Get out there and vote!
Not sure how many of you tuned in to the CBC this week to watch the 5 leaders go head to head. Was a very exciting matchup, and the anticipation had really been building for me.
Yes, that's right, the top 5 finalists in the Hockey Night in Canada theme song contest were announced on CBC last night - this really is a critical turning point in the history of this country. Arguably the effects of this particular vote may well last longer then the federal election (although that's an important one to get out and vote for too!)
I have to confess that three of the songs I didn't much like, but there's 2 I think I could live with. I've cast my vote you should too! Click here to hear them and vote.

Make Mamma Proud!
This guy achieved something that Mamma's be proud of. Detroit was beating Calgary 5-1 in the 3rd, so Calgary pulled Miika Kiprussof and put in their backup goalie Jamie McLennan.
Like I said, something special. This guy lasted eighteen(18) seconds before losing his cool and slashing a detroit player across the chest with his goalie stick. Eighteen seconds before being ejected from the game. Way to go Jamie!! Calgary was then forced to put Kiprusoff back in net for the rest of the game.
Anyways, Superstar McLennan has been suspended 5 games, the coach was fined $25k and the team was fined $100k. Can't imagine they consider that "bang for buck"
