And so begins the latest season of the NHL tonight. My favorite teams aren’t playing though, that will be tomorrow. Here are my predictions too. Flyers: Although I’m stoked about them coming to Dallas this season (March 2007), they are going … Continue reading →

With Friday being the first official day of Autumn, it means that hockey season starts in a couple weeks! The Phoenix Coyotes got everyone in San Antonio (and nearby) fired up by bringing the Great One (Wayne Gretzky) to the … Continue reading →

I was beginning to doubt what GM Bobby Clarke and head guy Ed Snider were saying about “taking care of” Head Coach Ken Hitchcock. He’s a good coach and he’s outlasted several others when the ownership used to blame the … Continue reading →

Someone needs to smack the headline writer for this story polluting my ESPN Hockey widget. Buffalo’s new uniforms aren’t controversial, they’re lame. I have no idea why this franchise keeps changing their colors and logos so often. They’ve never won the … Continue reading →

It was inevitable for Keith. The ongoing concussion injury was constantly bothering him and he could never get medical clearance. Better for him to retire now at 34 instead of forcing/faking a recovery only to get hit again with a … Continue reading →

My team has finally come to an agreement with its current goal-scoring star Simon Gagne; gotta’ say in with a Frawnch accent, SEE-mon GONE-yay; so he can report to training camp on time. None of this Eric Lindros holdout nonsense. … Continue reading →

I understand the change in colors somewhat. The Rampage has the same owner(s) as the Spurs and they’re only affiliated with the Phoenix Coyotes (this is a year-by-year situation) so going with the brick red would be unwise if the … Continue reading →

Tickets went on sale at 10 am today and thankfully the Rampage organization sent me an e-mail reminder Saturday afternoon. Tickets to what? The Phoenix Coyotes are coming to San Antonio for a couple days to conduct some of their … Continue reading →

This one was expected ever since the news was given in July that the Flyers wouldn’t re-sign him. Eric “Rico” Desjardins is another great Defenseman I am going to miss. He was from the Quebec school of hockey—tough, physical and … Continue reading →

When I was researching my Eric Weinrich story Saturday, I almost forgot about Milwaukee’s August first announcement for their new logo and jersey. I thought the one they’ve had since the 1980s was fine despite the Cap’n Crunch comment I … Continue reading →

At first, I was going to write about the retirement of US-born player Eric Weinrich but I was pretty tired last night and let it go until this morning. Then I see the news on my EPSN widget first thing … Continue reading →

Well, at least there’s some good news on the hockey front since my Flyers are getting trashed in the free agency derby that started on Saturday. Pronger went to Anaheim, Grier went to San José, Redden stayed in Ottawa and … Continue reading →

All I can respond with is, what took them so long? The guy died in a car accident in 2003 so death should always be a pass for someone to be let in. Now I’m not pushing for the pity … Continue reading →

I caught some of the NHL draft on OLN (soon to be VS.) Saturday night. Rather embarrassing that GM Bobby Clarke totally spaced on the name of yet another forward when he got to the podium. My team needs faster … Continue reading →

  The NHL 2005-06 Season concluded last night and the Carolina Hurricanes are the Stanley Cup winners. RATS! Well, I guess I should change the colors on the site but I won’t be in any hurry. Their victory is going … Continue reading →
