Islanders Roll Out The Fossils … Again

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

The only way to get fans in Charlie Chan’s hell-hole of a rink is to keep honoring these fossils from the Isles cup runs.
Who are they going to honor next? The ref that handled them the 80 cup with the blown offsides call?
Keep these fossils locked up somewhere. Everyone is sick of reading and watching […]

The NHL is believed to be looking into the Flyers’ handling of replays during Thursday night’s win over Tampa Bay. Replays of Riley Cote’s one-punch knockout of Tampa’s Andre Roy were shown repeatedly during the second half of the game, angering some of the Lightning players.
According to NHL spokesman Frank Brown, “League policy prohibits the […]

SUN Network Eclipses KO

Friday, March 7th, 2008

The Game: Flyers vs Lightning last night and the Tampa feed from SUN Network. Cote fights Roy in the first period and Roy likely gets the edge and SUN shows a nice long instant replay of the scrap.

Flyers Media - Just Like the Team - On Holiday

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

I read media coverage of pro hockey from all over the world daily. Most of it is mediocre, but it is hard making everything sound incredible and entertaining all the time. And reporters are largely underpaid, so you can’t blame a guy for dogging it every now and then if The Man is holding him […]

While the media is in love with this chump … opponents likely will torture him from here on out.
That doesn’t mean that Forsberg will not be successful. It does mean […]

Devils New Digs Has Fans Steamed

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

So a lower seat at the new Prudential Center in beautiful downtown Newark, NJ. is $200.
No, that’s not playoff pricing. That’s regular season pricing.
There were plenty of empty seats in the Meadowlands before you moved to a crime-ridden hell hole and jacked the ticket prices up.
No wonder there’s even more empty seats now. Who says […]

Maybe Stevens is Just a Plain ‘Ole Dummy

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

So you need today’s game against the Rangers because it’s a 4 point swing in the division, plus you’re fighting the Rangers for a playoff spot, and you start Nittymaki in goal?
This guy won’t last the whole game.
The good news is that I don’t have to watch the game because it’s going to be a […]
