We Look Like Postseason Calgary

5 April, 2008

If you saw Calgary Flames’ playoff games when “Red Outs” were declared, that’s what Verizon Center looks like tonight. All three levels. Comcast’s Lisa Hillary spent part of her broadcasting career in Calgary. “This looks just like Calgary’s ‘Red Mile’,” she told me.

Hockey That Matters

1 April, 2008

Here’s a promo for tonight’s Flames vs. Oilers game from Rogers SportsNet West. Think we’ll ever see a similar promo on Comcast SportsNet or Versus?

Beating a Dead Horse

26 March, 2008

This week featured two very different columns from opposite sides of the country about Hart candidacy. Let’s start with Ross McKeon’s head-scratching column from Yahoo! Sports: People in Washington and Pittsburgh won’t like to hear this, but if the season were to end today, Jarome Iginla is the league’s most valuable player…He may not have [...]

Misguided Mike Strikes Again

18 March, 2008

Another day, another post about who should win the Hart. Mike Brophy, THN columnist, treated us to his completely original ruminations that featured suggestions like this: I will say, though, I have narrowed it down to four candidates — goalies Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils and Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks, left [...]

Fire on Ice

This is not the Calgary Flames’ idea of a dramatic entry for its players.

Quarter Mark Report Card

21 November, 2007

My three stars of the season’s first quarter are: (3) Pascal Leclaire — the backstopper of the BlueJackets, disbelievingly into playoff contention, with a .940 save percentage, 1.59 goals-against (second-best in the league) and five shutouts. He’s my Vezina Trophy winner for the first quarter; (2) Henrik Zetterberg — previously a terrific scoring forward, now [...]

OFB Season Preview

3 October, 2007

What would a band of hockey bloggers be without predictions for the new NHL season? We don’t claim to possess either a crystal ball or spy’s eyes inside the training camps of 29 other clubs, but we thought it might be helpful to our readers to compile a list of offseason (and late last season) [...]

Ice Girls of the NHL

29 August, 2007

Japers’ Rink let the Capitals’ limited season ticket survey out of the bag that once again broached the subject of “Ice Girls”. Neither OrderedChaos nor I received the season ticket survey, so we don’t know if it included more than the five questions mentioned by Japers’. Although we have pondered the idea of Washington Capitals’ [...]

Mike Keenan is The Highlander

15 June, 2007

I’m not a big fan of ESPN’s Scott Burnside. He knows hockey and loves the game, but is too reactionary –†he seems to decry every big hit as dirty, for example†– and he clearly has no love lost for the Capitals and other small-market teams. But I totally agree with Burnside’s assessment of Flames’ GM [...]
