I can think of a few 'players' they could call up... (4) Slap Shot - Unleash Ogie Olgilthorpe - YouTube

Hope you get to feeling better soon!

So the classic 'I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out' will be said? I'm gonna edit this to add a fun experience from a game I went to couple years ago. Roanoke (Railyard Dawgs, SPHL) playing Fayetteville in a home/home series. Not sure what happened the night before in Fayetteville, but BEFORE the puck was dropped 3 separate fights started with the lined up players! I think the game started 3 on 3 with 70+ minutes of penalty time before the puck even dropped lol.

Pffftt....wait until 55 or so...

Thanks, that was a bit iffy. On phone with fiancée and told her I was gonna step into the hallway when *wham* they started falling.

So, just got power back here, I had a 66 mph gust on the weather station and have 4 trees down on my property. Two missed the house by 10 feet and are laying in front yard. That was most impressive. Between 2:45- 2:50 pm. All were pulled over with big chunks of root balls, biggest tree brought a 10 foot by 10 foot slab of dirt with it.

Lots of booming here in last 15 minutes

Yep, reminds you that the U G L I E S are on the way......

Just missed a record warm minimum by 0.6 degrees this morning....yay. NOT!
