I'm so thankful that my parents had the decency to give me a name that was different but also not stupid. They gave me an important sounding name. My name requires me to live up to it.

 

You think your name is tough to live up to. Going through the wife's family on ancestry.com and came acrossed a "Christ Gillmeister". Now THERE's a higher standard.

The 2nd ranked international goalie prospect stands over 6'5 with a 0.931 SV% in the Czech league and he won't turn 18 until August.

This is a really interesting article... but I am completely lost as to why you posted it in this particular thread lol.

 

 

Doh. I noticed the goalie prospects (including Mack-daddy) are almost all lefties. That drove me to this article from a while back sorta explaining the bias in the NHL (featuring Vokoun), then somehow I got to the one in Boston about shooters. Interneting.

Way to derail the thread.

You know he'll go by Darth.

 

I know nothing about this kid except that post and I already desperately want him.

Some. Fun. Hockey. Please.

Mack Black.

 

I've seen him play about a half dozen times, not outstanding but pretty good for an 18 year old.

He was chased from the playoffs last year, but again, he was only 17 then.

Our scouts have probably seen him a lot due to bring on Lemieux's team.

He's from Thunder Bay which produced the Staal's and Patrick Sharp.

These guys are tough to project at 18. Here are some Canadian world junior goalies have had good tournaments but not much success in the NHL:

Jimmy Waite, Jamie Storr, Maxime Ouellette, Justin Pogge.

Black wood isn't even on World Junior radar either.

Even if it is a girl, if she's got the NHL skills I'd draft her.

 

Maybe that's what it'll take for this team to finally stand up for a goalie?

 

You got me, I had to google Racki. Saw Youngblood but didn't remember that name. He's not that tough if Rob Lowe beat him up!

 

Lee Fogolin Sr. was from Thunder Bay, tough player from the 50s.

 

Racki was clearly battling some undisclosed injury.

What about "Meathead Rob Lowe", I think he could take him......bro

 

 

Edit: If you don't have directv look that one up.

The problem is that Racki didn't have a half blind older brother to train with in a barn for a montage. If Racki had had a montage he might have won.

a comic i follow on twitter (jenny johnson) had the following line/tweet last night:

 

Are you fu*#ing kidding me?" - nurses in the maternity ward at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles when parents reveal their baby's name

 

 

I came across this awful buzzfeed list. http://www.buzzfeed.com/morganshanahan/21-hipster-baby-names-that-take-it-up-a-notch

 

While the list itself is stupid, the comments are what had me wanting to cry. I guess these are the hippy names of my generation.

 

Let's make a modern baby name generator- slot one, names of 20th century inventors/scientists/tech references. Slot two, superhero (male or female, or let your kid choose!)

Tesla Thor! Buzz Voltron! (buzzfeed and buzz aldrin yay) Edison Hulk!

 

God. At least it's not Mackenzee or something.

 

Actually, I think I'd want Buzz Voltron (last name here) on my hockey team.

Steve Sullenberger. Not sure I'm doing this right.
