Those ridiculous tight-fitting sweaters are rumored to be moving forward

29 October, 2006

I am a big fan of Gary Bettman’s general handling of the most significant challenge on his watch — the lockout of ’04-’05 — but it’s his handling of the smaller things that are still near and dear to the puckhead’s heart that really roils me. Remember the Glow-puck? The fresh assault comes at one [...]

It couldn’t be solved in neither regulation nor overtime, but the Atlanta Thrashers prevented the Buffalo Sabres from breaking an NHL record by starting the season 11-0 by winning beating in a shootout 5-4.

The "Slumping" Alexander Ovechkin

27 October, 2006

Prior to Wednesday evening’s plexiglass-smashing showing, Alexander Ovechkin had been the focus of increasing criticism and hand-wringing within some quarters of the Capitals’ fan base. And among some media mischief-makers. The Caps’ Mike Vogel most recently addressed this in his blog, and on the CapsReport Wednesday, he noted that one of the two major beat [...]

A Rarely Seen Talent

27 October, 2006

Without the help of Kukla’s Korner, OFB would probably have missed the following: An exotic, exciting, never-before-seen-here species was sighted yesterday in B.C.’s Lower Mainland. It was a hockey player, but a strange one. He possesses explosive speed, an equally dynamic shot, the ability to drive Colorado Avalanche defencemen through the glass and pucks into [...]

Blogger Brokers Sports Partnership

26 October, 2006

In what could be the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship, The Washington Capitals are offering their fans a special offer in support of D.C. United. The two sports’ seasons have a little overlap, so this cross-marketing partnership could be a good thing to both clubs. For anyone who has been to a DC Untied [...]

NBA commish to his players: Please don't roadtrip with your guns

26 October, 2006

(I swear this isn’t culled from The Onion.) NBA Commissioner David Stern on Wednesday issued a directive — or at least strong advice for public consumption — to his league’s players not to travel on the road this season packing heat. I swear.

Knee-jerks: at Colorado, 10/25/06

26 October, 2006

The play of Olie Kolzig (despite giving up a softie) and the Caps killing a full two-minute five-on-three Avs power-play pretty much won the day. A good road win for the Caps, against a good team. I’m fairly impressed. -Richard Zednik needs to be bumped down to the second power-play unit. At one point, he [...]
