Today, someone at work told me, the hockey season began. Except: It started before noon where I am. They are still playing preseason games. You know, when there is preseason hockey, that should mean the season hasn’t started yet. [...] July 1st, 2008
It’s always amuses me that Canada Day and Free Agency Day occur simultaneously. While it may make sense to some, Canada being a hockey mad country, I think the pain associated with losing a player in the free agent market would make many Canadians wish the two were separated (Ryan Smyth anyone?). Also, [...] June 12th, 2008
The NHL Awards ceremony shown – eventually – on Versus, went off without a hitch without Stompin’ Tom Connors showing America what he does best. I was pretty upset, his performance being the single reason I tuned in at all. OK, that isn’t completely true. I tuned in because there is no [...] June 5th, 2008
Last night, I knew there was something missing in the presentation of the Stanley Cup. Traditionally, Gary Bettman congratulates the losing team for a great playoff run, but not last night. The most Bettman said was “It takes two great teams to compete for this marvelous trophy.” Then he moved on to [...] June 4th, 2008
First off, congratulation to the Detroit Red Wings. After winning the Presidents Trophy enough times, they have certainly earned it. They fought hard, played well, and all that. After that—– Crap. Look, I don’t care what the Red Wings fans think about my choice of teams, and I do not care what the classless [...] May 31st, 2008
Man, what a crap ass game of hockey, FOR THE PENGUINS!!!! I’m mired in the postgame coverage on ESPNews (seriously, they have hockey coverage, must mean there’s no NBA tonight), and these coach interviews remind me of why I don’t want to be a “professional” sportswriter. Actually, listening to the post game interviews by Crosby [...] May 29th, 2008
With the Stanley Cup Finals going on, it’s a slow news month for the Avs right now. Other than the signing of Tony Granato, everything else is speculation and “want to” right now. In the want to category, Theodore wants to come back to the Avalanche. From the Rocky Mountain News: Jose Theodore wants to [...] May 9th, 2008
And as they said in forth grade, don’t let the door hit you. Coach Q got the axe listened to the fans grew a brain and the Avalanche mutually agreed that it was freaking obvious was past time to be losing wasn’t a damn stand up comedy special was just best if we all moved on [...] May 3rd, 2008
Hey, how about this: “This team that everyone said wouldn’t go anywhere made it to the second round of the playoffs and I think we should be really proud of them,” said one woman. “I’m feeling pretty bad, pretty disappointed. But next year … we’re gonna get our cup!” said another fan. No, that isn’t about the Avalanche, [...] May 1st, 2008
At two points in the game, the Avs had a chance to pull ahead and survive for one more day. Those were before either team scored, and when Tyler Arnason (playoff hero? please) made the game 1-1. Aside from that, you can see what happened. And it pains me to put that up. Remember what [...] |
