We all need a break from serious discussion of news do we not? “All work and no play…” and all that jazz, right? Especially come Wednesday, the midpoint of our week of drudgery, still a few days off from those two days a freedom we wake up dreaming about every Monday morning.

So why can’t we have a little levity to our hockey week as well? I think we can, and figure there are a few people out there who don’t mind something a little more light-hearted every once in a while either. With that in mind I’d like to re-kick off the “Hump Day Hockey Video” posts, a weekly snippet of hockey footage that is more entertainment-based in some way, shape, or form. Might be funny, jaw-dropping, an extreme talent, or one of those moments where guys simply take time to laugh at the pain of another guy. Whatever the case, each week I’ll drop in a different video, and perhaps a pic or two, to lift us out of the mid-week slump.

This is in no way an attempt to be doing anything mind blowing! Simple entertainment is the explicit goal and as such we’re not looking to churn out Pulitzer Prize level posts with this. My only goal is that a few people may get a bit of a laugh or a simple temporary mid-week “mental flush”. Plain and simple.

I hope it has its intended effect for some out there!
