To cleanse our palette of that unsightly incident with a certain Italian-Canadian, I recently discovered that the current New Yorker has three witty, short pieces on hockey in its Talk of the Town section:
- Does America really want a president that doesn’t back-check? I think not.
- Hockey dials the number of a girl it used to know and gets her machine. “Candace, if you’re there, pick up.†Candace waits for Hockey to finish, then erases the message.
- The Professor, Igor Larionov, watches that lousy American hockey movie. “They should have showed a little bit of what happened inside the Soviet camp. But I know American movies are always like that.”
All well-written pieces. Who knew that Senator Kerry was a hockey man?
