Biophilus

• Oct. 17, 2008 - Where'd my number go?

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writer Dejan Kovacevic (who was covering the Penguins at the time) once referred to a certain Pens player as "the incredibly useless Matt Bradley". Well, His Royal Uselessness is now with the Capitals, and he got the living crap beat out of him by Paul Bissonette last night:

(Isn't YouTube amazing?)

So Bissonette is officially a beast (or maybe Bradley just isn't), but the thing that crushed me about the whole thing is that Bissonette changed his number! He's not 67 anymore! See, back in the day, when Mario Lemieux (who wore #66) and Jaromir Jagr (who wore #68) were my favorite players, I decided that 67 was my number because it was right in the middle.

Bissonette wore #67 at the beginning of the season, but now he's gone to 16. How utterly boring and unspecial. I know role players aren't supposed to wear high numbers, but, as sole owner and rights-holder of the number 67, I declare Paul Bissonette worthy of wearing it after the aforementioned beatdown of Matt Bradley.

Oh well.

While we're on the topic of 67, Benoit Pouliot of the Minnesota Wild scored a fantastic goal last night. I'm trying to find a video clip of it, but, alas, it appears that it isn't on YouTube yet.

About Me

"Biophilus" is roughly Greek for "loving life", an attitude that I try to keep with me at all times. I am a masters student at Middle Tennessee State University and was homeschooled for 12 years. Homeschooling is a passion of mine, but this blog features all sorts of random things that catch my attention. I have a lot of interests, and there's really no telling what you might find here.
