"Know what I did last night? I saw some Swedish twins in action."

What is "Clip Reel?"

Point of fact: we need to spend more time discussing hockey. For example, the Vancouver Canucks are hot fire right now and could be a sleeper in the West. We've always loved the Canucks, mostly because of Pavel Bure (and the fact that DJ Tanner is his sister-in-law). This new crop of kids is impressive. Time to take a look.
