I woke this morning to the news – that NHL brains have made a sharp u-turn and hockey will begin again, maybe on January 15, maybe on January 19. (Details can be found on 8,537 news and sports sites). I’m not ready for this. I’m not finished talking about Gary Bettman and rich hockey players [...]

Let’s see, let me check; Still no hockey — check NHLPA and NHL will meet again soon — check It’s now 800 news clips, or maybe 8000, of NHLPA and NHL brass walking into a hotel and out again — check Gomez has 4 goals and 6 assists in 8 games with the Alaska Aces [...]

Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney has been given the big job across the pond of Bank of England governor, and Blue Bayou (Donal) in London wants to know which team the guy cheers for. BB also thinks the NHL (20 teams) should move to England and play for the Cup there instead. Here’s his [...]

Another from Beatnik:

Whenever I read a story from CBC’s Elliotte Freidman or Bob McKenzie at TSN or any of the other hockey guys telling us about the lockout and how it’s going, I always notice a bunch of comments that basically say the same thing; Who cares. I’ve moved on. Yawn. So I’m hesitant to talk about [...]

Thanks again to Beatnik for yet another interesting video. Ian White has his say. And therein lies the difference between his job and mine. If I blasted the head honcho of my company, it probably wouldn’t have a happy ending. But good for White. He says what every player and most fans feel.

I’m taking a break today, unless something big happens, like maybe an end to the lockout, or Scott Gomez scores a goal at his nephew’s peewee house league scrimmage. Today, I’m going to go for a big walk (I’ve lost 22 pounds in three months), and I might even stop in at the local pub [...]

NHL owners and the NHLPA need a big break. They’ve been working nearly six hours a day for two days now. SIX HOURS. I’m exhausted just thinking about it. I’ll bet they’re losing weight from this brutal schedule.This must be why Gary Bettman is shrinking. No wonder they’re not punching in for today’s meetings until [...]

I’ve had a hard time lately. I can’t seem to find my 8×10 Scott Gomez picture that Darth sent me. I’ve looked in quite a few places – the kitchen cupboards, under the bed, the hair brush drawer, the compost heap, between toilet paper rolls, the cat food bag, in the fireplace, under the basement [...]

Below is a partial list of Molson beer products that maybe you could hold off buying to show your displeasure regarding this unspeakable NHL lockout. Hell, I’ll even go as far as suggesting you stop buying those ten buck beers at the games once they do get going. You’ll be saving money, sending a message, [...]
