Knee-Jerks & Notes: Caps-Habs, 12/20

21 December, 2007

After seeing the vintage Canadiens in Tuesday’s screening of “The Rocket,” we were looking forward to watching the Bleu, Blanc, et Rouge take on the Red, White, and Blue. First, the bad news: Pothier fractured his [...]

Video Evidence

20 December, 2007

Thanks to Comcast Sports Net’s super producer Adam, the video of the Caps’ Segway adventure that recently aired on Comcast is now available on YouTube. It’s even better than the photos. (See today’s blog entry for those.)

"The Rocket" Comments by Weber and Labre

20 December, 2007

We were lucky to have had former Washington Capital Yvon Labre and former radio play-by-play voice Ron Weber not only attend OFB’s viewing of “The Rocket”, but they graciously took the microphone in hand at the front of the theatre to answer questions and provide a little insight as well. Here is a short video [...]

Swan Song for Chris Simon?

20 December, 2007

Tuesday night at the Avalon Theater I listened to Yvon Labre persuasively make the case that hockey’s once sordid past with respect to player violence had been replaced by an era of enlightenment. There is I think powerful evidence in support of that position: two- and three-hundred-penalty-minute games are long gone; roster spots for the [...]

'The Rocket' Belongs with the Best in Hockey Filmmaking

19 December, 2007

If you couldn’t attend OFB Night at the Movies last night, you still have two evenings — tonight and tomorrow — to make it over to the Avalon during its week-long screening of ‘The Rocket.’ I highly recommend you doing so. I would not term ‘The Rocket’ a great movie but rather a good one [...]

Hockey Rinks from South Dakota to South Africa

18 December, 2007

Ever wonder what professional ice hockey teams play in New Zealand? How about Dubai? Where can you catch a pro game next time you’re in Bahrain, or Spain, or mainly on the plain? Well a dedicated French hockey fan named Sam has completed quite a project: a Google map of every professional hockey team’s ice [...]
