    Teach me to mention hockey!

    Good lord, if the world ever needed any proof that hockey is not the sport I follow most closely, this litany of errors provides it. I stand by my position that "it is what it is" is usually used in a negative sense, but I regret the use of the phrase "scene of the crime." And I will demur from commenting about whether Bertuzzi's punch was actually justified retaliation.

    Thanks for the sharp reading. And from now on, I will only use NBA metaphors.
