of women’s professional hockey, the Clarkson Cup, is being played for today at 1pm. The game is on TSN. Should be a good one.

I for one would like to see women’s pro hockey really grow and take off, so if you’ve got nothing to do this afternoon check it out and see if you don’t enjoy it. What could be better then the highest calibre of hockey being played by the coolest women in the world?

Malkin won’t be suspended.

Please see the nut punch as another classic example. Different rules for different players, and I know they say it depends on history but there are some things that need to be standard, and I have always figured that the punishment should fit the crime.

I don’t know, it was a head shot. And that’s a serious NO NO!!!!1

One game, perhaps?

Pogge was the second star, though – and there is no shame in allowing a goal in the shootout to Ville Leino, in particular. He could be playing on the Red Wings right now if they needed him before the playoffs.

Cox’s column on the possibility of the Sedins playing in TO freaked the crap out of me. Gawd, no. NONONO.

Also, Cherry’s rant today will either be epic or he’ll just sit back and say “I don’t wanna get myself in more trouble..” and sit back with a knowing look.. Possibly an even more effective method of communicating his thoughts to his legion of slavish fans instead of blathering on about Ovechkin. Someone’ll have to let me know though, I’ve gotten the habit of just hitting mute after the first period.
