Halak Didn’t Get Shallacked!

Hey Larenzo,

Glad you liked my post! The commentators were just throwing out verbal candy left and right. They were real "blink and you'll miss it" moments, so I wanted to record as many of the little gems as possible.

Thanks for the details about the gloves - never knew that. However, I watched the Colburn moment and you know how the term "distinct kicking motion" is now part of parlance? Well, now I think we can add "distinct pissed off throwing motion" can be added!

Dear Susan;

I found your little anecdotal recall of some of the expressions used during the Habs/Flyers game quite humorous. As for your bolded query about Colburn's hurling of the puck down the ice, funny thing. I did the exact same thing in a playoff game of my own recently. It's actually easier to do than you think - with the way the "armadillo thumb" is on hockey gloves (to protect from hyper-extension), if you try to put your glove around the puck, even just to bat at it, it often will get caught in that nook area between the thumb/fingers. I sat two minutes also.

Good stuff, -here's to hoping Halak doesn't get schllacked again in the series... - I think he's back in his grove, and the Canadiens can finally score!
