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.
