And holy carp--you didn't even use the word "goalie" or any of its derivatives! But that's what's special: the intangibles beyond the game.<br /><br />We would be remiss to assume hockey is the only sport with extra intangibles to adore; but like you, I'm the last authority on that matter. Though on a microcosmic scale in comparison to hockey, I have a similar admiration for world soccer. If that kind of thing could exist for "boring" ol' soccer, then I'll posit that anything's possible.<br /><br />Oh, and you used "taint" and "shenanigans" in the same post. That's got to be good for a free lunch somewhere.Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539481507138014677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705820500334920463.post-48911343385792404142009-08-14T22:41:04.119-05:002009-08-14T22:41:04.119-05:00Great list!

And now we are off for a week. So keep blogging, I'll be checking in from time to time so's not to loose contact with 'icy love'...
