Whenever I hear someone mention the Armed Forces Bowl, I instinctively think of this (which you have to admit would make for a very cool helmet motif).

Good Thing There Are No North Koreans in the NHL

. Interesting move in last night’s Rangers/Flyers game, as Jaromir Jagr and Jakub Voracek — both native Czechs — paid tribute to the recently deceased Václav Havel by wearing his initials on their helmets. The solemnity of that occasion was somewhat undercut during pregame warm-ups, when both teams promoted the Winter Classic helped . . . → Read More: Good Thing There Are No North Koreans in the NHL
