Whoa! Tape-to-tape, crisp, hard passes (that were actually caught by the recipient), quality shots (that actually caused the goalie to move), an-honest-to-God POWER PLAY GOAL, some Czechs not named Michalek or Hanzal (amazing what happens when forecheck and back check are in the lineup). Who were those masked men? The Coyotes? Really? They’re back?
Yep the […]

Okaaayyy, blood pressure is back down, or at least within normal ranges. Srsly, talk about almost strokin out at a game! Maybe its true that I take my hockey a lil too seriously…. naaaah, no such thing.
So I guess its time to talk about the second game that shall not be mentioned ever again after […]

HTH, Teal and I would like to take this time to say thank you to all our guests. To all of our hockey family and friends we hope you have a safe and sane holiday season. We wish you fun, love and prosperity in the season of giving. Whatever your belief system, where ever you […]

Fedoruk - Please Santa, get the Fridge his front teeth… and some side ones too… or at least a reminder device to tell him to take them with him for interviews?
Boedker -Boedy could use some ProActive solution. I hate to be mean… but the NHL has not been good to that gorgeous lil rookie’s complexion […]

NHL.com is wrong…dead wrong. There is nothing ugly about the play of Peter the Great nor Martin Bboy Hanzal. Whats ugly is the tendency of the press to pick on any team NOT in the old boys network. Peter had a slow start sure (extra muscle=skating and shooting adjustments and the early hip flexor didn’t […]

I guess the elven magic ran out. I give major props to Lemaire for his system. Defense on steroids. But what happens when your vaunted D breaks down? ROFLMAO You lose to the Coyotes. Seriously, Jaques, there has to be a point when your boys can get loose and fire the puck. Eventually St. Nick […]

Keys to this game:
Get the lead…keep the lead. Once the Wild get a lead they shut down tighter than a fat lady’s girdle. They can play like that to protect a lead, for freakin ever. Don’t let them have the opportunity to play their game. Keep them scrambling, do NOT let them get comfortable. Remember! […]

Guess I won’t have to put Versteeg on my slap this bitch list. The NHL did it for me… slapped that lil bitch that is. Versteeg gets the fine and the suspension and the really laughable part is… he says KT challenged him to fight! What a joke this kid is… Own yer error dude…all […]

OK does it get more pathetic than this statement? “The Blackhawks have won four straight and six of seven against the Coyotes, including three in a row at home by a combined score of 11-2.” This has simply GOT to stop, Sheesh these games are sooo winnable. What is it about the Hawks that gets […]

Do NOT underestimate the Blues. Despite the fact that we have beaten them already (both last season *the whole series* and once in 08) these boys are no joke. Led by Keith Tkachuk who will be celebrating his 1000th point before the game, the former Jet/Yote is one tough competitor and has 8 PP goals […]
