Bob Hunter is on vacation so we're running one of his better columns from 2007.
Hunter will return in September.

Hockey Porn

I was walking by my 12 year old son's room last night and heard some moaning and groaning. "Damn, he's hacked into my favorites list," I thought to myself as I burst in through the door. But instead of naked Russian skanks on the screen, he was looking at something called "HFBOARDS.COM". 

Apparently you can talk online about Columbus Blue Jacket hockey even after the players have given up and gone golfing (which is usually every December).

Hunter:  "What are you looking at there, BobbyJ?" 

Bobby Jr:  "The CBJ fan forum on HFboards, dad."

Hunter: "OMG, I was worried you might be surfing pornhub.com or sexyteens.com or literotica.com or babeswithbigasses.com." 

Bobby Jr:  "No dad, that's gross. Me and the other 12 year old kids are voting in the coaches poll, you know, who they should hire."

Hunter: "Oh. ...and who are you voting for? "

Bobby Jr:  "Ken Hitchcock".

Hunter: "Good choice son. You know, he won a Stanley Cup in Dallas."

Bobby Jr: "Cool."

Hunter: "He's just what the team needs. He'll bring a rich and weighty approach to the game."

Bobby Jr: "So maybe we'll start going to the games?"

Hunter: "You bet, now get to bed BobbyJ, before your mom thinks we're both looking at porn."

The next morning at the office I bypassed the Dispatch internet filter, checked my page at Farmersonly.com, then pulled up HFboards, registered under the psuedonymn of "Samkow", and voted in the Coaching Poll myself. Glad to see everyone agrees with me.

The Cup is as good as won.

This is Bob Hunter.
