Hockey quote for the year.

All non-hockey fans skip to the last paragraph:

In 1996, Colorado defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh tripped Jeremy Roenick from behind on an overtime breakaway in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals in Chicago. The Blackhawks led the series 2-1. If referee Andy van Hellemond had called either a penalty, or for a penalty shot (which by all rights he should have done), history could have changed. Instead, he swallowed the whistle, Colorado won the game, the series and went on to win the Stanley Cup. After the game, Roy said he would have stopped Roenick on the penalty shot, anyway. Roenick said he found that funny, because he had scored on a breakaway in Game 3 – when, he claimed, Roy's jock had ended up in the rafters. Roy responded by saying he couldn't hear Roenick because his two Stanley Cup rings were plugging his ears.

Okay, I wish I had both the room and the money for this thing. Oh my god, 299.00 and 3104 pieces of lego goodness. It took these guys 10 hours to put it together, all caught on a web cam and compressed into several minutes of nutty assembly action. Check it out.
