Song of the... Just Click Play...The Mystery of the Missing Hockey Star

Three types of people know the story of Bill Barilko: Canadians, Hockey Fans, or "Tragically Hip" fans (in most cases it's all three).

"In April 1951, in one of the most dramatic moments in hockey history, defenceman Bill Barilko scores the goal that takes the Stanley Cup for the Maple Leafs. Four months later he disappears in the northern Ontario wilderness.
The Leafs didn't win another cup until 1962... the year Barilko's body was discovered"

Since Hockey is in full effect, I thought I would share with you a band who is synonymous with the great sport.
Today's song is "Fifty Mission Cap" off of the CD "Fully Completely". The song is about the Leafs, and the disappearance of Bill Barilko.

I hope you like the tune, The Hip is somewhat of a love em or hate em kind of band (kind of like Hockey is a Love it or hate it kind of sport).

Here is a bonus for all you Rock and Hockey fans out there, "Lonely Side of the Rink" by the Tragically Hip...

Wild Beat Colorado 3-2

Pictured above: Formerly with L.A. (Kings), Carolina, Nashville (for one day), and Atlanta. Number 25, Eric Belanger has found his home here in the State of Hockey (a.k.a. land of 10,000 rinks). Even though he did not score last night - he is fast becoming one of my new favorites on the team. On the Same line as Brian Rolston, and Pierre-Marc Bouchard (this line has scored over 17 points in 6 games).

Great Game last night, here's the Game Summary for all you Hockey nerds...

LET'SPLAYHOCKEY!!!!!

This is my second consecutive season of NOT watching ANY professional football - Fuck em - No more Football! The NFL has now became the same "shit fest" as the NBA (Both of which I used to truly love)..
I will NEVER be a soccer fan (I can't wrap the old cranium around that one).
Now, I get my football jones with College football - I'm digging Ohio State these days, My wife is only half excited about my new football policy. If I was a Gopher Football fan... Well, I may as well be a Vikings fan... a disappointed, drunken, angry, broken man.
In Minnesota, we are born into this world with hockey sticks in our hands - and after a LONG, HOT, SUMMER *** THIS STORY *** made my day! It truly shows the passion we have for "stick" in Minnesota.
