On the upside, at least they got everything worked out to let the NHL players participate in the Olympics. Since the Winter Games will be in Russia, Canada won’t receive a mulligan this time, namely the whiney Cindy Crosby. Now … Continue reading →

This week, the Hockey Hall of Fame announced who was being inducted. If it weren’t for Chelios getting in, I’d say their Canadian bias were showing since Roenick, Housley and Tkachuk got stiffed. Lindros was a stretch for a nomination. … Continue reading →

Finally, for at least the first time in four season, a Western Conference team has won the Calder Cup! I would’ve preferred it to be my Stars but I am willing to settle for Detroit’s proxy because it wasn’t OKC … Continue reading →
