Patrick Thoresen of the Philadelphia Flyers made the ultimate playoff sacrifice. As a result of blocking a shot, it looks like the young guy is going to lose a testicle. Dear Jesus.

I am bias, I admit, but to me the Montreal Canadiens have easily the best atmosphere and crowd of any pro sports team in North America. The way the city gathers around the team, reacts to everything and is just so loud is intense. I think it beats even the big football stadiums.
A video after […]

Sports Illustrated does one of their fancy photo galleries, this time since no one likes hockey, they compare NHL stars to real life stars in side-by-side shots. I’ve seen many of these over the years and they’re usually, “mm, I can kinda see that,” quality, but not this time. Some of these are downright creepy.

So, you know, DMan made his high falutin playoff predictions today, and thus I have to get off my lazy ass and do the same thing. So how does one top someone who uses math, logic and common sense? Tits and beer.
You’ll have to trust me on the beer part, but as the name implies, […]

It’s time to beat the MSM’s expert predictions. For every round I am going to make predictions on who wins and in how many games. To do this I will be comparing the Goals For and Goals Against for each of the playoff teams and picking the team who has the better goal differential (Very […]

For twenty-six long weeks, DrunkenMoose reigned supreme a the top of our fantasy hockey league. None could stand against him. His winning percentage was a downright gaudy .730 and his opponents fell like grain before the reaper. He clenched long before any of the rest of us and, micro-managing to perfection, he seemed dead-set to […]

From NHL.com comes this tidbit:
NEW YORK – A season of suspenseful races and outstanding performances on the ice was accompanied by historic levels of attendance at National Hockey League arenas in 2007-08. Total attendance of 21,236,255 and the per-game average of 17,265 set records in each category and marked the third consecutive season of growth.

So you may remember just under a month ago, I started some NHL playoff prognostications. The question is, how right was I going into the last 2 games of the season. Of course, it’s a bit early, so I also get to make some revised predictions. The key to predicting the future, is to keep […]

A recent incident in the QMJHL (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League) has prompted the age old debate over the place of fighting in hockey (see the video). It’s the only sport that tolerates fighting as part of the game. Fighting happens in baseball, basketball and football, but its a noteworthy incident that always results in […]
In our office hockey pool, we are down to the final week of head to head match-ups. No surprise, but J-Bla has long since been eliminated and the final two of this epic trek are DoctorD vs. DrunkenMoose. This is a head to head pool with 10 categories. The winner in each category gets a […]
