Abusive Relationship

Well, the paramedics were sent in to Kanata, Ontario last night some time in the late second period, and prevented a mass choking event that appeared to be well on its way. The obstruction of the Senators' airways could be heard across Canada (that is if you could block out the sound of Harry Neale and Bob Cole's atrocious play-by-play). But now instead of 3-0, its 2-1 and a series has broken out. Pronger should get suspended for at least a game for his elbow to McAmmond, more if you take into consideration the proximity to his hit from behind in the Detroit series. Its one thing to play aggressively and with fire, its another to play dangerously. Add to that the events around his departure from Edmonton after a season last year, and you're looking at one unclassy player.

Speaking of dangerous blows to the head, Carolyn needs a two game suspension for her actions. I took a Chronicles of Narnia DVD in the nose thrown by her while I had dozed off on the futon waiting for her to pick a movie. The claim is that it was intended to land on my chest, but I am not willing to believe that. Abuse I tell you.

The movie itself was okay, for the parts where I wasn't asleep, but talk about some bad green-screen special effects. Maybe the people at the Weta workshop responsible for LOTR have set the bar too high for themselves with effects in these fantasy movies now, but there were some moments in there that look like they could have come straight off the same special effects stage as some 80's classic like Willow or Labyrinth, without the additional bonus of David Bowie in an 80's power rock mullet wig or little people midgets.

As an aside, you haven't seen anything until you've seen a midget with a mullet.
