Hockey moment...

[lithera]

So, like four of you on my friend's list pay attention to hockey but there is something really neat happening with the All-Star game. There is a campaign to get Rory Fiztpatrick to the All-Star game. Now, I hear you out there. "Who the hell is Rory Fitzpatrick?" See, that's the thing. He's one of those guys, one of the grinders who doesn't get the limelight but he's out there all the time, doing the things that make the plays work.

There is a website. So far they have almost half a million votes, about 20,000 behind Scott Niedermayer. (I know, I know, most of you are again saying, "Who the hell is Scott Niedermayer?") This is a fantastic thing, I think. And I think, if you care at all, this guy should be in the All-Star game.

There are even You Tube ads.

Some funny little campaign parody ads.

Anyway, this amuses me and I thought I would share.

It's crazy, this Rory Fitzpatrick thing.

What does Rory think of it, I wonder?

There is a link to an interview on the website up there but I haven't clicked it yet.

He knows nothing about it!
