Immediately after the game NHL league officials reassured a group of recoiling reporters Ryan Getzlaf had nothing to do with the incident.

I foresee a lot of icing in his future.

Posted by: Bill Hudgins | January 24, 2016 at 02:47 PM

Did he tweet via the technology, or is that just how his remark came out?

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 24, 2016 at 03:10 PM

It may have saved his bacon, but his eggs are now scrambled!

Posted by: PirateBoy | January 24, 2016 at 03:32 PM

I wonder how well he will perform in the crease.

He's soon to be the spokesman for either Limp Bizkit, or Viagra.

Posted by: PirateBoy | January 24, 2016 at 07:26 PM

His cup runneth over.

Happened to me once. Remember it clearly.

Go Denver! Yet another Manning in the Super Bowl.

Oopsie! I can't use the "S-Word". as that is a copyrighted phase.

Yet another Manning in the Big Game!

Nah! That sounds terrible! I'll just take my chances.

Denver wins SuperBowl 50 by 4 points! I'm predicitng the future here....

Posted by: PirateBoy | January 24, 2016 at 08:06 PM

@PirateBoy - predicting future is a bit more difficult that predicting past. By the way, do you also know the Super Ball numbers?

Posted by: Loki | January 24, 2016 at 08:26 PM

Loki - Yes, they range between 1 and 68... ;)

Couple years ago, I was ref'ing a youth football game. Running back comes charging toward the line with the ball. Defender had been blocked to the ground, but is struggling to get up, manages to get his head and shoulders partway off the ground and meets the running back, helmet to groin. Running back goes down like a sack of potatoes and is writhing on the ground, grabbing himself. I run over to check on him. He sees me, rolls onto his back, and asks an epic question: "Ref, am I gonna have kids?"

All the Moms on the sidelines started to laugh when they realized where he'd been hurt. He wasn't wearing protection. There was no sympathy shown as a result.
