What a pleasant surprise to see from one of the neighbors’ houses.

In addition to the whipping my Stars gave the Griffins (or as I jokingly call them, Griffindor because they have this dorky Harry Potter-like emblem on their shoulders), I got to be a passenger on the rink’s Zamboni® during the first … Continue reading →

The USA’s upset victory over the USSR in hockey was 31 years ago today. This cool event just has me jonsin’ for live games as my (AHL) Stars remain on the road until Sunday. Currently their 3-2-0-0 streak is decent. … Continue reading →

…and not in the face as I’ve seen over the years! This evening’s 5-4 SO loss to the Abbotsford Heat (near Vancouver and they’re the affiliate for the Calgary Flames) was tense, especially with my Stars overcoming a two-goal deficit … Continue reading →

He is truly the Great One for more than just hockey. About all I can say and it’s not hyperbole since it’s a rare subject hockey fans can agree about.
