SIGN, SEALED & DELIVERED. Puck drops January 19. As Leonard Cohen and just about every other musician would say, hallelujah. The NHL did a nice job trying to romanticize the sport after killing it with negotiations, shenanigans, and a claim. Follow the link to check out the NHL #hockeyisback commercial. I have no idea why I … Continue reading
It’s finally starting to sink in: the NHL lockout is over. After 113 days of misery, legalese and numbers, numbers and more numbers, fans can finally look forward to puck drop. We’re still at least a week away from the beginning of the 48(ish) game season, so I thought I’d dig up some pictures of … Continue reading
Since the lockout is still alive and well, I thought I’d take a quick look at a team that could be in the running for more NHL talent in the event the NHL season is called off. Continue reading

I think it’s interesting to read Tweets when there’s an announcement or development regarding the state of the lockout. Everyone is so angry, and others claim they just don’t even give a shit anymore. I’ve been there, I’ve felt…things. It’s ugly. Fans feel used, abused, powerless and defeated. When some vow never to return to … Continue reading
Pictures like this lessen the blow of the NHL lockout. It’s really hard to be upset about our players taking off to Europe when you see how much their presence means to people there, especially the kids. Did you hear that Don? THE KIDS! Europe has children who love hockey and the NHL too. Look … Continue reading
A few days ago, Viktor Stalberg announced he was leaving Frolunda HC in the Swedish Elite League (Elitserien) to go make KHL bling. The Blackhawks winger abruptly left after only a month with his former team to play in Russia and it seems the KHL team is infinitely more excited about his arrival than Stalberg … Continue reading
