First the signing of the cancerous Ray Emery… Then the trade involving Chris Pronger which could result in some ugly press… Now Mike Knuble has left to play for the Capitals, leaving a huge hole in my team’s offensive capability … Continue reading →

Chris Pronger? Once again, my team has decided to bring on another aging All Star whose expiration date is nearing: Hatcher, Forsberg, Hackett and Nedved quickly come to mind. My personal guess is this is what was racing through GM … Continue reading →

It will be next season against the Bruins in Fenway Park. It sucks that it’s in the heart of Masshole country but I think it’s a miracle Bettman allowed my team to participate at all. These ridiculously overpriced match-ups people … Continue reading →

My ability to pick the wrong team for the Stanley Cup (since the 2004-5 lockout) returned as the Penguins won their third last night. It was the first repeat matchup with a different result since the Oilers defeated the Islanders … Continue reading →

…and put it into GM Paul Holmgren’s head. The signing of Ray Emery is a guarantee my team will be defeated in the first round of the 2010 playoffs, if they make it that far. Being squeezed against the salary … Continue reading →

Anything to take my mind off of my team signing Ray Emery, a Terrell Owens type is what he is if you don’t know hockey but know a cancerous athlete who made the media frequently. My friend Brian told me … Continue reading →

Even as I write, the puck was dropped around 15 minutes ago. I’m late  due to digressions which were essential and worthwhile. However, I stand by my prediction despite Commissioner Bettman trying to rig the results in favor of Sh**sburgh. … Continue reading →

How can you tell when NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is lying? Simple, it’s when his lips are moving! That old chestnut used to be reserved for Ari Fleischer and Scott McLellan during the eight-year American Nightmare. Now it seems to … Continue reading →

For the first round I’m 5-3 on the outcome, same as last year and no ace as I did in 2007. Putting me at 18-6 for three years on predicting the first round. That makes me overqualified to be an … Continue reading →

Today the AHL granted Austin (really Cedar Park) a limited membership in the league. There’s a condition to purchase a team in a year. I’m confused. There will be a team but inevitably another one must be bought and relocated … Continue reading →

I was off by one game on my team being eliminated by the Penguins. Losing in game six is only bad when it happens in Philadelphia. The forums will filled with the usual invective: trade Briere, ditch Knuble, don’t sign … Continue reading →

Philly choked right at the very end by losing home ice when they lost to the struggling NY Rangers. Either way, they were facing the Penguins under the “leadership” of Crybaby Crosby, it just would’ve looked better if they could … Continue reading →

Jeremy and I are season ticket holders for the upcoming Austin Stars so one of the perks is being invited to little parties to celebrate. He couldn’t make it due to chores around his house so I was on my … Continue reading →

I dislike whiners who go on about how the (sports) media or league has it in for their team aka Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cub fans, but it didn’t look like a coincidence for my Flyers last weekend. Riddle … Continue reading →

While surfing the news via the Wii, I stumbled on this story about the future team’s (primary) owner defaulting on a payment. Great. I guess us season-ticket holders will have to petition our Congressmen for a stimulus package to keep … Continue reading →
