Team USA Hockey Dominates a Bunch of Hoseheads

The NHL season is on hiatus to allow for the 4 Nations Face-Off -- an international best-on-best tournament featuring NHL players from the U.S., Canada, Finland, and Sweden.

Last night, team USA took on team Canada. Seems as though some political tensions between the 2 neighboring countries may have spilled over into the game. The first 9 seconds of game time saw multiple fights.

Last night Team Canada learned FAFO:

1–They booed our anthem
2–So we get into 3 fights in the first 9sec
3–We then net 3 unanswered goals
4–We blast Free Bird after each goal
5–And we blow them out in their OWN STADIUM
6–AMERICA IS BACK

Congratulations @usahockey on a huge win! pic.twitter.com/75qmJeE5WU

Here is an extended look (4 mins) at the 3 fights.

Another short video recap. "The red, white, and blue went north of the border and bullied Canada."

Eco-Wacky or Cool Idea?

As long as it's never a forced practice, this actually isn't a stupid idea.

Eco-Funerals Now Feature World’s First ‘Living Coffin’ Made Out of Mushrooms

In the UK, a funeral company says they can now bury you in the ‘world’s first living coffin’, which is made out of mushrooms.

Containing no wood, the coffins are formed out of a mat of fibers including pliable mycelium—the root structure of mushrooms—and up-cycled hemp plants.

The thread-like mycelium, aids decomposition by breaking down biological matter—and it biodegrades within 45 days.

Made by Dutch company Loop Biotech, the coffins can be grown in just a week and the eco-friendly burials “feed the earth” as they mix with nutrients from the human decomposition.
