Anomalous Yes, but Hockey Honored in July Is Always Welcome

Whoa — what’s this bit of Michael Farber insurrection on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week? We’re not sure Farber, one of hockey’s best reporters, had anything to do with it, but SI’s two-week issue now on newsstands dramatically and fabulously honors one of the greatest sports movies of all time — ‘Slapshot.’

It’s likely to rain on some fireworks displays tonight, and if it does in D.C., we’re gonna dust off the Old Classic and enjoy a fresh round of fresh-feeling laughter.

In or out of doors, have a safe and fun-filled 4th, patriotic puckheads.

  2. I was reading this today and it’s actually Austin Murphy that wrote the article, not Michael Farber.

  3. We didn’t claim that Farber wrote it — we alluded to him cause he’s SI’s senior hockey writer. Murphy writes more often about golf.

  4. I mis-read the caption, my bad.
