Shaone Morrisonn on Sidney, Visiting Buffalo in Winter

1 March, 2010

We’ve been impressed all season long with the commitment of local radio the Fan 106.7 to covering hockey, and doing so enthusiastically, and their on-air personalities were at it again in evening drive today. Holden Kushner had all of the callers to his program first affirm their hatred of Sidney Crosby before moving on to [...]

Alan May Makes Radio Waves

2 February, 2010

In his enforcer’s treatment of Comcast Sportsnet Capitals’ commentator Alan May today, Greg Wyshynski begins with a powerful and, in our judgment, accurate overview of the big-picture media climate for hockey in the nation’s capital:
“There is a persecution complex the size of the National Mall that hovers around the Washington Capitals when it comes to [...]

A Warm Voice from ‘84 Makes a Reminiscing Return

1 February, 2010

It was wonderful seeing Ron Weber seated way up high in Verizon Center Sunday afternoon, headset on, mouth moving before a radio microphone with a sheet of ice below him. He joined Jonathon Warner during Federal News Radio’s Capitals’ pre-game program, and he had clutched in his hands a copy of the gamesheet from February [...]

For Those Who Still Rock, We Salute You

16 November, 2008

One of the best hockey arena songs ever written is now 18 years old: “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC. 1990’s The Razors Edge yielded the aforementioned classic along with “Moneytalks” and the album’s dark, driving title track; it’s an uneven album, but it is “Thunderstruck” that hockey fans who weren’t yet born when it was recorded know [...]

In The Zambonis We Trust

12 October, 2008

Given the uncertain economic climate, I’ve been looking for somewhere safe to put my money. After watching XM’s NHL Live on the NHL Network on Friday night, I found it. Apparently The Zambonis are branching out into the world of finance. What could be better than a bank that features all hockey [...]
