Lafleur hot dogs

If you've ever been to a hockey game in Montreal, then you've surely enjoyed the hot dogs. (We'll endorse this posting with plenty of caveats) They're so widely enjoyed that today ESPN's EJ Hradek mentioned them as one of his 10 (wacky) things to love about hockey. Honestly, those dogs are half the reason it's worth going to a game up in Montreal. While some might argue that the Youppi fan zone alone is worth the price of admission, these Lafleur hot dogs are the best sports stadium hot dogs around. If you sit in the Desjardins section, the all you can eat included in the price of your ticket allows you to indulge as many of these dogs as you please. Now that's good business!

this definitely wins gaiest blog post ever, hands down - too much info 'bout boeuf for my tastes...

As a self-deprecating Ranger fan of twenty years, the team I've loved for so long is not making any progress quickly. Stuck with a lost coach, an MIA GM, and an egomaniac owner who knows less about hockey than Gary Bettman, it appears as though it will be another 41 years until we win another Stanley Cup. So, what are the short term options? To save the the Penguins and move them to the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn! The Penguins are poised to be the next dynasty in sports yet are potentially doomed to be moved to a hillbilly market that will further destroy the image and decrease the popularity of the already floundering NHL. What better for a league in thick turmoil than to move its marquee franchise to the #1 sports market in North America. Think about the profits that could be reaped with Sidney Crosby playing in the #1 media market? With all of Mario Lemieux's concerns in buidling a new arena, he should turn to Brooklyn-the new Nets arena, the Frank Gehry designed Barclays Center will be ready for business in three seasons when the Penguins biggest starts will only be still in their early 20s!Imagine the country's most promising franchise and one of hockey's most exciting teams ever playing in New York City in the most state of the art building in the country. The possibilities are endless.
