Jerseys and Hockey Love

New Gig?

I don’t have anything to say about hockey right now, because I am packing for Florida.

All I want to say is that I think my new blogging endeavor should be live blogging the new Comedy Central show “The Gong Show.”

And I’m not kidding.

Dealing with Figure Skaters

Look, I’m no fan of figure skaters. Instead of doing nice simple skating, they take up the whole ice, take out chunks with their toe picks, and generally behave badly at public skate. And they have something called a Kiss and Cry after they skate (which in hockey, is reserved for Ryan Smyth). When there was the big problem with the Islanders Ice Girls last season, that was my biggest complaint, that they were wearing figure skates on the NHL ice. If I were the goalie, I wouldn’t let them in my crease either.

But is this really how to deal with the problem?

Actually, now that I think of it, I do believe it is. I’d pay 20¢ for that.

Triple Sow Cows Salchows are for the birds.

I got the image from Chris’s Invincible Super Blog, which is the awesome. I wish there was a hockey blog like it.

Avs vs Stars: Burrito-Off

Who’s flying burrito is better?

Avs:
Avs Flying Burrito
Stars:
Stars Flying Burrito

I’d say the Avs. Mostly because the wrapping on the Stars’ burrito looks totally fake.

Ah, those were the days.

Tapeleg Studios

As you may well know, I travel a lot. My job keeps me on the road as much as possible (around 48 weeks a year when gainfully employed). That wasn’t the case when I started this blogging adventure, and I spent the vast majority of last season at home in Denver. It made life as a hockey blogger a lot easier. I was able to see games live at the Pepsi Center, and if I had to work, I could watch the taped broadcasts. I had it easy.

This season, it looks like I will be on the road for the majority of it, and, unfortunately, mostly traveling around the Eastern Conference. Still, a blogger’s gotta do what a blogger’s gotta do.

With that in mind, I thought I would bring you a little slice of my life. This is what I am calling Tapeleg Studios, my portable setup:

It’s a good thing I drive from city to city. I don’t think all of that would fit in a carry on. But, what is all that crap, you ask? Here’s the breakdown.

ESPN and The Deadly Word.

If ESPN gets to use the word ain’t on their main NHL page, so do I.

Espn - Nhl Hockey Teams, Scores, Stats, News, Standings, Rumors - National Hockey League 1189769641119-1

That is all.

Still Life with Hockey Nerd: Draft Edition

I should have put this up a long time back, but I have been a slacker. I took this at Sobo 151 when I was hanging out with Greg.

I believe that is the 1994 Rangers vs Canucks game 7 on the ipod. If you think you can’t see the puck on television, you ain’t seen nothing (wait a minute…)
