It's hockey time--drop the pucks!

But not in Atlanta. They've dropped not one but two NHL teams. In the 1980's the Atlanta Flames became the Calgary Flames, who in short order won the Stanley Cup. After a hiatus, the oddly-named Atlanta Thrashers came into the league. They thrashed around for a few years and headed north to become the Winnipeg Jets, and there are no Stanley Cups in sight. Winnipeg is sort of a Canadian joke, to wit: 1st guy: Nobody comes from Winnipeg but hookers and hockey players; 2nd guy: My wife comes from Winnipeg!; 1st guy: What position does she play? OK let's give the city a break like Snoopy, the world famous hockey player who salutes a Hall of Famer from Winnipeg and one of the original Jets in the defunct World Hockey Assn. Here's Snoopy circling with the puck behind his own net...he crosses the blue line, skates flashing, stick handling beautifully...the crowd is on its feet, he shoots...he SCORES! In the final panel he gives us his beguiling smile and says, "Bobby Hull envies my slap shot". As for Atlanta, frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!
