Stupid Freebees

Is there no end to the stupid crap they give you at hockey games? No, there is not. They could have given us a puck, but no, they give us an Alex Tanguay nesting doll.

Seriously, I could not come up with that. Who brought this idea up in a meeting? Are they still with the [...]

Armenian Hockey Vodka

I’m packing up everything I own to go back on tour for at least 6 months, if not longer. I figured I would take a few pictures of the hockey stuff I own, just to put up here.

This is Armenian Vodka, in a goalie shaped bottle.

I don’t know much more about it, not why it [...]

My Drinking Buddy, Greg

This is Greg from the Post-Pessimist Association.

Greg and I drink beer, good beer. We talk hockey, we talk about growing up in Colorado. We even talk about IBM. Go figure. Greg and I like to meet up at the Czech hockey bar and drink Czech beer. Greg, frankly, rocks.

If you are in Atlanta, buy this [...]

RBK EDGE System ON Display

A Favorite Photo from the Draft

I love this picture…

Yes, that’s Phil Pritchard, Keeper of the Cup. He was a little embarrassed when I said he was almost as famous as the Cup itself. He noticed my jersey, and told me that hockey in Russia is almost as good as hockey is here. He wasn’t really working the crowd, but he [...]

Breakfast at the Airport

Written at 7:15 AM at the airport, uploaded when I got internet access.

5:30 AM came quickly this morning. My flight home leaves at 8:15 and gets in at 9:something, getting there virtually before it leaves. If you were at the airport this morning, and didn’t know the NHL Draft was going on, you would know [...]

Turn Out the Lights…

If I hadn’t been there, I would have never guessed that there had been a major sports draft held at the Nationwide Arena today. Everything is back to life as usual in the arena district, which is to say, the bars are working, there are no hockey jerseys to be seen, and the arena itself [...]

New Blue Jackets Jersey: Not Exactly Slimming

Before the first round was complete, it was time to leave, as hunger and annoyance was starting to set in (How freaking long can one round take?) On the way out, I decided to stop and check out the new Blue Jackets jerseys. They even let me try one on.

(Click on any picture to make [...]
