First of all, kudos to Ryan Cormier, arts and entertainment reporter extraordinaire from the News Journal for helping me get some welcome exposure to my recently launched blog...
I may never be as great as his blog Pulp Culture, but I'll die trying...thanks Ryan...
Hey Ya...well "Operation Slap Shot" has finally been released...it's about time they came out with a decent sequel to the 1977 Paul Newman hockey fighting classic...
I was hoping Newman and the Hansons could come out of retirement to beat the crap out of Stephen Baldwin for making "Slap Shot 2" so memorable...
No, no if we were only so lucky...actually this operation was done by the NJ state police in order to show that not just two of my boyhood hockey idols, being Rick Tocchet and Wayne Gretzky, are in some pretty deep s****, but that also Mrs. Gretzky is involved. Yes, Janet Jones, star of such 80's classics as "The Beastmaster", "American Anthem" & "Police Academy 5" (why would she do Playboy, her career seemed to be fine)...could've been involved in placing bets on behalf of her husband, the Great One...
Ok the thing that really is quite amusing about all this is that the state police released this diagram linking all the involved parties together, or as some would call the "Operation Slap Shot Axis of Evil"... 
Now is it just me, or do you think that the illustrators were trying to achieve a certain effect with purple and turquoise uniforms on the players? Maybe trying to make Delaware olympic figure skating hopeful Johnny Weir a tad jealous? Hmm...or is it the other way around? You be the judge...
