The owners made a more plausible offer it seems to the players. Only time, a vote and the NHLPA’s leader will tell.

Last year’s home opener and 7-0 spanking of the OKC Barons was pretty cool. Tonight’s home opener was way more exciting. Firstly, they were behind most of the night. The Charlotte Checkers (more like Crosscheckers with their constant hits from … Continue reading →

A close game near the end (2-1) but I’ll take the two points. Let’s see if they repeat this tomorrow night against the Checkers. Last year they devastated the Barons 7-0, then the season gradually went into the toilet.

It’s a dual-purpose event. The season-ticket holders get their packages and gifts, then meet the lineup. This year we have a pair of new goalies, a few changes with the regular skaters and a new coaching staff. Sad to see … Continue reading →

The NHL is off to repeat bad history with another self-destructive lockout thanks to Gary Bettman and tightwad/dumbass owners. Never mind how profitable things were, the owners are terrible at running their businesses but like other industries…they blame unions for … Continue reading →

A couple days ago I went ahead and put down my annual futures bet on the Flyers to hoist the Cup. Figuring the lockout would happen, I asked what happens next? The nice lady at the Mirage said, if there’s … Continue reading →

The good news continues for my local team. Dallas has signed forward Francis Wathier for another two years. He’s the cardboard cutout display outside my cubicle! Mean my Francis remains valid. I think he has a shot at being the … Continue reading →

Shortly after the LA Kings and Norfolk Admirals hoisted their trophies, my local team announced a new head coach…Willie Desjardins! His track record is much longer plus he has winning credentials. Let’s see if he can turn the Stars around … Continue reading →

The Stanley Cup kicks off this Wednesday with the Devils having home ice. I hope to catch some of the game(s). Although my loyalties lean toward the Atlantic Division, I say the advantage goes to the LA Kings. They’re younger, … Continue reading →

Philly detractors can go ahead and spread their hate, blah blah blah. Never mind that their teams were mostly defeated in the first round: ‘Hawks, Bruins and Pens. Canucks just decided to choke earlier this year. Don’t hold your breath … Continue reading →

Today I thought I was only going to be writing about the finale to what became the WORST. SEASON. EVER. Sadly, the front office in Dallas felt even stronger since the coaching staff, aka the Jeffs (Pyle and Truitt) were … Continue reading →

Some of the jokes don’t require much hockey knowledge to be funny thanks to current events in Canada, namely the recent riots. Maybe I should apply. My French is rusty and I could only converse at a grade-school level but … Continue reading →

Not like you could easily see it, my playoffs-progression counter down in the lower right part of the site. I know one person caught it because she told me how amused she was over me posting my high scores from Pinballz. … Continue reading →

With a relatively easy victory over the Dallas Stars, the Red Wings are now the record holder for the longest, at-home winning streak. Now the big question will be…can they maintain it and push it out further, thus making it … Continue reading →

The Red Wings tied the 20-game-at-home winning streak held by Boston (1929-30) and Philly (1976) which puts them in great company. I’m not entirely thrilled that this came at the expense of my team but we did make it close, … Continue reading →
