Forces have come together that allow me to attend tonights Blue Jackets playoff game. It I one thing to hear a report of the excitement around re game. It is another to experience it.

This is what I am greeted with as I exit the highway. What can you do?

Vroom Vroom Party Starter: Caps Take It to the Ladies

Remember a week ago when Jose Theodore was talking about his position with the Capitals vs the Avalanche? Of course, he got it handed right back to him in the form of a 4-1 loss against his former team. But for all the faults of the Avs management, they wouldn’t make him do [...]

Where Should Sean Avery Go: My Picks

Now that the one who should not give interviews has completed his program to diminish his usefulness “anger management” program, the question on the minds of hockey fans is not if his play will have changed, but where he will wind up. There are several possibilities to complete his return to hockey. Without [...]

Keeping an Eye on the Games

Thomas May Be My New Favorite Goalie

Look, I don’t do many pure youtube posts anymore.  But this is too good.

Tim Thomas is my new favorite goalie.  I always had a fondness for the guy.  His story of how he got to the NHL is compelling, but his play has sold me in the past.  Acrobatic, as well as entertaining, Thomas was [...]

Winter Classic Post: Can’t Live Without It

It wasn’t a question as to wether I would watch the Winter Classic (can you call something classic before it happens?), it was if I would enjoy it or not. How good a job would NBC do? How good would the NHL do? Was it going to be old hat?

Last year versus this [...]

Bitter Over the Shootout, Party of One

Via Kuklas, this is what we get from the St. Petersburg Times (by Damian Cristodero):

The shootout must go. It is an argument that will fall on deaf ears. The fans love it, and if the fans love it, the league loves it, too. But after what happened Thursday in the Lightning’s shootout loss to the [...]

Tampa To Hire, Fire Entire League

Kukla’s Korner pointed me to this. From Lightning Strikes:

The Tampa Bay Lightning placed Jussi Jokinen on waivers at noon Friday. We will know whether he clears or is picked up by another team at noon Saturday. Jokinen has six goals but zero in his past 15 games.

I mentioned last night in my Sundin post [...]

Thank God That’s Over: Sundin Signs With Canucks

You know, this has been way too long in the making. I feel like I have been held hostage by uninteresting Sundin talk for way to long. Finally, Mats Sundin has signed with the Vancouver Canucks. And you know what, I am not trembling in my boots. Here’s why:

While 28 [...]
