The word on the grapevine is that the new streamlined unis the NHL plans to unveil at the All-Star Game in Dallas are so spandex tight that they make players' eyes bulge. That is a scary vision considering that the new threads will, in some cases, be covered by eyesore crests and unreadable colour schemes like the Blue Jackets already sport. I'm sure the traditionalist who has already lost his beloved fighting to the shootout will be thrilled, and more than a few newcomers may be doubled over with laughter, unless they like Olympic speedskating.
