The weekly GIF

Sports fans love GIFs.  So do I.  That's why I have decided to add another segment to DownGoesAvery.com: DGA's weekly GIF, or as Steve Palumbo says, "The GIF that keeps on giving."  So check this page each week for a weekly hockey-related GIF.  If you have one that I should consider using, tweet it to me, Facebook it to me, e-mail it to me...pretty much anything but snail mail it to me.

(*depending on which browser you're using, you may need to click on the image to see the GIF properly.)
