While the NHLPA may have signed off on the league’s new headshot rule, one NHL referee is blowing the whistle on the whole thing.
Kerry Fraser, the league’s most senior official with more than 29 years of experience, says it’s ridiculous to modify the rulebook in mid-season.
“Sure the NHL and its players want to reduce injuries, but they need to study the long-term effects of a rule change before implementing it,” said Fraser. “A safer working environment is nice, but at what cost?”
Fraser says the last time the league tried to curb head injuries it cost him more than $5 million in endorsements.

You’ve been murdered. Gunned down, choked to death, maybe even stabbed a couple times. You’re dead. Which kind of sucks because you had a nice little run going on there.
The only brightside is that instead of living life to the fullest you were hard at work watching television. Cop shows, mainly. You’ve seen countless murders and a seemingly limitless array of criminals brought to justice. Most importantly, you’ve come to know the men and women hunting these killers. You understand how they work and how they get results.
It’s this knowledge that’s going to help Aaron, Sara and Steve (that’s me) rest easy in the afterlife. Even though we’ve been murdered (and in Aaron’s case, raped), we know our respective killers will be put behind bars. Why? Because, in an Internet first, we’ve carefully selected the TV characters that will help put them there, each drafting an all-star team of investigators.
The ground rules: Seven picks a piece, snake draft format, each person can only select one character from a particular show.
So, who drafted the best team? Which of your favourite TV cops didn’t make the list? Read on to find out.

I am a potato chip connoisseur. I guarantee I have tried more flavours than you. Every time I leave my house, I seek out new brands. I even explored the idea of having a nacho train at my wedding.
During the Super Bowl, snack holiday of the year, many chip mistakes were made around the continent. I could bear it no longer. I had to do something. I had to make a difference. So, with March Madness just around the corner, I’m sharing my chip wisdom with all of you.
You have my word that I do not take this task lightly. I have put in the research it takes. I am not shilling cheap and tolerable, I am selling quality.
Like the knowledge fathers give to their sons, and mothers share with their daughters, what I’m about to tell you must be passed on through the generations.

Both Canada’s Ashleigh McIvor and Lindsey Vonn of the U.S. are Olympic champions in their respective sports, but which skier is hotter? After devoting hours of research to the topic, I decided the only way to settle this was to evaluate these sexy ladies in 21 separate categories. What follows is the most scientific, ambitious hottie evaluation of its kind:

Chances are if you watch sports you own a high-definition television. In fact, watching a game without one almost seems pointless. The blood, the sweat, the tears, the lovely bouncing breasts of a female tennis star, all right there in your living room. What could possibly be better? Well, I’ll tell you. Nature documentaries. Specifically, Life, the BBC’s follow-up to the award-winning Planet Earth, now airing in Canada on the Discovery Channel.
Just like Planet Earth, Life is filmed with “revolutionary high-speed cameras, taking the viewer to seemingly impossible locations while capturing rare footage of the world’s most interesting and elusive creatures.” Okay, I took that from the back of my Planet Earth DVD box. All I can tell you is it’s awesome. If you enjoy being ice-level with Sidney Crosby, imagine being on an ice floe with a polar bear. And if you think Lebron can soar, wait until you ‘witness’ a chameleon’s tongue shoot out of its mouth at 15 metres a second.
