During the first round of this Summer’s draft, 11 Yankees (or American-trained players) were in the top 30. One went to Dallas which will be going through a major overhaul after being terrible again. It also means, the younger playmakers … Continue reading →

I know I blathered earlier about the season being officially over for me but there was one last game they had to play. I am so glad I didn’t bother to watch. The Hershey Bears cremated my Stars 4-0. Jeremy … Continue reading →

Last night was the last game for our inaugural season at the CPC (Cedar Park Center). Tomorrow the Calder Cup Championship will conclude in Hershey, PA and judging from how well the Bears kicked my Stars’ asses, they will sew … Continue reading →

I took a couple days off to recuperate from all the hockey excitement on Monday evening. While we were watching the Stars take it to the Bulldogs at the CPC (Cedar Park Center) via ahl.com streaming on all the HD … Continue reading →

I immediately admit to my doubts over Philly overcoming a 3-0 deficit against Boston. I had watched them play off and on all season. This new(er) lineup with Pronger, brought in to fix a blueline that hasn’t been the same … Continue reading →

It was a nail-biter every step of the way and I managed to catch it via Internet streaming from the Chicago station that covers the Wolves. Honestly, I figured my Stars were going to lose it because they never could … Continue reading →

The Phoenix Coyotes may have had their best season ever but the NHL isn’t holding its collective breath on Glendale (the ‘burb where they play) or a wealthy prince charming to keep the franchise in the desert. The Toronto Star … Continue reading →

After Tuesday’s horrible loss to the Wolves, a big part of it caused by horrible officiating (seriously, Chris Chelios was the assistant ref on two calls); the Stars had to knuckle down and play smarter. Wednesday they pulled it off … Continue reading →

The AHL Board of Governors voted and the Hicks family will be buying the Chops (formerly the Stars before the split) to move our team from probationary to official. Like there was any doubt. OK, some. I think the attendance … Continue reading →

My predictive ability for the AHL is certainly better than the NHL because I got the NHL Eastern Conference totally wrong. It doesn’t help that the AHL rushed the Atlantic Division games through this week; Hershey (the team to beat … Continue reading →

I said it before, I’ll say it again. I knew the Icehogs would lose because they have Chicago’s innate ability to choke in their DNA. How else could they be the Blackhawks’ farm team? The parent isn’t looking much better … Continue reading →

Brian Boucher is somewhat vindicated. Not only did he ratchet-up his game to prove that Ray Emery was a waste of money, he got his revenge on the Devils. Revenge? Ten years ago, Boucher was Philly’s current number one (in … Continue reading →

Tonight and the night before, my new home team clobbered the Rockford Icehogs in back-to-back games. This is a great start for their first season and first appearance in the Calder Cup playoffs. The “new” guy Dallas sent down, Jamie … Continue reading →

It’s a shame screenwriter Nancy Dowd took over 20 years to bring up this rather pointless beef with the Hanson Brothers. She may be responsible for the story but those guys deserve the credit for the characters they play. Hell, … Continue reading →
