I honestly hate this. A big, beautiful condor named Queen Victoria, probably confused and scared out of its’ mind, at an ECHL game between the Bakersfield Condors and Las Vegas Wranglers. Just not a good idea at all, and I don’t even know why I’m showing it.

First it was food poisoning, now a lower body injury, which means Scott G. has been a non-factor for his Alaska Aces lately. Aces fans can at least now feel some of our pain. This has been your up-to-date Scott Gomez report.    

It seems there’s only one thing to say – Scott Gomez belongs only several notches down from the NHL. Gomer scored a goal and added an assist in helping his Alaska Aces beat the Utah Grizzlies 4-2 in Anchorage, thus giving the Mexican/American 3 goals and 4 assists in six games. Of course he could [...]

Gomer didn’t play in Bakersfield. Apparently he got food poisoning. Tonight (Sat.), the Alaska Aces are in Ontario, a city just outside of L.A., and there’s no guarantee Gomer will suit up. Thousands upon thousands may be disappointed. Ontario is birthplace of overweight Detroit Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder. Fielder doesn’t even come close to [...]

Yes, I know. You’re waiting impatiently. Sorry but I had to sleep. And then there was that 40 minutes on the toilet. It was a rainy and sort of mild 12 celsius (53 F)  in Stockton during Gomer and his Alaska Aces’ big visit to Northern California on Wednesday night, and the good news for [...]

Forget for awhile about signings and non-signings and Saku Koivu and Alex Kovalev. It’s all too much on this lovely weekend. Now is the time to celebrate. Because in one area of Habsdom, we are champions of the world! Okay, so it’s not the Montreal Canadiens winning the Stanley Cup, or any of the Habs [...]

Scott Gomez isn’t exactly the big centreman most of us had in mind. In fact, the team just got smaller by dealing 6′, 203 lb. Chris Higgins and minor leaguers defencemen Ryan McDonagh and Pavel Valentenko to the New York Rangers for 5’11, 200 lb Gomez, plus AHL’er Tom Pyatt and ECHL defenceman Mike Busto. Frankly, [...]

When the NHL decides to expand once again, it certainly won’t be Winnipeg, Quebec, Toronto, or Hamilton, or in general, places where people understand that ice is also for skating on, not just putting up noses. It’ll be where Gary Bettman wants it to be, and that means no Canada. And right now, it seems that the leading contender [...]

Imagine. It’s almost time for the Habs - Columbus Blue Jackets game. And I’m thinking that I should fill you in on the Blue Jackets a little.   RJ Umberger.   That’s it. That’s all there is to talk about. RJ Umberger, the rotten bastard who almost single-handedly eliminated the Canadiens last year in the playoffs when he played [...]
