slow up

[Victor Steinbok]

I am not ranting against "slow up", but here's a comment (by Brendan
Shanahan) that includes both "slow up" and "slow down". I am not
entirely sure if there is supposed to be a contrast between the two. So
it's mostly for the files.

[Shanahan is a retired hockey player who is now the NHL disciplinary
policy enforcer.]
