I had a different comic to post today, but since the as of yet unnamed BLH Line performed so admirably on Sunday I put this one up early.

Quick note: the bully in the third panel was originally going to be Lil Sean Avery from strip #4, and had the blue shirt/red pants combination or the Rangers. But I decided that he's more a pest than a bully and wouldn't be pushing Hartnel and Leino around, so I picked the bullyest of bullys, Derek Boogaard and changed his hair and the colors to reflect the Minnesota Wild uniform. Then I remembered that Boog plays for Rangers now and was going to recolor again but I liked the way it looked in maroon and green. Well, technically "Iron Range Red" and green.

I spent hours coming up with these stupid names, none of which would be good names for any self respecting hockey line.  Rejected line names: "The Puckstreet Boys", "Three Sticks Mafia", "Lavy's Or-Angels", "Danny and the Samesies", "The Shoot Loops"
