Fist Hitting Face Can Be Good And Bad

Like most every other kid, I got in my share of neighbourhood scraps which usually involved a lot of wrestling, a headlock or two, some serious swearing, and a taunt from the other kid that he saw my sister naked or something equally lowdown, which led to more wrestling, headlocks, and swearing. 
But I hate real [...]

Puck Piles

I posted this picture a couple of years ago but I’m doing it again because I have to get over to the brand new Powell River Tim Hortons and get a Boston creme doughnut before they run out so I don’t have time to screw around. That’s me on the right. We were the three [...]

A Mock Draft From The Arena

I really wanted to put up something regarding the upcoming entry draft, but to be honest, there are way too many folks out there who know much more about these young fellows than I do. So I wondered, how am I going to do this? Wouldn’t it be great if I could rely on someone [...]

Kane Scores Overtime Cup Winner

I always wanted to say that – “Kane Scores Overtime Cup Winner.”  Unfortunately, in real life it was Patrick Kane, not me.
The Chicago Blackhawks are the new champions of hockey on the strength of Kane’s slightly-soft goal that found its way through Michael Leighton, and have finally put to bed the “haven’t won since 1961″ label. [...]

The Good Old Scrapbooks

  
Some kids work on cars with their dads, or go fishing together, or play catch. My dad and I fished a little, threw the ball around sometimes, but mostly, made a couple of dandy hockey scrapbooks.
Of course, the big one is the Montreal Canadiens scrapbook that he and I made together and although it’s getting [...]

Come-From-Behind Kids Tie Series With Hawks

Could it be we were all wrong about this?
I’m not sure I heard anyone say the Flyers had a chance against Chicago, and yet, after four games, the series is tied and it’s the Hawks now who have the jitters. And could it be that there was a reason most of Montreal’s forward were silent when [...]

Georges Laraque Needs A Beach

I’m sick of Georges Laraque and I want him to go away. I don’t want to see him in anymore ridiculous commercials (see bottom) and I don’t want to see him fighting UFC’s Georges St. Pierre on TSN either.
I especially don’t want him yapping about how important a player he was for the Habs only that bastard Jacques [...]

I Wonder If Kate Even Liked Hockey

Frankly, I like hearing Kate Smith sing ‘God Bless America’ in Philadelphia. I like the fact that tradition is upheld, even in Philly, and old Kate been’s singing this tune, alive and dead and off and on, since the Broad Street Bullies of the early and mid 1970’s terrorized the league with their thuggery.
I also love the idea [...]

The “Too Many Men On The Ice” Thing

Given the inordinant amount of penalties being called in these playoffs for too many men on the ice, maybe it’s time to get back to basics. Therefore, I’m enclosing a little diagram that might prove helpful to NHL players and coaches.

Meanwhile, super sleuth Danno has uncovered a serious problem that both Don Cherry and Claude [...]

Boston Or Philadelphia? Who Do You Want For The Habs?

Who would you like the Habs to play – Boston or Philadelphia?
It’s a tough one. Both teams look pretty solid to me and each has a reasonably impressive lineup, although not as impressive as Washington and Pittsburgh. Boston boasts Patrice Bergeron, elder statesman Mark Recchi, and Milan Lucic (remember when Lucic hammered Montreal’s Mike Komisarek). Michael Ryder and Miroslav Satan can [...]
