Hockey for the Ladies

REASON #82

Because ...

"He is a shining beacon of light and a true hero to anyone who has ever loved the sport of hockey."  

AND

"If we had more of you in this world, we'd all be better off."

I've had my inbox bombarded with this story (and links to it) today and I'm sure you may already have heard about or will hear about it sometime today.  So WHAT BETTER REASON for (and what better way than with the words of Kyle Smith's sister to convey it in) today's post?!!!

If you are not touched and inspired by this story after reading it then you do not have a heart!!  WE ARE TRULY LUCKY TO HAVE SID PLAY FOR (AND AS THE FACE OF) OUR BELOVED PITTSBURGH PENGUINS!!!

Where have all good men gone

And where are all the gods?

Where’s the street-wise Hercules

To fight the rising odds?

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?

Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night

He’s gotta be strong

And he’s gotta be fast

And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light

He’s gotta be sure

And it’s gotta be soonAnd he’s gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasy

Somewhere just beyond my reach

There’s someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night

He’s gotta be strong

And he’s gotta be fast

And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light

He’s gotta be sure

And it’s gotta be soon

And he’s gotta be larger than life

Up Where the mountains meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I would swear that there’s someone somewhere

Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

And the storm and the flood

I can feel his approach

Like a fire in my blood

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night

He’s gotta be strong

And he’s gotta be fast

And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light

He’s gotta be sure

And it’s gotta be soon

And he’s gotta be larger than life
