    Never get caught trying to tell a hockey player it’s just a game. Never get caught trying to explain to him all the things in the world that matter so much more. His mind might well acknowledge the truth to your point, but his soul would be powerless to accept it. Considering the immensity of what he gives to the sport, & the immeasurability of all it offers in return. Nothing ever feels as perfect as a moment of flawlessness on the ice. No bond is string as one that compels brothers to bleed for one another. Not many leaders will disperse in the craft of motivation. Not many pursuits can evoke such visions of brilliance. This is why it hurts so much when skill falls short of what the will desires. This is why it’s so unforgettable when absolute passion yields ultimate reward. And that’s all just the start….of what the game can do to you. ‎”The stakes rise as the season continues from here…. while you watch from a distance remember what was validated up close….hockey may very well be just a game, but it’s also who they are
    The monologue during the finale of Rangers/Flyers 24/7, narrated by Liev Schrieber

    Anaheim Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller really likes Movember. He liked it so much he made an awesome mask to raise awareness and money for Cancer.

    But despite some of our initial assumptions, the kiss seen ‘round the world wasn’t the product of a riot-fueled, uncontrollable passion. Brett Jones instead notes that Thomas was injured and his son was coming to her aid. An alternate angle taken from above shows other bystanders later attempting to help Thomas and Jones.

    Combine that different angle with Brett Jones’ story and it certainly dispels the rumors that the couple had intentionally staged the photo.

    “They were between the riot police and the rioters, and the riot police were actually charging forward, and Alex got knocked by a [police] shield and fell to the ground,” Brett Jones told CBC News. “[Scott] was comforting her and gave her a kiss to say, ‘It’s going to be OK,’ and the photographer just took the shot at that moment.”

    So, apparently, the kiss wasn’t fake. It wasn’t a spontaneous thing, but not staged.
