From the Broadcast Booth: Game Two in Victoria Tonight
STEELHEADS @ SALMON KINGS: TAYLOR ON THE COMEBACK TRAIL
Wednesday’s game marked the fifth time this season the Steelheads were tied with their opponent in the third period. However, like the four such games before Wednesday’s, the Steelheads were unable to earn a win. They’re 2-3-3, but they’ve been close. Remember, even last season’s offensive juggernaut was playing a lot of low-scoring, tight games early in the season. They’ll be fine. On a side note, It’s good to see Justin Taylor making a nice comeback early in the season after missing 2009-10 with an injury. He has been factoring into the Steelheads side of the scoresheet nicely.
ON THE MARK
Mark Derlago continues his offensive magic. He has eight goals in eight games to start the season, and has points in six consecutive contests. With goals at a premium right now, this isn’t only great to see, but it needs to continue.
SUSHI PIZZA
I like sushi; a lot. I like pizza, but not as much as sushi. Put them together, and you have my lunch yesterday in Victoria. That’s right, Victoria broadcaster Jeff Harris and I had sushi pizza for lunch at an establishment called Shizen.
NUNS CASH IN
The Honus Wagner 1909-11 T206 is the icon of baseball cards.
The iconic sports trading card of all-time is the 1909-11 T206 Honus Wagner. It turns out some nuns had one left to them, and sold the card for $262,000. Click here for more. Hopefully everyone in the nunnery’s getting a 50″ flat screen in time to catch tonight’s Steelheads-Salmon Kings game.
IT’S JUST A HORSE
People make fun of me for being an enthusiast of professional wrestling. Meanwhile, a bigger deal is being made about this horse “Zenyatta” than any human sports story this side of Brett Favre’s antics. Come on folks! It’s a horse. The best horse of all-time is still the recurring character on the Ren & Stimpy Show: Mr. Horse. A close second: Mr. Ed. The moral of the story: the only cool horses are the ones that talk and have names including the world “Mister”.
Mr. Horse's favorite phrase was "No sir, I don't like it."
This DVD is quality fun for the whole family.
