This is why you should read every comment on PPP just in case. From new contributor SkinnyFish:

Go David Backes

He’ll fight for freedom where ever there’s trouble.
David Backes is there.

It’s David Backes against Canada and Crosby
Fighting to save the day.
He never gives up.

He’s always there,
Fighting for freedom over ice and air

David Backes – A real American hero
David Backes is there

David Backes is the codename for American’s daring,
highly trained special mission forward.
His purpose, to defend human freedom against Canada-
a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the Olympics.

He never gives up.
He’ll stay til the gold’s won.
David Backes will dare.

David Backes – A real American hero
David Backessssss

Okay, anyone else think we’ll need a separate first period thread? Invasion of the Canadians, ruuuuuun!

…actually, don’t run. John Carlson has EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.

But new thread? Yes? No?

I vote yes. I got lost catching up on the Clips thread and this one went from 6 comments to 250 by the time I finished.

YES, just make it clear everyone needs to head over there. These Canadians can be a bit slow.
