What is "Clip Reel?"

We love our readers, but we get a lot of irrational e-mails telling us what our biases are: "You guys hate the Steelers and love the Patriots!" (Uh, the Steelers were on our cover within the last few issues.) Another one we always get is: "You hate hockey!" In the last seven or so issues, we've had two hockey covers, including Alexander Ovechkin (here's the feature), who last night scored another absolutely ridiculous goal. Time to celebrate him!

Nice, a highlight mix set to Fort Minor. Fun!
Junior hockey and NHL Draft footage, eh?
