This is “Fear the Five,” a recurring series where we present a lighthearted list of five things somehow related to hockey. The lists aren’t presented in any particular order.
23-time Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps did not race a great white shark to kick off the Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” on Sunday, but instead raced and lost to a computer simulation of a shark. Because, you know, it would be entirely unfeasible for him to race a predatory fish in open water.
Racing a human, hockey-playing Shark, however, is much more probable!
