Self professed hockey mom, Sarah Palin, is drawing the attention of politicos and milf hunters alike, even here in Dallas, where she received a special Stars jersey from the team. Should we draw any conclusions on the fate of our hockey hopes based on her ultimate success or failure in the election? I doubt her connection to the team is strong enough to draw any parallels, but as Palin's public ratings slide, the pre-season rolls on. . .
Stars hockey is fast approaching and the pre-season is not making me feel especially conifident. I do take solace in the fact that the full roster has been present for all of no games, and it is only PRE-season. There is much to look forward to. Turco continues to prove that he is one of the best goaltenders in the league (I say, he is the best). James Neal, who lead our prospect team to a tournament victory in Traverse City this summer, may see a significant amount of time our roster. And, let's not forget Sean Avery. Like him or not, the eristic forward is sure to make this an interesting season to say the least.
And finally at the extreme opposite end of the talent spectrum, the fall session is underway. Yes, practice is technically part of the session. I made it to my scheduled events, but it appears that not many others placed much priority on building their skills. The player to coach ratio for the Pats was 2:1, most people would be paying three or four hundred dollars an hour for this kind of personal instruction (instruction, that word sounds so familiar). I don't have any totals for the remaining teams.
And coming soon, a new feature for SNH. I received an e-mail from Mel "Supergirl" Knourek who thought it might be a good idea to put the spotlight on some of the women of I-league, find out what it is that draws them into this male dominated sport and I thought it might work. A picture might even make it work more better-er. My tentative title would be. . . "Body Check: the women of SNH". If you have any suggestions for this venture, leave me a comment or e-mail, so that I can ignore it. I wonder who should be the first subject? Mel? Ginger? Val? Ryan? Hmm, so much potential for controversy.
See you at next week's practice, right?

Do we have to have another article on Nate?
I say you do an article on the rare commenter littlea. I hear she's pretty hott.
Sarah Palin is considered a hockey mom in Alaska. I wonder how many Washington Capital games she will be attending if she is the Vice-President?
hockey mom to hockey whore
sirkis Sr. would you hit that ?
from behind.....?
I don't think she is fitted with the equipment that Sirkis likes. Give me that egg.
a pacemaker?
if women want equal time, they should spend equal time in the dressing room with the team too...
only the hot ones though
Has Knute sent out the practice schedule for this week?
Knute? Have you been drinking before blogging?
No, but it does lose a certain amount of humor value if you have to explain the parallels of the previous post to those who have an IQ deficit.
jon, you should practice by first writing a feature about the new female stars player, Sean Avery.
TORONTO (October 8, 2008) – Chicago Blackhawks left wing Ben Eager has been suspended for three games, without pay, as a result of being assessed a match penalty during NHL pre-season game #81 against the Dallas Stars, October 2, the National Hockey League announced today.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and based on his average annual salary, Eager will forfeit $9,677.43. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
At 9:45 of the third period, Eager was assessed a match penalty for attempt to injure Dallas player Sean Avery. At the time of the incident, Eager was on the players’ bench and swung his stick in the direction of Avery, who was on the ice.
Eager will miss the Blackhawks first three games: Oct. 10 at NY Rangers, Oct. 11 at Washington and Oct. 13 against Nashville. He will be eligible to return on Oct. 15 against the Phoenix Coyotes.
THIS SITE NEEDS MORE SCANTILY CLAD FEMALE HOCKEY PLAYERS.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Put ryan as the Dec. pen-up!
Get this everyone! Tonight at drop in my friend got his flip flops stolen from some punk kid that was roaming through the locker rooms (word is he stole some stuff from the room where they store the zambonies also)...flip flops? I mean, come on!
-27
People who steal from locker rooms should be subject to facing the teams and individual from whom they stole. - Just my humble opinion...
pen-up? Do you mean pin-up or are you suggesting one of those pens where the girls clothes come off when they are upside down?
Or are you an idiot?
Wear a helmet out there dummy.
