If I Were A Hockey Player…

I was wondering who would finally tag me with this meme, started by Jes. It turned out not to be the beer and rum swilling offseason compatriots of mine, but rather, a couple bloggers up in Eastern Conference of Canada. Thanks Sherry and E. Cards and flowers will soon be coming.

Hockey Team: Colorado Avalanche (come [...]

Hockey Night Part 3

Yes, another hockey night script. These are little scenes, written in the style of Aaron Sorkin, of Sports Night, West Wing, and Studio 60. Enjoy.

EXT. HOCKEY ARENA
The team is loading up on a bus to go from the practice facility to the arena. DAN is coming out to the bus, but TED intercepts him.

Hey, wait. [...]

All Star Blogging

Since I’m watching the All Star Game, and popping around the blogs, I thought I’d put up my two cents. Jes is live-blogging the game, and Kukla’s has an open thread going. All Star Blogging. It’s just a fun night of hockey, or at least, it’s supposed to be. Here goes:

How long was the opening? [...]

New Jerseys: Still Waiting

The NHL has introduced the new RBK EDGE jerseys and equipment system. Aside from having too many capital letters, boosting the price, and putting out this ridiculous site to promote them, I still have no clue what to think about them. I still haven’t really seen them.

There are flashy pictures around, with Sidney Crosby cut [...]

Jersey: 2004 All Star Game

Was this the last great All Star Jersey?

(click to make bigger)

Of course, this is the Joe Sakic All Star jersey. It scares me a little to own it, because, of the four jerseys with Avs players names on them that I own, Super Joe is the only one who still plays for the Avs. This [...]

Old Man Ranting

The other day, one of the bloggers I complemented posted a comment that said I was “sort of becoming the patron saint of aspiring internet hockey writers”… Nothing like that to make you feel old, eh? I thought patron saints were supposed to be dead, or bald. OK, fine, I’m bald, but that doesn’t make [...]

Jersey: UHL All Star Game

With the NHL All Star Game coming up, I thought it would be appropriate that I post a few All Star Jerseys.

This is the jersey from the 2004-05 UHL All Star Game. While most of the US was toiling in hockey limbo, I was in Boston, with college hockey, nearby [...]

Dear Versus, That was Better…

But only a little. You still have some work to do.

That is all.

Dear Versus, You Suck

Dear Versus,

Can you tell me what the hell you were thinking?

If your broadcast of tonights Sharks vs. Avalanche game was a tryout for my Drunken Hockey Blog idea, you may have won the top slot in the lineup.

There were two main problems with the game:

1) The look.At the start of the game, the ice was [...]

Team Blogging

Some days, I get a little jealous. I look around at the blogosphere, and there are some really fun team blogs out there. There are the “Battle Of” blogs (California, Ontario, Alberta), and there are regular blogs written by several people (Hockey Rants, for instance). It just looks like so much fun. I can picture [...]
