Nice to see Mike Knuble as a coach even if it's just for this event.

Unrelated story:

My dad helps out with Investigational Drug Services at his hospital. He and his team are the ones who actually keep track of and distribute control/active treatment to wherever they need to go. Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, etc.

Well one study they were overseeing just got the plug pulled. I don't know the details, but it was a drug that caused fetal harm. Naturally, everyone in the study was given treatment AND condoms so no one eventually had a (frank)ed up baby. (obviously if you were NOT given condoms you'd know you were taking placebo, so everyone got condoms to keep the blind legitimate). But yeah- the study was discontinued.

I've been living in Malvern during the weekdays with a long time family friend since they're 20 minutes from my rotation site (which happens to be right next to Ice Line if you know where that is), where my actual home is like 1 hr+. I come home last night and discover a BROWN SHOPPING BAG OF CONDOMS sitting on my bed. 36 packs of sheep skin, couple kinds of Trojans, and magnums. I expressed confusion, and mom, dad, and my brother cracked up while my dad told me about the study. He works with all girls and they put the bag on his desk as a joke.

"Take your pick! Everything is in date and officially okay'd by the FDA. No holes in these! But if you grab magnums I'll rip your Richard off."

I've never laughed so hard. What a time to be alive.

He seems like the kind of guy who would make a great coach.

Yeah, but 2 goalies won individual awards during his tenure which means he was a success.

He was great with Pelle, but he never seemed the same after his protege's tragic death.
I just don't think his heart was really into it after that. He and Pelle though, were like father and son.

That's pretty good. Reminds me of an old joke.

During the height of the cold war, Gorbachev reached out to Reagan for help with an embarrassing problem. Russia had completely run out of condoms. Gorbachev asked the President if America would be willing to help. Reagan agreed to send some as quickly as possible.

Reagan then called the president of Trojan, and asked for their help.

"I want you to send 50 cases of the largest size condom you make," Reagan told the president. "On one side of the condom, I want you to print the words 'Made in the USA'. On the other side, print the words...

Extra Small."

I used to work with an older guy who used to be a "wild man." Actually, he was kinda wild in a more facepalm way as he was older, too.

Anyway, he used to entertain us with stories of his former glory days; for instance, when his buddy who was a "bad dude" opened the door of his car doing 75mph on the highway to nail the supposed motorcyclist who was supposedly speeding past them close to the car.

One day, he tells us that he worked at a Rite Aid/Walgreens/RX Place/etc. (can't remember the name) and that he and a coworker used to go around punching pinholes in the back of condom boxes, and then proceeded to laugh, thinking this was about the best prank ever. We all just kind of looked at each other and thought what a horrible person he was.

The day I lost all respect for Tie Domi. Even with the Ulfie sucker punch, well, it was Ulfie, so I was sorta okay with it.

When Domi went after Burt and was sucker punching him, I was so angry I threw my remote across the room in to a mirror, shattering both the mirror and the remote. To this day I still hate his guts. That hatred has been transferred over to his stinkin' son.

(frank) Tie Domi I hope his whole family dies in a fire.

I will never forget that. I was at a family event at my uncles house and everyone was going nuts. I thought my uncle was going to have a stroke. Sandy even did the chicken wings to Domi as he went to the box. What a turd
