The name hockey comes from the French word “hoquet”, which is a shepherd’s crook.
* Originally, games were played with 9 players on a side.

9 players a side and you weren't allowed to pass the puck or rock hard frozen cow dung forward. You had to pass it backwards to move forward like rugby.

What if you're standing on said curb ?

How about stop giving the government all our money, all our corporation's money, so they can "decide" the best way to spend OUR money.

Our governement was founded for 1 reason. To protect us from FOREIGN invasion. Not to make endless laws, not to provide for struggling citizens... Be rebelled against a system that TAXED the hell out of us, only to find ourselves at the mercy of another governement doing the same... I cant believe that HALF of my salary has to go for state and federal taxes.. HALF... And what the hell is it being spent one... well my step sister uses her medicade to get botox injections in her armpits because she sweats alot... And my neighbors daughter got 7 free abortions.... I'm sooo glad I was able to help with that....

Think that's bad? I work for the Canadian military and though I am not covered for contacts because they are considered cosmetic, the military will pay fully for sex change operations/hormone shots. My tax dollars at work.

In Springfield.. it's illegal to put squirrels in your pants for the purposes of gambling.

Jakub Voracek took part in Thursday's skate without limitations and could return against Buffalo. "I'm not used to missing games," he said. "Hopefully I'll go tonight. If it's not going to be tonight, it'll be Saturday. We'll see." Voracek missed Sunday's game with an upper-body injury, but he appears to be likely to return.

We can always trade Briere and Bryzgalov to Columbus, heard their willing to waive the no trade clauses. Thats my favorite one.

If you read the comments to that I tried explaining to the youngman what was wrong with that. I think after a lenghty debate he has learned something

He's a new writer so I gave him some slack but hes got to re-evaluate his approach to these things. Like I told him you can write what you want but sooner or later your career will sink or swim with your credibility. It is hard getting started to come up with ideas and all but gotta stay grounded in reality.

federal tax receipts this year are expected to be about 14.8 percent of GDP. By contrast that figure was 17.5 percent in Bush’s last full year in office.

USA Today analysis: found last year that if we include everything -- federal, state, and local taxes, including income, property, sales, and other taxes -- the percentage of personal income that's paid in taxes is still at its lowest level since 1950.
