The best part is when Patrick Kaleta punches himself in the face (happens at about 25 seconds into the video)

Family: Experimental stem-cell treatment does wonders for Gordie Howe
ll it a Christmas miracle. That's pretty much the way Gordie Howe's family is describing his extraordinary recovery -- thanks to an experimental stem-cell treatment -- from a series of strokes that appeared to threaten the 86-year-old hockey legend's life only a few weeks ago.
"This is truly a Christmas miracle," said Dr. Murray Howe, a Toledo physician and one of Gordie's four children. "I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. "
Howe, gravely ill at the time, underwent the treatment on Dec. 8 in San Diego.
"As a family, we are thrilled that Dad's quality of life has greatly improved, and his progress has exceeded our greatest expectations," the Howe family said Friday in a news release in which it thanked a legion of fans praying for its father's recovery. "Once again, we cannot emphasize how much you have fueled Mr. Hockey's recovery, and we thank everyone for their continued prayers and support."
The neural stem cells were injected into the spinal canal on Day 1 and mesenchymal stem cells by intravenous infusion on Day 2, according to the release.
"His response was truly miraculous," the family said. "At the end of Day 1, he was walking with minimal effort for the first time since his stroke. By Day 2, he was conversing comfortably with family and staff at the clinic. On the third day, he walked to his seat on the plane under his own power."
Just five days later, Howe was walking unaided and even taking part in daily household chores, according to the release.
When tested, his ability to name items has gone from less than 25 percent before the procedure to 85 percent today, the release said.

Interesting story here (on new medical treatments) whether you are a hockey fan or not.

If I ever hear porn noises (like the Predators' broadcast) on a CBJ broadcast, then I know it must be a FOX Sports thing.

I've debated whether I'd rather hear porn noises or Jeff Rimer on a broadcast off-and-on the past couple days.

Patrick Kane out for 12 weeks with a fractured left clavicle. Devastating for Chicago. On the bright side, Toronto is still a train wreck & San Jose are terrible this year!
In shocking news, Winnipeg, yes effing Winnipeg is currently 5th in the West. Calgary is 9th in the West, which is also surprising. Colorado has completely shit the bed thus far after a fine display last season.
The biggest news has to be Nashville being tops in the league & deservedly so, they've been great. Laviolette must be laughing at Philly.

Looks like nobody is sleeping on Ottawa anymore. Seven straight wins, 15 out of their last 17 & they've moved into the final Wild Card spot ahead of Boston. Uh oh, B's.

Babcock to the Leafs. Eight years, $50 Million. Front-loaded to $8 Million the first three years, which would make him the highest paid coach in North America.

At least he was smart enough not to take the GM position too. It was clearly time for a change for both sides and the 2nd half of this past season illustrates it. Now maybe the Wings will get a coach who will actually play to the rosters skill set instead of fitting triangular pegs into rectangular holes...
