What can you say - hockey players are different.
You ever had 7 teeth knocked out?
Me neither.
I would imagine it hurts like a bastard, but besides that I figure I'd go into some kind of shock, then they'd bring a stretcher and carry me to a barstool til the priest arrived.
Duncan Keith let them put needles in his mouth and then he... came back out to play hockey.
And then the damndest thing happened: the Chicago Blackhawks swept the San Jose Sharks, and now they get to go play for the 2010 Stanley Cup. Probably against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Amazing.
For details and a great story read David Haugh - he's way better than me.
And in another part of the country, the Cubs messed with Texas, and it was awesome.
The impossible man, Carlos Silva, is now 6-0 as the Cubs take 2 of 3 from the Rangers. Alfonso Soriano with the big homer early and at the end of inning numero uno the Cubs had 4 runs and the Rangers zip.
We got to see newly acquired Bob Howry do pretty much what you expected - he came in in a tough situation with guys on and gives up a hit to the first guy he faced, scoring a run. Ahh, but why be negative? Sean Marshall was his usual brilliant self, and then Marmol. Probably the most exciting player on the team, that guy - his last pitch was just a little bit of negative space that Vlad Guerrero could only stare at after the ball went by.
Cubs 5 Rangers 4.
Pretty great day for Chicago sports.
And just to continue the visual content overload, I sadly watched the last episode of "Lost".
Yeah, pretty sappy ending there, but still that was years of amazing television.
R.I.P. Jack Shepherd.
