Thursday Night Pre-Game Movie: Beowulf. I am so sick of Hollywood remaking every old movie or book they can get their hands on. It's nice to finally see them come up with an original idea for a film.
Friday Afternoon Pre-Game Song: Cum on Feel the Noize by Slade. Last week, I mentioned the Quiet Riot version of this song and, in what is possibly my favorite comment ever, reader RR pointed out that rock legends Slade song the original version. A quick YouTube search produced the most beautiful video I've ever seen. Slade reminds me of a simpler time, back when it was all about the music...and dressing yourself up with as many ridiculous affectations as possible.
Games I'd Want to See If I Had Unlimited Funds: All of four of the Showcase games involving Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Michigan State should be pretty entertaining, and luckily enough, I'll be at two of them.
Controversial Play That a WCHA Official Will Probably Screw-Up: A combination of holiday spirit, and the fact WCHA refs will have half as many opportunities to screw up as a normal week leads to me to keep this section blank.
Cliche Arena Song of the Week: "Eye of the Tiger" What else needs to be said? The category was created for Eye of the Tiger.
Picks to Click
Last week: 2 goals, 2 assists, 2 goals against, 2 wins
Turkey: White Meat
Stuffing: Traditional Sage
Pie: Pumpkin
Arena Food of the Week: Smuggled in leftovers. Most arenas have some sort of policy about not bringing in outside food, but there has to be at least 5 places on your person that you can stash your delicious holiday leftovers(Actually, 6 places if you're creative, 7 if you've got a high tolerance for pain).
Funny Joke that Somebody Else Wrote: I usually end up butchering these jokes by typing them out, so I'll go the YouTube route again. I don't know why, but this set from Matt Fulchiron is one of my favorites.

Beowulf is a 1000 year old poem, how is that an original idea for a film??
congrats, you got his point.
Hey that video was pretty good. Much better than the show I was at. By the way the singer wearing the top hat's name is "Noddy Holder". There is a pretty good history of the band at www.allmusic.com
Some pretty funny pictures too.
And by IceBreaker, you of course mean Showcase.
Last time you picked UMD to sweep in a GCS, we did. Good to go.
Yeah, Showcase. That would have been awkward when I showed up at the XCel Center.
As usual, entertaining. Look forward to your comments every Thursday. Great job...
Gophers don't need to play over the Thanksgiving break. Everyone already knows they are awesome.
Prediction....the over rated and terribly coached Gophers will lose both games this weekend.
cum?
Cum...yes...as in that's how it's spelled in the song title.
Not to be confused with Kum...as in the Kum n' Go gas station chain in the Midwest. Well, that's what they claim to be but you'd never know by that name!
So, any guesses as to when the Nanooks will win a game? Gotta be pretty depressing with a new coach and all. Poor guys.
And the Gophers get BOMBED by Michigan. Is it time for Lucia to get fired yet????
