A Haven for the Hockey Malnourished

The coldest days best warm my hockey heart


Russia Came, Russia Conquered, and Russia Was Very Well Covered


Congratulations not only to Team Russia for its performance at the Worlds but for the excellent coverage of the tournament by Sovetsky Sport, Russia's largest newspaper.

The Russian Hockey Federation was thrilled with SovetskySport's coverage of the team at Worlds, so much so that they were the only print media allowed in the dressing room after Sunday's gold medal win. They were also the only print media invited to fly back with the team on their charter back to Moscow. According to our good friend Dmitry Chesnokov, a lot of stories from that champions' flight will forever remain unpublished.

Incidentally, these Russian hockey players -- they're a rather photogenic bunch, aren't they?

I have to say Semin is a bizzare dresser. DSCS can't say nothing on how I dress.

Not only won't we burn the pic, JR, but I think we'll run it again, next spring, beside one of these two kissing Lord Stanley's Cup.

JR, you've got to admit that the Killer Rabbit has a mighty fine set of teeth, though.

That's an image that I'm sure will be plastered all over the Pens message boards. At least we have the photo of Malkin and Stall making out to counter.

Appears Chanuck has been staying up too late with the little one - I think he meant DCSC ;-)

Why does Semin look like Katherine Hepburn on crack?

It's more like a Mick Jagger/David Bowie pic from the 80s and let's not even go there, actually....

I think both of them will give any haters a head start when it comes to women. With or without this picture :)
