I’m watching the All Star Game on the Versus channel and they had Martin Brodeur mic’d up in the 2nd period. Pretty interesting until someone scored a goal on him, knocking the microphone off of him and almost into the net.

Hockey Night In Canada announcers thought the puck broke in half until they got a closer look and realized it was just the mic.

“Brodeur literally got a piece of it!”

Don’t know if you CBC guys get the same Versus feed, but the entire third period they had Turco’s mike/headphone on so he was talking about things while playing.

BTW according to the Washington Post, Ovie and Crosby filmed a new NHL commercial where Ovie does the old send pizzas to Crosby’s room bit.

just by looking at some of the photo’s from the all-star game…i didn’t get a chance to watch it, as i had a game of my own tonight. But it appears to me as if each player is wearing their own team breezers, and they have put some sort of a slip cover over the top of them. I have seen a lot of photos so far where you can see some of the players team colors underneath their pants, most noticably on this one of Brian Rolston, who got hosed for MVP…linky Anyone else think that this is rather suspicious???

Shells are shell. very, common (necessary if you wear a girdle). especially for special competitions (like allstar games), and lower levels.

(Sorry to any Swedes for showing that pic of Salo…)

did anyone see Reeboks new hats they unleashed at the post game interivews at the allstar game? I had one of the new ones last year, with the mesh back with the logo printed sideways on the back left panel. But it seems with these news one that Crosby and Ovechkin are wearin, they took that large logo, and put it sideways on the front of the hat, but no colour, just an outline. Then they have the regular logo ont he front, looks pretty snazzy I may have to go buy it

As far as cheesesteaks are conserned, Steve’s Prince of Steaks on Bustleton Avenue or Rick’s in the Reading Terminal Market (and Citizens’ Bank Park) as well as Tony Luke’s on Oregon Avenue (and also at The Vault) are great.

I actually love the new NHL jersey cuts. The baggy sweater look is equivalent to pajama style baseball pants. And I don’t want to hear about tradition. Gordie Howe never wore his sweater as baggy as some of today’s players. I love the way the new jersey is tight around the forearm.

Amen, Brother. Testify!

I really want to see Versus/NBC/TSN/Anybody put one of those little cameras they used to put on baseball catchers and NFL umpires in a goalkeeper mask. Pair one of those with the little microphone, and you get one of the deepest looks into the life of a goalie without actually becoming one. I know it’ll make me treat a 90 mph slapshot with a little more respect

I think Ovechkin wears a tinted visor to hide his painful affliction, the unibrow.
