On a night less than 48 hours in advance of a highly anticipated Stanley Cup Finals rematch with the Vancouver Canucks, it would have been easy to expect a “let-down” of sorts in Boston on Thursday evening when the Bruins played host to the Calgary Flames. Also, in a game that the B’s would be [...]

Blues vs. Flames Gameday | Tarasenko Injured
Quick Blues @ Avs Thoughts There is little that can be said regarding the St. Louis Blues 4-3 loss to Colorado on Monday. Not because it was a boring game or anything of the sort. Just that the play of the Blues was standard issue for the month of January. If I’ve put it in [...]
Friday Face-Offs, 1/21/2011
Today starts a new, regular column from me called Friday Face-Offs.

Besides, it’s much more fun to open myself up for all sorts of ridicule from my [...]

One might be Zach Parise in New Jersey, however I don’t believe that truly exists. I really don’t see a scenario where a player of Parise’s age, ability, [...]

Qualifications in the Books; Great Day of Quarter-Finals Ahead
Going into yesterday’s set of games in Vancouver, not many people expected Norway, Belarus, Germany or Latvia to beat their opponents and advance to the quarterfinal round of the tournament.

Each is comprised of 13 forwards, seven defensemen and three goalies. Every NHL team has at least one representative at the game; therefore some players had to be left out of the [...]
Captain Niedermayer: forever the bored 17-year old autograph signer to me
An unscientific perusal of blogs over the past few days showed no evidence that any Penguins’ fans were disappointed that team captain Sidney Crosby was not appointed as “C” of the 2010 Canadian Winter Olympic team. Crosby, Calgary captain Jarome Iginla and Philadelphia defenceman Chris Pronger were named alternates to Anaheim captain Scott Niedermayer during [...]
