The headline will make sense momentarily . . . read on, MacDuff:
First,
Eddie Cahill as Jim Craig
While his role in Miracle was indeed impressive (Jim Craig thought so), and he acquits himself well on CSI — though between CSI and Law & Order one wonders if any residents of New York City are still breathing — his most impressive career accomplishment may well be smooching Jennifer Aniston for seven episodes of Friends as Tag Jones.
Q: What’s been the highlight of your acting career so far?
A: I think I’d have to say “Miracle.” That group of guys was great to work with . . . there was something special about my experience on that movie. I mean, getting to live out my fantasy hockey career was pretty cool. When you try to get into acting, [it takes so long] before you look around and say, “Holy crap! I might actually be a part of this thing.” And after “Miracle,” that happened for me. I realized this very well may be what I do for a living.
Q: If “Miracle” was No. 1, I’m not sure where you put making out with Jennifer Aniston on your list . . .
A: [Laughs] 1-A. That was great.
Cahill is clearly gifted when it comes to understatement.
In addition, Cahill is blogging on NHL.com throughout the playoffs — or at least as long as his Rangers are in the hunt. It’s not quite as appealing as Miss Minnesota 2006 Nicole Swanson’s blog (with video of her modeling a Wild sweater), but Cahill is undoubtedly a passionate fan.
We at OFB revel in digging at the MSM’s general apathy toward the sport we love; it’s only fair that we also share those instances when its hockey coverage goes beyond simple game summaries.
Stumble it!

Hello all,
I’m writing to tell you about a new Stanley Cup blog for fans of teams who have qualified for the playoffs (Suk it, Leafs!).
Battle for the Cup
http://battleforthecup.blogspot.com
The aim is, from this year forth, to provide the fans of teams a neutral setting to verbally battle fans of new rival teams as the playoffs progress. Your site came up near the top of a search for blogs about your team. We’d appreciate if you linked to our site and promoted liveblogging here. We’ll link back to yours so long as your team remains in the playoffs - when your team gets eliminated, so does your link =)
We’re also looking for persons willing to provide game-day postings to serve as the seed for game-time commenting. If you have quality writing capabilities, we’d appreciate hearing from you at mork.from.ork.78(chez)gmail.com. Essentially, you just need to write a brief pre-game synopsis that stirs up fans of both teams (strong bias is more than welcome!).
This may take a few days to get some real activity going as it’s late in the playoffs, but this year will serve as a good foundation for next year.
Thanks, and please enjoy tormenting your rival fans.
“THM”
