A rough weekend for us Austin Stars fans. Despite keeping our Cap’n Brad Lukowich with a chance for him to get a roster spot in Dallas, we’ve lost two pieces of our offensive punch. Last season’s leading scorer Greg Rallo … Continue reading →

As soon as the Bruins knocked the Flyers out in Game Four of the semi-finals this Spring, Flyers’ management fired the blamethrower at the team’s three goalies. Never mind the piss-poor efforts with the forwards. Never mind Chris Pronger being … Continue reading →

Boston has now won the World Series, Superbowl and NBA Championships in addition to the Stanley Cup in the last last 10 years. However, I figure the residents will find something else to bitch about like Chicagoans, New Yorkers and … Continue reading →

I finally found an Orleans employee who knew about the team’s existence and exactly where they play in the casino. No luck on finding any merchandise but there were T-shirts at a sports joint in Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile. Before … Continue reading →

While I was leaving Luxor, I checked to see how the Calder Cup was going on my iPhone. Sadly, the Houston Aeros lost to the Bing’ton Senators and the Cup will remain in the East for yet another year. Quite … Continue reading →

We leave for Vegas in a matter of hours and one thing I stumbled upon while packing was the odds for the Stanley Cup winners, based upon last Summer’s forecasts. Seems that Vancouver and Boston weren’t too much of a … Continue reading →

Our seats are behind the penalty box at the Toyota Center, I’ve got a good shot since I doubt the game will be carried on the Fox Sports Net. I had this idea originally when the Stars had their miraculous … Continue reading →

This Saturday, I will be hauling ass to Houston with Jeremy to catch game number two of the Calder Cup between our rival, the Aeros (proxy for the Minnesota Wild) try to bring the prize home against the Bimington Senators … Continue reading →

I’ve always wondered why Atlanta was given another NHL team after the city let its last one move to Calgary 20 years earlier. Minneapolis-St. Paul I can see, they didn’t give into the Northstars’ blackmail but capitulated as so many … Continue reading →

Throughout round two of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the “7:30 PM Flyers” showed up at all four games; it’s a term I picked up from Flyers’ correspondent Tim Panaccio. Face-off is at 7 PM but the Flyers don’t really … Continue reading →

We managed to pick up the Milwaukee feed through Somara’s iPhone, she has some app that taps into the radio stations off of the AHL’s site or something. Unless last year, I wasn’t very optimistic on their chances because the … Continue reading →

Most Thursday nights Jeremy and I go skating at Northcross Mall. Hard to believe that it’s quite a workout going around in circles…well, more like ovals. Then afterwards, we usually hit the nearby  Starbucks for coffee to warm up. Earlier … Continue reading →

The Board of Governors voting to shorten the season from 80 to 76 games was a surprise to me. As the league finally reached 30 teams I figured they wanted the AHL to be close to parity with its NHL … Continue reading →

Both of my teams practically petered out over the big finale weekend, namely the (Austin) Stars who couldn’t seal the deal by losing their last two games. What a bummer to get smoked 2-0 in the final home appearance before … Continue reading →

Last week a really nice co-worker gave me this as a thank-you gift for something I did. I just about cried when he explained to me what it was and I didn’t want him to part with it. However, he … Continue reading →
