These things always seem to happen when I’m at work and not supposed to be on the computer. Erik Cole is now a Dallas Star, and Michael Ryder, who toiled for the Habs for four seasons between 2003 and 2008, is back in the fold. Who wudda thunk. Before the Stars, Ryder spent three years as a Boston [...]

It appears Bruins’ goalie Tim Thomas isn’t the only ultra-right wing, redneck nutcase in the NHL. This was in the Vancouver Province last week, written by Nolan Kelly, and apparently it caused a sensation on Twitter. It’s about Canucks winger David Booth, who definitely isn’t a hippie. In Defense of Criticizing David Booth And so [...]

NHL referee Chris Lee and his wife are sitting at home when his wife gets up, turns out all the lights, and goes to bad. Chris decides to stay up and read for another hour. How could he read without lights? Answer: He was reading braille. A man saw Gary Bettman crossing the road and swerved to [...]

The original Stanley Cup, from 1892. Even Gary Bettman could have lifted it. Maybe. If only it hadn’t gotten bigger over the years. The darn thing’s 36 inches high now, whereas the original was just over 7 inches. It’s too much for little Gary. And of course he wouldn’t lift the modern one above his head even if he could - [...]

What rivals the Academy Awards, Grammys, Emmys, and Golden Globe Awards? Not the NHL Awards Show, that’s for sure. Tonight’s the night we see players wearing uncomfortable tuxedos and their women beaming proudly. We see awkward speeches, hopefully some seriously low cleavage in the audience, and no Scott Gomez anywhere. We’ve also seen Ron McLean [...]

Tim Thomas is taking a year off. A year at least. The Bruins or some other team, like Toronto, will have to decide at some later date if they want a chubby, slow, ultra-conservative prick to stop pucks for them. If he decides to return, that is. Maybe he’ll hook up with a KHL team. Hah! That would be [...]

Marc Bergevin has had a day to pinch himself and realize what just happened, and now it’s time to get down to business. And signing Carey Price is a big part of getting down to business. Price is going to want a substantial raise from the $3 million he made this year (Price signed a [...]

We’ve learned recently that Bruins’ netminder Tim Thomas is a hard-core rightwinger, and this doesn’t mean he wants to play forward or study Maurice Richard’s or Gordie Howe’s moves down the right side. It means he’s an ultra-conservative type who would’ve wanted to grab me and cut my long hair if he was around at [...]

The Canadiens dropped their third straight Monday night, a 3-2 loss in Boston, and although they scored late in the game to make Bruins fans maybe even slightly nervous, it was a still a loss, the team goes nowhere, and Randy Cunneyworth is 0-2, which must have the Quebec culture cops rubbing their hands with glee. I [...]

It was one of those nights that seemed like it was going to be slightly tough beating the enemy goalie. And it was. In fact, Tim Thomas wasn’t beaten even once as the Canadiens fall 1-0 to the visiting Bruins, and that, combined with me laid up sick, made my night a complete exercise in misery. [...]
