New scoreboard above Pepsi Center. Nice.

That thing is huge. Is it going to get in the way of any of the punts?

Speaking of hockey and football, former Redskin Chris Cooley hit the ice during warmups for the Caps' alumni game that was held this evening...literally. He took a nice header right on the sheet, but was a good sport about it. Beloved former Skins' Cooley and Lavar Arrington both frequently attend Caps' game.

Every rule has its loophole and Gallant and Barch have found it for this one.

From Rule 46.6:

Helmets - No player may remove his helmet prior to engaging in a fight. If he should do so, he shall be assessed a two minute minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Helmets that come off in the course of and resulting from the altercation will not result in a penalty to either player

That is fucking awesome.

Shall we bash each other's brains in?
Yes, quite right.
De-lid first?
Delightful. Shall I get yours for you?
Oh yes, thank you. And yours?
Please, and thank you

*thud thud thud*

I wonder what would happen if, just prior to faceoff, players tucked in each other's jerseys?

The only thing larger than that screen in the Pepsi Center is Patty Wah's ego...

Hey Oh!

Mattola's murse - kind of catchy, no?

/Speaking of taking a swing, did anybody catch the end of the Clemsom-NC State game last night? Clemson O-lineman landed a picture perfect uppercut after a play was over.

Nice haymaker.

Kudos to the Rangers for raising money via a golf tourney in Banff for Alberta flood relief - Yes I'm thanking the Rags and Slats for giving back (likely the first and last time that will happen).

quite stylish too ... and helps him transport his scotch

Better wrestling fall.

I hear a Costco in Arizona is selling a bottle of 60 year old Macallan for $17,000. Maybe mattola is en route?

I think this is another clear cut case of CAP circumvention - Somebody get Gary on the phone.

Top comment on Yahoo about the fight is pretty funny:

Soon we're going to have opposing players tucking each other's jerseys in.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I guess Dalhaisen injured Clowe last night. I don't know how serious. Eric Boulton had a breakaway goal. Yes hell has frozen over. HA HA!!

Praise Pours In For Dairy Queen Manager Who Helped A Blind Man : The Two-Way : NPR

If you don't know the story, a visually impaired man dropped a $20 on the floor in a DQ. A woman picked it up and put it in her pocket. The DQ employee said to give it back or he wouldn't serve her. She said it was hers, so he kicked her out of the restaurant.

Good on ya, Wild:
"He also got a call from the Minnesota Wild, too. He'll have a suite for 20 of his closest friends Saturday night."
