SHARKS PRESEASON ROYAL BLESSING UPDATE

As the espn.com headline put it, "Even Queen Elizabeth II Likes Hockey". Hmm, a good sign for the sport of missing teeth and long hair and Kournikova ex's, wouldn't you say?

The deal is, she dropped a ceremonial face-off in Vancouver, for an exhibition game between the Canucks and our local heroes the San Jose Sharks. Her Majesty dropped a puck within one foot of Mike "pretty boy" Ricci. I wish I had a picture of that.

But is this truly a good omen for hockey's future? Consider this: The Queen of England isn't elected, she's a product of bloodlines and not the will of the popular majority. Baseball, on the other hand, is the choice sport of President George W Bush, and unlike the unelected Elizabeth, George was . . . oops, bad example!
