Somehow you have got me reading this! Even though RPF still squicks me out. But... hockey! *grab hands*
Also now I'm desperately hoping that my beloved Canucks don't end up playing the Hawks in the playoffs (for the third year in a row) because I'm just starting to like them again and I don't want to listen to them calling the Sedins sisters again as if that's actually an insult. (Keith and Seabrook are awesome, Sharp is too, and Toews and Kane - but I will never ever like Dave Bolland.)
Harrison Mooney and Hockey Hugs are some of the most awesome things ever. I was just complaining about their complete lack of a tag system the other day! Puck Daddy is a good blog, but it has way too many articles for me to read all of them consistently. I just want the hugs!
ETA: Also I can confirm, as a goaltender, that you don't have to be in the NHL to be insane. It's part of the position. And most of us are indoctrinated at a young age. The advantage is that you often don't have to pay fees for the season and everyone is keen to give you extra ice time and drive you to the rink because they'll do anything to avoid going in net themselves. Although I'm with Ilya Byrzgalov - who's more insane: Goaltenders with padding? Or Defense who block shots?
