And while we're on the topic...

This is one of my favorite sports sequences of all time. It's the NHL Finals... captain vs. captain, lightning (Paul Kariya) vs. thunder (Scott Stevens). The dramatics of sports takes over. Kariya comes back after taking what was probably the best (clean) hit of all time, only to score a game winner on a smoking howitzer (see definition below).


Howitzer

A very fast slap shot.
