Jerseys and Hockey Love

I just got my copy of The Hockey News’ Yearbook. Holy s#!+ is Sidney Crosby boring.

For three pages of fluff and pictures, Crosby puts us to sleep, answering the most hack questions a hockey person could ask. If it will help steer you from wasting your time by reading it, I will now give you [...]

For the past few days, work has been unforgiving, mostly in the time department. A few long days, with little sleep, and blogging went by the way side. I have a few things in the pipe, and a few things I want to post about, but today, I have no brain for any of it. [...]

For the final birthday jersey, may I present Dan Hinote, formerly of the Colorado Avalanche:

You can click the picture to make it bigger, and really, you should.Why? Besides the fact that it’s Dan (Frickin’) Hinote? If you haven’t noticed, I have a few game-worn jerseys, from many different leagues. AHL, ECHL, Russian Super League, Slovak [...]

This is something I’ve been avoiding, partly because things are still a little up in the air, and partly because I will not be right. But if I wasn’t willing to stick my neck out, I should have just written a diary. Since this is my first time doing this, don’t expect too much out [...]

David Frost arrested for sexual assault

This should surprise no one. It’s about time. Via the CBC:

Frost, 39, was charged with 12 counts of sexual exploitation and one count of
assault of seven victims – four males and three females between the ages of 14
and 16.

I hope this guy gets the book thrown at him. I can’t [...]

I was reading through the Avalanche media guide at the bar the other day, and I came across this little bit about Marek Svatos:

2002-2003: Sustained his third separated shoulder injury in a three-week span on
Jan. 23… Forced to undergo season-ending surgery in late January, ending
his AHL rookie season.

Three separated shoulders in three weeks? If [...]

There has been a lot of activity on the hockey jersey front lately, and I would be remiss in not bringing it to you. From the Bloggers you know and love:

Reality Check at Eyes on the Prize tells the tale of how a certain prized jersey came into his possession. Jerseys aren’t just clothes, they [...]

Yesterday was my niece’s 2nd birthday, which was a great chance to get her on the path of good and true Avs fan. If you don’t start early, they may turn bad, like becoming a Canucks fan.

Tell me that isn’t cute:

Unusual things to do with the lace in front:

Pick out the 2 year old (Hint: [...]

There’s only one picture of this jersey, so click it to make it bigger:

This is my USA Hockey jersey. And before you go off about USA Hockey, and USA vs. Canada, know two things: 1) I have 2 Canada hockey jerseys, and 2) I am a USA Hockey member. So there. This was pretty much [...]

Zanstorm is in denial. Poor guy. Take a look at these bobbleheads I whipped up for him. I’m not saying he is a drunk, or even touches the stuff (lush), but I am sure he knows who drives the bus around his blog. Just go to the very bottom of the page, and check out [...]
