Baroque—who contributes her entertaining genius frequently to the comments of this website, as well as her own posts at HockeyTownTodd—made a comment on this post yesterday that stuck in my head. She said, “It’s funny how people fall for hockey that you wouldn’t expect to.”

Earlier today I was sorting through the piles of junk on my hard drive and I came across this article I’d kept handy from the LA Daily News. Written by Tom Hoffarth, it was originally published in January of this year.

I think it’s a great story and it relates to Baroque’s remark rather well so I thought I’d point to it now. Enjoy.
