Comment from my son

...while playing video hockey.

"He got KNOCKED!"

Maybe you had to be there, but his delivery of those three little words had me in stitches...

Meanwhile, his sister continues to dominate the Family Hockey League with her Florida Panthers. How she can take someone like Ray Whitney (it's the 2000-2001 season game) and have him score a Hat Trick (including a shorty) on my Patrick Roy is insane. The Girl is one of Nature's Video Hockey Players.

I'm preparing an Avs team to play a full 82 game season with full 60 minute games. Not loading it up with stars, but grabbing a few of my favorite players from other teams (i.e. Zhamnov fr. Chicago, Satan fr. Buffalo, possibly one or two others but not top shelf guys).

I NEED HOCKEY. If this strike isn't resolved soon, the season is a wash.

Who am I kidding...it already is.
