Uploaded by: Martin Arnold (fan of unmentioned team) So as not to offend the sensitivities of readers devoted to other teams, I'm not going to mention any team in particular. I'll just post generic hockey comments. I happened to notice that, a day after Taylor Hall switched from one team to another, that a game broke out between two teams in close proximity to each other. These teams have nothing to do with Taylor Hall of course -- I mean, other than the fact that Hall played his minor hockey near to one of these teams, and probably wishes he could come home to the Centre of the Universe. Anyways, that game is currently 2-0 in the second. Another generic observation I made about hockey this evening was: that the goaltender with the shutout so far in this unmentioned game doesn't hail from the same country as Taylor Hall. Hall as you know is Canadian. Meanwhile the stellar goalie is Danish. Furthermore, the extra saucy 2-0 goal scored in this unmentioned game was scored by an American. Taylor Hall is Cana .. well I probably already mentioned that. Stay tuned for more broad coverage on a generic level of the entire NHL. ________________ Update from around the league: Hockey fans were just treated to an eye-popping masterpiece that, just by freak circumstance, happened in the same game as above. That American guy came blazing into the Oz so fast it reminded me of the Roadrunner cartoons -- you know the ones with all the desert roads and the cactus? Yeah, anyways, he comes rocketing in -- "Meep Meep! -- and he's got steam coming out of his nostrils. Then he sells the shot but instead he dekes a couple of guys out of their socks. 3-0 _______________ More news from around the league: Pierre LeBrun reported that 7 other teams made offers for Taylor Hall. None of those teams are located in the Golden Horseshoe area, located in a hypothetical triangle formed by Buffalo, Detroit and Ottawa. _______________ More news from around the league: Defensive play, especially shutting it down late in games, is not something that all teams throughout the league have adopted. In one of the games that I was monitoring tonight a team took a 3-0 lead into the third then fell asleep at the switch. The defensive effort expended by one of the NHLs marquee teams reminds me of an infamous photo of a transit employee in that city who got in trouble when he was photographed looking like this:  More news from around the league: Sometimes mere mortals need a Souperman to save them. From almost botched to saved by the borsch. Last up for tonight's league wide coverage: Taylor Hall will be in the Golden Horseshoe area, located in a hypothetical triangle formed by Buffalo, Detroit and Ottawa, on February 11th. Sleep well, NHL fans.
