Off Topic, But You Should Read

Man can not live on hockey alone. No, really. So tonight, I went to the Stephen Lynch concert. If you don’t know about Stephen Lynch, I am doing you a huge favor. Lynch is a Singer/Comedian, and he is very wrong. He was also on Broadway starring in The Wedding Singer: The Musical (yes, that [...]

Still Life with Hockey Nerd: Sakic Edition

(clicky makey biggy)

These are the limited edition “dome” pucks made in honor of Joe Sakic. This is also the closest I will ever get to having Joe Sakic drinking with me. On the left is 7-Up. On the right, Bekerovka, a Czech liqueur. I would tell you what it tastes like, but I don’t remember.

Avs Beat Coyotes, But Maybe Shouldn’t Have

Well, the Avs won tonight, but it’s not like they wanted to.

Avs just gave up during the third period. If there is something that every hockey fan should know, there is no lead that is safe. And if you give up and stop skating, you will learn that lesson in pain. PAIN!!! PAAIIIINNNN!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!! Ahhh… [...]

Why is Linda Cohn Writing about Hockey?

Over at ESPN.com, Linda Cohn is writing a column about hockey.  I looked at it for a few weeks when she started, but lost interest rather quickly.  While she is pretty good on SportsCenter, I have a hard time buying that she is a hockey fan.  Make her square off with Melrose and Bucci, and [...]

Two with the Canucks

Whoever comes up with the schedule for NHL games is one uncreative so and so.  Two games against the Oilers followed by two games against the Canucks.  At the end of the season.  This should show the ow incredibly stupid the schedule has been.  If you have to squeeze in the eight games a season [...]

Still Life with Hockey Nerd: NCAA Edition

Today I busted ass out of work to see the NCAA Western Regional Finals, and then busted ass to the Czech hockey bar to see the Avs play.

I have many things to tell you. Tomorrow.

The Bearable Lightness of Not Giving a Damn

For some, living and dying with your team is the ultimate in watching a hockey game.  As the Avs push towards the playoff (5 points out of the final slot), I sit on the edge of the couch, barking, shouting, cursing, cheering.  I yell whenever the puck goes in, and every mistake becomes the end [...]

A Tale of Two Games

Let me start out by saying that I do not care to do game recaps after every game. I tried it at the beginning of the season, and it sucked the life out of me. But, since the Avs are in the playoff hunt (for some unknown reason), I feel I should say a few [...]

Still Life with Hockey Nerd: Club Edition

(clicky makey biggie)

From the bar at Le Can, club level. Lines? What lines? And the beer is Molson Canadian, probably brewed right here in Colorado.

Of All The Games To Go To…

Of all the games I could have gone to, I picked the right one.

This year, thanks to the time I have had, and my lack of financial responsibility, I have gone to the most games at the Pepsi Center ever. One of the things I hate about games at Le Can is how crowded it [...]
