A high school hockey game in Massachusetts was forfeited last weekend after spectators starting hurling golf balls at the players: the "golf-and-tennis-ball cannonade rained down so suddenly that players and coaches were unable to avoid it."
"Saturday’s ruthless pelting at Newburyport’s Graf Rink caught a trainer smack in the forehead, sending him first to the hospital and then home with a nasty welt. "
Sick puppies that we are, we couldn't help but smile a little at the appearance of the word "cannonade" -- a nice Danny Gallivan reference.
Red Wings 2 Canadiens 0: Ho, hum, Dominik Hasek pitches the shutout and wheels really seem to be coming off the Habs.
Predators 5 Flames 3: David Legwand has a three-point day (it was a 5 p.m. local time start, so you can't really call it a three-point night) in what might end up being the 2 vs. 7 playoff matchup in the West.
Bruins 3 Sabres 2 (shootout): Ryan Miller made the save of the year, which will probably be all over YouTube by 10 a.m., but Marco Sturm slipped home the shootout winner for the B's (that would be Boston).
Headlines: The Gazette's Jack Todd calls TSN's Pierre McGuire two-faced; Yutaka Fukafuji's debut fairly deserves to be set off with haikus; Syracuse continues talking college hockey (which would be fitting, since one of the higher-ups in the athletic department there is named Wildhack); Kitchener eyes the 2008 Memorial Cup which Kingston is going after (deadline to apply is Feb. 2).
