...Too quiet.
There hasn’t been much going on in the hockey world these last few days. You were warned long ago that the dog days were coming, and they are officially here, so let’s talk about some random things, shall we?
There’s a big fight scheduled this weekend, apparently. Mayweather has to win... He just has to win.
In other news, I learned yesterday that the ECHL’s official name is NOT East Coast Hockey League, but rather... simply... ECHL. It was changed after the league added teams that weren’t located on the East Coast back in 2003. Somehow I didn’t know about that change before.
I’m going to Phoenix this weekend, where the temperature is forecasted at 109 degrees both Saturday and Sunday, and that’s NOT on the Kelvin scale. Planning to golf Sunday. Pray for me. I can’t believe they added a SECOND NHL team to the desert.
In honor of how hot I’m going to be this weekend, here is a video from Hot Hot Heat.
