Chris Clark: The Long Road to an Important Return

20 November, 2009

His return has been long in the making,. After a career year three years ago Captain Chris Clark faded into obscurity. Two groin pulls, a wrist injury and a demotion to the third line later; the Captain has finally made his return from the abyss to become a critical part of the Washington team yet again.

Great TV

7 August, 2008

As one who criticized the NHL Network for a meagerness of programming this summer, I need to be quick on the draw to commend the outlet for what it did for hockey fans last night. Wednesday night’s documentary on the 1988 trade of Wayne Gretzky from Edmonton to LA, labeled ‘A Day that Changed the [...]

Programming Fit For a King … and Blue, and Ranger, and Oiler

5 August, 2008

In commemoration of the 20 year anniversary of “The Trade“, the NHL Network has designated the remainder of this week as Gretzky Week.¬† While one might argue that it is not as terrifying as Shark Week, we would bet a number of netminders from the ’80s would beg to differ.

Well His Name Isn't Gary Fretman

24 June, 2008

The NHL ownership scandals continue; and it’s beyond Boots Del Baggio and his shady tactics for buying the Nashville Predators . . . Anaheim Ducks owner Henry Samueli has pleaded guilty to lying to federal authorities. Gary Bettman seemed unperturbed:
“The Samuelis have been terrific owners. They’re perhaps the most community-minded and charitable people in all [...]

First-Round Flops Over the Years

20 June, 2008

No team can get it right in round one every year, even drafting very high. And at times all teams get it really wrong then. A survey such as this is a powerful reminder of the crapshoot that is selecting 18-year-old hockey players. However, it is also an invitation for fans to react with, “What [...]

John Buccigross: SportsCenter Anchor, NHL columnist, and … OFB Reader?

4 January, 2008

Over the holiday weekend two weeks ago, pucksandbooks played a “what if” game concerning the future of Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals. In the post, he suggests that “should the Caps and Ovechkin arrive at an impasse in new deal discussions, excruciatingly painful though it may be, a deal with the Kings could [...]

Trade Ovechkin? It May Come to That

23 December, 2007

The Comcast broadcast booth discussion last night of Mike Cammalleri’s game — Coach Boudreau informing JoeB and Craig that the gifted LA Kings’ pivot was, after Ovechkin, the most gifted hockey player he’d seen up close (Boudreau coached him in Manchester) — was interesting to me, to say the least.
The Kings have a wealth of [...]

Rinkside View

14 November, 2007

Something very cool is happening at the Honda Center in Aneheim. The FSN West feed on NHL Center Ice is showing the LA Kings / Anaheim Ducks game. That’s normal. What isn’t is that there are no announcers. Just the sounds of the game and the crowd. Oh, and all the camera angles are from [...]

More Hockey & Heels

In February, the Caps hosted a “Hockey ‘n Heels” night for female fans. (You can read my recap here.) Last Saturday, the Kings hosted their own “Hockey & High Heels” event. CKim and kms2 from Purple Crushed Velvet attended the event, and CKim had this to say about it:
