Hockey, Boredom and Nostalgia

With all three hockey teams playing at a level of mediocrity, I reminisced about times gone by when a hockey game was played at an entirely different level.

Below for your perusal is a five minute video from a game which took place in the 1980’s in Czechoslovakia between Canada and the USSR.

What talent! What skill! Ah the good old days.

Even Joe Schick never posted anything as great as this on his blog.

I liked that so much that I watched it again!

By the way, this hockey fight reminds me that some girl who was at that Friday night oneg wanted to talk to me since she recognized me from a Jewish website. She did not approach since we were having an all guys discussion. So she contacted later on the website. The girl was from Canada! We were lucky she did not start throwing chairs at our group discussion to get to me!

Send her the video website.

She'll either go skating with you or punch you out.

Or maybe I should ask her out as well as a Russian girl. I'll take them both skating and watch the mayhem transpire. I will be sure to get it on film so you can post it on your blog.

Looking forward to the footage.

I'll bet you the Russian girl will win.
