Rocket wins. He now gets his way and gets the first true post about (aboot) hockey since the NHL playoffs started. Rocket:

--------------------

I finally have something about playoff hockey that I think you might find amusing enough to use for randball. It is part two of the "Shane Doan Face" thing they have going on at Puck Daddy (part one has a great picture of Doan and Sidney Crosby and their respective roars, by the way). Anyway, the real joy of this post is a youtube clip that makes fun of "history will be made" commercials that the NHL is running. It is exceptionally weird and funny.

The choice is, quite obviously, yours to make. But just know that I'm getting a little bored of coming up with new facts to pretend that I'm ticked off about your lack of hockey coverage and I might have to start writing them as limericks or claiming that you routinely send threatening letters and lewd pictures to high ranking members of the the federal government if this doesn't end soon.

---------------------

These are all fair points, and the Shane Doan Face post on Puck Daddy is certainly worth linking to. That said, we will add onto this as a talker: who has the best/worst/most awkward celebrations in sports these days? We can even do this as a commenter draft. Once a player is chosen, he/she is off the board. For most awkward, we'll take Shane Doan ... at least until Daunte gets his roll on again.
