NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Beard in January!

Check out Brent Burns' new mug shot. it's not so much the picture, but how the media is running with it that cracks me up.

It's still funny to me that playoff beards, post game handshakes, and Canadians are the gist of what many still believe hockey is all about.

Here's to the new (shortened) NHL season.

Three new Hockey Movies: The Last Gladiators, Goon, and Breakaway

I'm looking forward to seeing these three new hockey movies, "The Last Galdiators", "Goon", and "Breakaway". All have either Academy Award winning directors or decent star power, most notably: Alex Gibney, Seann William Scott, Rob Lowe, Liv Schreiber (who did the voice over for HBO's 24/7 last year), Ludacris (ya that one), Sabres Goalie and US Olympian Ryan Miller, and a bunch of others you might recognize.

I'm guessing the Gibney documentary about Chris Nilan from his Montreal Canadians days will be the best of the bunch.

Here is an article about the three hockey movies stealing the show at the recent Toronto Film Festival.
