[Beeeej]

A somewhat discombobulated interview with Douglas Murray, including some stuff about Cornell and the UberTap.

Also playing some really good two-way hockey and earned Howie's compliments for his hustle on D.

Elie, you might have too much time on your hands if you are trolling through YouTube for bad informercials ;-).

Let's hope he gets promoted to the big club soon or else he'll be type-casted into hawking Shamwows and cat scratchers on late night TV and during NC$$ playoff hockey games :-P.

Wow.  

A few observations: Riley didn't even get to say a line in this uh, ad.  I bet Michal Jordan must be pretty popular playing in North Carolina.  The guy at the end...if he was trying to look a lot like Ricky Gervais, he succeeded.

Instead of recording an infomercial, Riley Nash and his team put on a clinic against the Syracuse Crunch last night.  They won 10-3, scoring 8 goals in the second period, including "two goals in a span of 21 seconds, three in 1:07, four in 1:41, five in 2:41, six in 3:39, seven in 7:15, and eight in a span of 13:44."  Riley was the only two goal scorer for the Checkers.

This reminds me of a game I saw in Syracuse over Thanksgiving in 1998 when Providence scored an AHL-record 10 goals in the first period, en route to a 14-2 victory.

Douglas Murray notches his first goal of the year, albeit in a losing effort to Buffalo as the Sharks lose 6-3.

Had never seen this before (as near as I can tell, it is legitimate, and, of course, forever). Andy Iles definitely has a team to go to someday...

Has everybody seen this?

It's the Belfast Giants doing Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas". Spotted early on was a #5 Gleed jersey, yup, one of ours. Since I can't put names to faces, I have no idea if Jon Gleed actually appears in the video.

And in a cruel twist of irony, the video of an Irish team is unavailable outside the US because it contains content belonging to Sony.  I'll have to remember to check back when I'm in the US over Christmas...

Then again, do you think that after Justin Milo transferred to Vermont Mike ever thought of singing this?

[billhoward]

That song started badly, like Mariah Carey writhing with something less than ecstacy, something closer to full body diaper rash. It rewards those who stuck it through to the second half when the lyrics diverged from All I Want For Christmas: "They may have killed our Savior / That's not the best behavior / That's okay, he rose again three days later."
