True to this form is this week&#8217;s submission, What The Puck.<\/p>\n<p>After ten years and who(<a href=\"http:\/\/traineaux.com\/hockey\/btshstats.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bob W<\/a>)-knows-how-many goals, WTP has stuck to what has been working for them: orange t-shirt, team name, and maybe a symbol. This year, they&#8217;ve opted for a simple Roman numeral <em>X<\/em> to represent their tenure in the league. I am not moved to nostalgia when I see this shirt, though. No, when I see WTP&#8217;s 2010 jersey, I recall the second best Indiana Jones movie, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0097576\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Last Crusade<\/em><\/a>, in which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/xmarksthespot.png\" target=\"_blank\"><em>X<\/em> actually does mark the spot<\/a>.
