Jordin Tootoo and Kevin Bieksa re-create an iconic scene from Dirty Dancing, or at least, that’s what they’re doing according to the mad mind of Mooney. (Pass it to Bulis)

Over at the Legion, The Stanchion takes a short break from telling long-winded stories about his time in the army and looks at several NHL versions of Blue Steel. My favorite is the Willie Mitchell face, partly because he looks crazy, and partly because having watched him play for years, I know he’s not an ambi-turner.
