A New Take Coming To Light On The Mike Milbury Situation
A conflicting tale of Mike Milbury alleged assault on a 12-year boy is coming to light. There seems to be a wide disparity between witnesses’ observations on the post-peewee game antics that has landed the off-air NBC analyst in hot water, crimes and misdemeanors.

And The Award Goes To …
A few days ago I received an invitation from a friend to come to an Oscar viewing party Sunday night. The sad thing is, I have been so off the grid when it comes to pop culture of late, I didn’t even realize that the Oscars were this Sunday. Hell, I had no idea who [...]
MAINSTREAM MEDIA FAIL: Our Satire Picked Up As A News Item By MSNBC
http://bit.ly/aoAacX (can be seen via Google Cache) Al Rankin writes under the name Duncan_Disorderly. He’s been our main satire guy for the season. He’s hit with some great ones like Brian Burke’s Time Travel piece, the infamous Bryan McCabe on the Phaneauf trade, and so many more. But it is this last one that will now [...]
If the Leafs wanted an overpaid slapshot with questionable defensive skills so badly why’d they trade me?
Young offensive defenseman with big shot averages around 50 points a season before his contract expires, gets rewarded with a multi-year extension averaging $6 million per. He initially plays well but soon production fades which draws attention to his lack of defensive skill. Fans revolt and demand a trade. Sound familiar?
SIBLING RIVALRY PRESENTS: NHL Goes Hollywood Images & Contest!
To we Gallof boys, most situations hearken to a movie. Whether it be large or small, parody or tragedy, good news or bad, we tend to come up with some sort of twisted bent with images and other silliness to describe it. So, in honor of this appreciation of movies, and with a huge hat [...]
Indeed, what a terrible accident has befallen the referee of last night’s game.
I’d hate for that sort of thing to start happening on a regular basis. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

After intense lobbying by the very influential Lemieux Group LP, owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins, all metropolitan Pittsburgh public school students will now learn geography with a 49-state map that excludes the [...]
Saturday night in Toronto = bliss (if you’re not a Leafs fan)
What could be more Canadian than watching hockey on a rainy, chilly, almost winter-like night in Toronto? Nothing. Last Saturday evening, I watched the Maple Leafs – Canucks game in the apartment of a former college residence housemate. Two womenfolk were also present, also former dwellers of said residence house. Don’t be fooled. One half [...]
Wednesday satire – Juggernaut Penguins disbanded, Crosby achieves world peace
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and twenty-nine disgruntled team governors convened an emergency meeting in New York Monday evening and voted 29-0 in favour of disbanding the Pittsburgh Penguins, the defending Stanley Cup champions and after eight games, the best team so far this season. “Enough is enough. Eight is enough,” cried Boston owner Jeremy Jacobs, chanelling Dick [...]
Sunday satire, part 1 – Pathetic Red Wings crash Penguins’ opener
The usual sold-out crowd of 17,132 cheered enthusiastically as Penguins players, coaches and executives filed onto the ice and red carpet prior to Friday night’s opening game at Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh. The Stanley Cup, gleaming and sparkling under the bright white klieg lights of the arena roof, sat proudly on a table at centre [...]
