Bloody Anniversary in Detroit

26 March, 2007

Ten years ago today, in Detroit, fans witnessed one of most brutal games in hockey history. 144 penalty minutes, a bloody goaltender fight (c.f. Patrick Roy’s dazed look), and the significant deepening of a great hockey rivalry between the Red Wings and Avalanche. Whether you are for or against fighting in the sport, that game [...]

Must-See (Again) TV

26 March, 2007

If like us you greatly appreciated MASN’s stellar coverage of the NCAA puck postseason this past weekend — the outlet ended up televising fully five games in their entirety Friday through Sunday — drop management there a kind word of appreciation, and urge them to make the tourney a staple of their broadcast future. Ours [...]

When Extra Helpings Are Nutritious

26 March, 2007

As best as I can tell, English has no word for the ubiquitous wish hockey fans harbor for prolonged and momentum-shifting sudden death overtime drama, be it contested in the NCAA or NHL postseasons. As we settle in for this gunslinger’s showdown that in drama has no rival anywhere in sports, and assuming we have [...]

Jason Voorhees Would Be Proud

26 March, 2007

I saw one of the oddest things on Kukla’s Korner last night. A collection of over 95 goalie masks from the past. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0GEwzhsp0I

From Boston, With Love

26 March, 2007

An interesting tidbit from Boston.com writer Kevin Paul Dupont about Milan Jurcina. Seems like there’s some serious regret about Jurcina’s departure in Boston . . . I, for one, hope to see Jurcina in a Caps jersey for many years: Last Sunday in D.C., the lowly Capitals slapped a 7-1 loss on the lofty Lightning, [...]

The Good Ol' Hockey Game

26 March, 2007

Video of first-graders at Watkins Elementary School on Capitol Hill singing Stompin’ Tom Connors’ “The Hockey Song.” It warms my heart to see such hockey love from these Washington D.C. muchkins.

Early Returns from College Hockey's Most Chaotic Weekend

25 March, 2007

I have friends who are spirited WCHA partisans, and for a week now I’ve heard moans and groans from them about their conference being slighted by the NCAA selection committee. The WCHA placed three teams in the field of 16 — Minnesota, North Dakota, and St. Cloud. My friends correctly noted: the past five NCAA [...]

Knee-jerks: @ Montreal, 3/24/07

24 March, 2007

Just quick knee-jerks this evening, as I have to spend the rest of the night figuring out who to blame for the fact that I can watch the Notre Dame/Michigan State game on three different channels, but can’t watch the North Dakota/Michigan game at all. Bryan Muir had a rough game. The Caps’ power-play was [...]
