Puckish Politics

In an apparent effort to solidify Sarah Palin's "hockey cred" Flyers owner Ed Snider (a McCain campaign supporter/contributor and fan of the Iraq war) invited America's most famous "hockey mom" to drop the puck at the Flyers vs Rangers game last night.  Not surprisingly, hockey is also playing a role in the election campaign currently underway in Canada. The leader of the Liberal Party, Stephane Dion, apparently thought it would be good politics to be filmed playing a little ball hockey. Unfortunately Dion's handlers were unaware that their leader would be shooting on some guy who plays like a freakish hybrid of Brodeur & Luongo wearing a pair of Ken Dryden's old Kenesky pads.
