Watch this Caterpillar D11T annihilate an old pickup truck because of hockey
Gotta love Canada. As you’ll see in their half-hearted play before the good stuff actually begins, this particular group of Canucks was heartbroken that the start of hockey season had been delayed.

The Coldest Place on Earth and an Antarctic Condition 1 Storm
