Silver Spring Video
This is Seb's and my video about what it is like to live in Silver Spring. It was edited on Wevideo, which is why some of the audio levels/transitions are akward and un-even. Welcome British kids!

The NHL is Back
Today the NHL announced that play will resume on January 18th.
It's good that the NHL didn't lock out the whole season because then they would be the only professional sport to have ever locked out an entire season, and they would've done it 3 times. That's a hat trick's worth, the hockey player's SI unit for amount of things.
However, the NHL didn't really dodge a bullet on this one because they still locked out half the season, and they still have some serious issues to deal with in the actual league. They need to figure out how to control the violent adn dangerous hits that are endagering the league's stars. In the last lockout they opened up the game and allowed skilled players to showcase their talents better, but I'm pretty sure no rule changes were made this year.
If the NHL is going to keep the interest of the nation that is has had for the last couple years, it needs to better protect it's stars. Whatever way they choose to do it, the dangerous hits have to go. But let's leave this issue for another time and for now just be happy. After all, the NHL is back.
