Quote of the Day

"The power forward is the Holy Grail of hockey archetypes, the perfect confluence of everything Canadian hockey fans want: the imposing size, aggressive temperament, and fanatical work ethic of a beloved fourth-line grinder combined with the scoring instincts of a first-line superstar. Once human cloning is perfected, within three years the first two lines of all six Canadian teams will be comprised entirely of Jarome Iginlas and reverse-Iginlas flanking Sidney Crosbys. In the meantime, however, the quest for the power forward remains one of the prevailing aspirations of almost every GM."

From the very excellent Habs blog, 'Theory of Ice', where philosophical insight and loggorhea co-mingle with a die hard Habs passion. It's essentially the polar opposite of the awesome Oiler blog 'Lowetide' where historical tidbits and Hemingway-esque concision is the rule.
