Razor’s Dream of A Frozen Mason Dixon (Blue) Line
I have a dream. I dream of a day when big-time Division I college hockey is played in the south. To this you say, “Razor, please.” To that I retort, “Child, listen.” To that you snipe, “Uh, water doesn’t freeze much round these parts.” At which time I respond with….”Right, I agree.” enough.

And The Award Goes To…
In late June the NHL did something they should seriously rethink; they held their annual awards show in Vegas.
