Before we address last night’s U.S.-Canada showdown, a word of hello from the Capitals’ captain to the former Capitals’ quitter, at Olympic center ice, in Super Sunday’s first big game:
Can’t watch that too often, can we? The only way to improve on that Marlboro Man moment would have been if Jagr were still dating a [...]
My filmmaker friends Tommy Haines and Andrew Sherburne recently placed my review of their terrific new documentary, ‘Forgotten Miracle,’ on the film’s website. I’m beyond flattered. More importantly, if you haven’t seen it, get over to the site and add it to your DVD library, even if you consider yourself only a moderate sports fan. [...]
Imagine setting out to document in film a historic sports achievement which by virtue of its time period offers only minimal archival footage. A great, great story to be told without much in the way of camera-eye evidence. Such was the dilemma-challenge confronted by Andrew Sherburne and Tommy Haines, makers of the celebrated 2007 documentary [...]
For hockey fans, it’s like a Christmas present received a month early: Andrew Sherburne and Tommy Haines, makers of the 2008 documentary ‘Pond Hockey,’ have reapplied their filmmaking skills and love of hockey to another puck project, ‘Forgotten Miracle.’ It tells the tale of the first true American Miracle on Ice — the 1960 U.S. Olympians [...]
Framed in the living room of his St. Albans, Missouri, home are tickets Herb Driscoll and business associates used to attend a very special hockey game in Lake Placid, New York, on February 22, 1980. That Driscoll made it inside the Olympic hockey arena that fateful Friday night is a small miracle in itself.
It’s Black Friday. You’ve thought about heading out to the mall looking for bargains on Christmas presents, but you don’t want to be another small fish in the sea of humanity, fighting for parking spaces, and standing in long lines.
OFB has your solution. First head over to Zazzle to pick up some OFB loot:
Then head [...]
If nothing else I’ve learned this about our magnificent sport over the years: hockey enriches the lives of its players and fans, but the people in it actually have an uncanny ability to change lives. Mine got changed, again, on Monday night, in a small Northwest Washington movie theater filled with hockey lovers bearing witness [...]
Joining Jonathan Warner on the weekly Saturday Night Caps last night was Eric McErlain and our very own pucksandbooks. Calling into the show was Tara Wheeler, Miss Virginia / Hockey Goalie, and Andrew Sherburne, writer/producer/editor of Pond Hockey. The common theme? Skating outdoors.
Give it a listen here. [ admin edit. The copyright nazis have [...]
Were I a judge in the Miss America Pageant, a capacity in which I like to think I would be distinctly over-qualified to serve, I would seek to distinguish America’s great beauties and talents by their knowledge of . . . hockey. The 2009 Miss America Pageant will be held in January in Las Vegas, [...]
One week from today the documentary ‘Pond Hockey’ arrives for a single-night screening at Washington’s historic Avalon Theater. Next Monday night we know we’re in for a great cinematic experience, one that richly captures outdoor hockey’s ageless and enduring appeal, but we have another aim for the evening: we want every puckhead patron seated in [...]
