Hockey Moms Against Palin

Love that sweater.

All hail the hockey mom

That forest of “Hockey Moms 4 McCain” signs at the Republican National Convention last eve was a surreal and impressive sight. And I have to admit to reflexively wondering whether this was some sort of breakthrough for the game in the United States. Can the GOP do what Gary Bettman couldn’t? Will Sarah Palin and her sisterhood of puckheads usher in a new generation of Levi Johnstons—brushheaded right-wingers who set aside their ball gloves to crash, bang and give 110 per cent?
