Apparently my article on common mechanisms of spinal cord injury in Canadian amateur hockey, and their implications for the NHL, was successfully nominated for the Sports Blog Nation front page, as part of the discussion about the Alexander Ovechkin hit on Brian Campbell last weekend. Hot damn.

I've been busy…
…but I’ve found time to link an article I read for school to the recent run of cheap shots in the NHL, and ponder the effect of fans and the media on the NHL’s relative inaction.
In other news, Hitmen start their playoffs against the Moose Jaw Warriors tomorrow night. Prediction: Hitmen are awesome. That is all.
No, I actually don't write anymore…
Look, folks. Let’s face facts. The Oilers fucking suck this year. I tried to hold out optimism as long as possible, but after seeing them drop seven of eight and fall into the Western basement, and looking at the amount of other shit I could be doing instead — Hitmen season tickets, podcasts, magazine subscriptions, TV shows, video games — to say nothing of work and school, it became pretty easy to let this one slide. But since I’ve been watching the World Juniors, anyway, I figured I might as well keep tabs on the Oilers prospects in the tournament: Jordan Eberle (CAN), Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson and Anton Lander (SWE), and Teemu Hartikainen and Toni Rajala (FIN). I’ve been posting daily(ish) updates on C&B, listed below. Enjoy.
