I got home in time to catch the third period of the Boston-Buffalo game, and the Boston goalie's name is...
Tuukka Rask. Another guy with two "u's" and not two, but THREE "k's" in his name.
Those nutty Finns.
Hockey trivia to make you sound smart: Zdeno Chara's slapshot is reputed to reach speeds of up to 104 mph. If I had a 6'9" guy on skates bearing down on me, I would immediately turtle and start screaming like a little girl.
And former Penguin Miroslav Satan's name is pronounced "Sha-tahn" but it still must be really cool to be able to skate around with "SATAN" emblazoned across your back.

There's a scene in Bonfire of the Vanities with a criminal named Krynkka or something, and the judge says, "Sounds like someone got his fingers caught in a fucking typewriter."
(head on desk giggling) LOVE that book. I've read my copy to pieces, literally. For some reason, when I picture Maria Ruskin, I see Delta Burke, in the pre-chubby years.
Oh, and for the record, Jane is tickled that the high-minded Archer commented on one of her hockey posts.
