As mentioned in the most exciting post you'll ever see on this blog, there are many blogs by the name "Puttin' On The Foil." Seriously, do a google search and you'll find one for just about every NHL team. Now why might that be? Well, probably because Slapshot is one of the greatest hockey movies ever made*, and besides which, it is also one of the most quotable**. I believe we rented Slapshot around the time of my first NHL game. All I know is, the movie was instantly a favorite, and still remains one of my favorite movies, which is rare (usually I get tired of movies pretty quickly). Anyhow, back to the whole there are a million blogs by this title idea. Basically, the URLs featuring the simple line puttinonthefoil or puttingonthefoil or a number of different variations were all taken, so I resorted to my second favorite one-liner line from the movie: When Steve Hanson tells the ref he's listening to the anthem. Yes, I did leave a word out of the quotation when I typed it up for the URL. That was intentional.
*Not a debatable point.
**Even less of a debatable point
