The Hockey Head Squad

Today Vengeance and I were having a discussion about sports while watching men's NCAA basketball. And somehow we started talking about hockey and V. mentioned that hockey is considering using blue ice. To which I replied they should consider figuring out how to have a season. Somehow this led to a discussion of how to improve the ratings for hockey (what can I say we love sports). Anyway, we figured that one thing that would help is if the hockey puck...which many non fans say is too small and fast and thus makes hockey hard to follow...was replaced with the heads of hated individuals, whenever said head should become available. Since the NHL has had difficulty coming up with good ideas, we though we'd suggest who should be part of what we are calling the Hockey Head Squad (name may be subject to revision).

HOCKEY HEAD SQUAD
  1. OJ
  2. Scott Petersen
  3. Kobe Bryant
  4. Bud Selig
  5. Jose Canseco
  6. George W.
  7. Dick Cheney
  8. Michael Powell (aka Little Powell, aka Daddy's Lil' Fascist, aka I hate the 1st amendment--name inspired by He Hate Me)
  9. Tubby Smith (aka Dad to Gigi and a female Prince Impersonator who impersonated a male point guard)
  10. Gary Barnett
  11. The Walt Disney Corporation (We are under the impression that Uncle Walt's head is available immediately and already frozen for hockey use)
  12. Dick Vitale (who we refer to exclusively as Dickie V)
As a note Rick Pitino should by all rights be on this list, but recently he managed to seem amazingly human on an episode of Pardon the Interruption so we decided to give him temporary clemency....but we're watching you Rickie P.
