Hall of Fame Shame

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Christ, you get selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame after busting your ass during your career, you are a Canadian, and then the story announcing your selection into the shrine is written and edited by a pack of dunces.
From the wire, courtesy of the jackasses at Canadian Press. Probably some French-speaking fool that thinks […]

Shuffled out of Buffalo

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

No Briere and no Drury in the Sabres future. They are gone.
Sabres GM Darcy Reiger has yet to offer either player a new contract. They have seen no new offers. I’m not a Sabres fan but I know an asshole when I see one and Reiger fits the bill. No offer? Rookie move.
Now, Lindy “Hey, […]

First Round Bust

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Patrick Kane will do diddly squat in the NHL. I don’t see him being the super impact player everybody predicts unless he gets some size …
Blackhawks can always try again next year. Don’t they pick in the top 5 every damn year?

Unsure how to read this …

1. Either Jim Balsillie is a flaming jackass and has pissed his chances away to own an NHL team with his latest nashville debacle … or

2. The NHL is sand-bagging him.
I will go with flaming jackass. Guy can sell Blackberries but isn’t smart enough to keep his mouth shut about moving the Preds to Ontario […]

Ah yeah, like I said

Did not expect Alfredsson to try to kill Neidermayer with a puck, but I guess that would constitute not handling the pressure.
Stupid, classless move. Hopefully. someone will make him pay on Wednesday.

Swedish Meatball

The pressure is really on the Senators to produce now that Pronger is out for game four.
There is a reason that no NHL team with a Scandanavian captian (like Alfredsson) has ever won a cup. In my opinion, Alfredsson cannot handle the pressure of the cup finals. If he gets separated tonight from his line […]

Irony Personified

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

Is this the same NHL that refuses to provide media/press credentials to hockey websites because they aren’t “official media?,” as they put it?
Ironic, eh?

NHL Smarter than a 5th Grader? …. Nope.

20 penalties in a cup finals game with no fighting majors? Ridiculous. And 12 against the Ducks. Plus Alfredson’s kicked in goal being allowed?
Now, Pronger has been suspended for trying to check a midget. Instead he caught his head. Six-foot-six vs 5-foot-10. Probably should have been suspended. Borderline either way, but easy if you’re the […]

Canadian Bacon and Scrambled Reporters

Friday, June 1st, 2007

It’s almost as entertaining to watch the Canadian media scrambling around searching for answers to the Senators woes, as it is watching and listening to the Senators coaching staff.
Here’s a tip: Ducks are just the better team. Might change. Don’t think so though.
In Philly, the reporters had the guts to say just that after the […]

No Secret to Blackhawks Un-Success

Friday, June 1st, 2007

Sometimes you read something. Pause. Then read it again to make sure you read it correctly the first time.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (CP) - The Chicago Blackhawks have zeroed in on three players as they prepare to make the first overall selection in the 2007 NHL entry draft in just over three weeks. It appears either Kyle […]
