Keith Tkachuk joined the elite club of American players with 500 goals as its fourth member and the 41st in the NHL yesterday. Sadly, the Blues will not be in the playoffs again this season. I do hope he continues … Continue reading →

The site has been pretty heavy on the hockey entries but hang in there it’ll thin out soon because the NHL playoffs start this week! Meanwhile, last week was crazy as I implied and I didn’t get around to posting … Continue reading →

This team continues to amaze and frustrate me but tonight they pulled through with their 3-0 pummeling of the Devils. Thanks to the charity rule the East has to obey for the Southleast Division, either Washington or Carolina gets the … Continue reading →

Mr. Hockey himself! The picture is from the day before because I suppose the Red Wings didn’t play today. One thing I did learn from Wikipedia about him today was that despite Gretzky surpassing his record on goals and points … Continue reading →

Sure the Austin Icebats were eliminated from the playoffs last week with a 1-0 defeat in Odessa. But as I stated, I scored some decent highlights/features of their only game in Austin, which they won in overtime. Tomorrow night though … Continue reading →

Austin’s playoff run ended last night in Odessa but at least they made it close with a 1-0 loss. The Odessa Jackalopes move on probably to face the formidable Laredo Bucks, the team I think that has the best shot … Continue reading →

Their playoff hopes have been kept alive! Now it’s win or go home in Odessa tonight. I had the good fortune to make the game since there were plenty of tickets available. Attendance is usually poor on a “school” night … Continue reading →

Cedar Park has finally given the Austin Ice Bats the kiss of death in the nearly finalized deal to bring the AHL via Dallas to the area. It could still be stopped through lawsuits or other legal maneuvers since government … Continue reading →

Not bad this year. We’re at the “official” half-way point in the season with the All-Star break. My Flyers now have five more victories than they had the entire season last year! They’re also tied for first in the Atlantic … Continue reading →

The Bats are having a lousy season and are pretty close to last place but they’re currently on a winning streak. Thankfully, they didn’t disappoint me while I used our new digital camera to catch the scoring action (click on … Continue reading →

The NHL’s first Black player, Willie O’Ree, made his debut for the Boston Bruins this evening fifty years ago. Obviously he’s Canadian, like the overwhelming majority of players were in the Fifties, and he participated when his team was in … Continue reading →

My favorite US-born player, okay, favorite player, is having a great year. The Sharks were a great move. They’re in first for the Pacific with the Ducks and Stars nipping behind them but the key thing is, this franchise will … Continue reading →

The one year I have the Dish TV turned off and don’t get the NHL package would be the season my team has some incredible victories. Last night the Flyers not only crushed their interstate rivals led by Sid the … Continue reading →
