As an ex-goaltender this is painful to watch. In Toskala’s defence these are very tough shots to stop, but I gotta say, he should have got in front of it and not tried to catch. Doctrine says, take it in the chest and then sweep it off to your D with the stick.

Oh well. I bet he never makes this mistake again!

Guessing the car is pretty easy (but go ahead if you like!) so I think this particular image calls for a few good captions. Have at it in the comments!

More photos of that gorgeous little OSCA 1600.

I wonder if any of our non-US readers will recognize the bad headline joke there?

Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel was born today, March 18th 1858, so we celebrate his sesquicentennial!

He published “Theorie und Construktion eines rationellen Wärmemotors zum Ersatz der Dampfmaschine und der heute bekannten Verbrennungsmotoren” in 1887.

Thank you Herr Diesel, for all of your work. Because of you, I (and many others) have the option of transportation without strict dependance on petroleum as our only source of fuel.

While we’re on the subject of Diesel, have a read through this… it appears that some folks are beginning to question why we can’t buy them here in the USA.
