Where Have I Heard That Before?

"'For the last month, our team has been playing Game 7,' Kolzig said."

No, that's not a week-old quote from Olie on the pressure his NHL squad had been under from early-March on, but rather a reference to the Tri-City Americans, the WHL team Olie and Stu Barnes co-own - it's good to see Olie going green and recycling talking points.

Kolzig's Amerks now find themselves in a 3-2 hole in their series with Spokane, which featured one of the biggest hits you'll ever see in Game 5, with Game 6 on tap tonight.

Man, you feel bad for that guy, because you have to think he got a concussion on the play. That is an old school hit, that's for sure.
As Don Cherry would say, "you've gotta keep your head up, kids."

You know it's a big hit when the guy delivering it - who saw it all the way - goes flying.

Rant time!!! (you are warned)

====================

I think Olie took a puck to the head some time this season. "For the last month, our team has been playing Game 7" ? Really? They were neck and neck with Spokane for the U.S. Division lead and with Spokane and Vancouver for the Western Conference lead. I hardly consider that Game 7 material. First round of the playoffs? 4-0 over Kamloops. Round 2? 4-1 over Seattle (I am 0-3 in playoffs this year).

Someone get Olie a cold beer and some ice for his neck, I think he's got heat stroke or something

(end of rant)

Ha. Maybe he was talking about the Caps after all (though it would make absolutely no sense in context).
