This Way Lies Pladness

Are you a Hockey fan? Do you find uniform design interesting? Well then, check out the story on very special Plaid Uniforms worn by the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League. (Affiliation - Nashville Predators) -- My icon shows the regular jersey designs...

( Tell me how much more awesome this is than a plain white jersey... )

I think I kind of want one of these. It's mesmerizing. You could skate at ludicrous speed. How could any goalie defend against someone dressed like that? It's just not possible.

Olympics Note - Sasha Cohen fell on her tuchus and got Silver. Very sad for her. People will remember Michelle Kwan as the skater who kept getting beat. They'll remember Sasha as the skater who choked.

Both the US and Canada hockey teams have been bounced. It's only mildly disappointing for the US, because our team is old and slow. Which, really, is a sorry indicator on the quality of under-30 US Hockey players. It's crusing for the Canadians. They've got young players, they've got great players, how can they not even score against Switzerland? My expectation is either Finland or Russia for gold. I like Alex Ovechkin, but I have a longstanding practice of rooting for the Finns the minute the US is eliminated, for no reason other than I think Finnish names sound awesome.
