What the heck was Queen Elizabeth thinking when she dropped the puck at an NHL preseason game between the Sharks and Canucks, attending her first hockey game since 1951?A. "Let me get this straight. He scored three goals so now I have to throw my crown on the ice?"
B. "I can't believe my agent couldn't book me for a regular-season game."
C. "If poor dental hygiene is rampant among hockey players, why isn't England the preeminent hockey country in the world?"
D. "I just giggle like a schoolgirl whenever I hear the phrase, 'put the biscuit in the basket.' "
E. "It's not as cool as getting to drive a Zamboni, but just act excited."
F. "It's a shame Mark Messier isn't on one of these teams. He was quite impressive back in '51."
