That probably hurt

In Monday night's Beanpot Championship, referee took a puck to the face. He immediately dropped to the ice in obvious pain. A pool of blood quickly formed beneath him. He was able to skate off the ice under his own power and was taken to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear infirmary. As of yet there is no news on his conditions. Or maybe there is and I'm too lazy to find it. Regardless, the stupid highlight shows wouldn't the play, because who wants to see people's faces explode in seas of blood? It's not like MMA is popular or anything. So instead, here's a picture of Patrick Roy with blood streaming down his face after a fight with the Red Wings in the mid 90s.

Weekend wrap up

So future home run king Alex Rodriguez used steroids. Color me shocked! He played for the Texas Rangers in the early 2000s! I mean how many of them could possible have done steroids? Oh yeah, ALL of them! A-Rod for some reason would not return my calls, but his ex-wife Cynthia had a comment.



Whoops! Sorry about that folks. A little profanity snuck in there. Don't know how that happened.

In news that people actually care about (i.e. me) the UConn men's basketball team held onto the #1 ranking for another week with impressive victories over Louisville and a very game Michigan team. The UConn women's team slaughtered another overmatched opponent. Well, I assume. I stopped paying attention when it became obvious they were so much better than everyone. Aw fuck it, I know what everyone wants, news of the Beanpot! Well saddle up kiddies because tonight #1 BU takes on #3 Northeastern for the right to the trophy (not pictured). It doesn't get much more exciting than two top college hockey teams with a natural, geographically induced hatred of each other. Besides, NU is good this year. How the hell did that happen?

Missed this one by a week or so

I caught the last few minutes of the replay of the Beanpot game between Harvard and #1 BU last night on my newly re-available NESN HD. Fuck you Charter. Eat a whole bucket full of dicks! Anyway, it turns out this was a hell of a game between a very good BU team and a very pumped up Harvard team. In the highlight below, skip to about the 1 minute mark to see Harvard come agonizingly close to tying the game as time expires. It's definitely a feeling I can relate to. Well, except for the pride in my school. And the incredibly high stakes. And the hockey skill. But I totally hit the crossbar once with a slapshot. It was awesome. Tune in Monday night February 9th for the exciting and dramatic finals of the Beanpot between #1 BU and #3 Northeastern. I know I will! Probably.
