All This Winning Makes Me Want My Old MTV

30 January, 2010

I Love the ’80s!
That’s where we are with our very winning hockey team here; forget about Members Only jackets, we’re now all the way back to Martha Quinn! Martha Quinn? Oh, yes, the siren of my very hormonally imbalanced adolescence. (And she had a lot to do with that.) Only the greatest, cutest MTV VJ [...]

Thoughts on Our Natural Enemy

21 January, 2010

Across much hockey media today there permeates the view that tonight’s Caps’ game in Pittsburgh affords the visitors an opportunity for revenge for last season’s seven-game defeat in the Eastern conference semifinals. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Examiner’s Brian McNally gets it right in his file this morning: 

“The Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins will play [...]

Mes Amis, Let Us Contract and Realign!

11 December, 2009

A few of our readers yesterday thought us advocates for General Sherman’s re-entry into, and reigniting of, Atlanta. Not true. We only want the rink there burned down. The good news is that were you to do that on a game night no one would get hurt.
Jokes, people, jokes.

A Warrior's Will Wins It

18 November, 2009

“Tremendous intensity to this game, right from the start,” Versus’ Joe Micheletti informed viewers. I remind: once upon a time this was a Patrick division rivalry game. And the intensity was not unlike what we saw twice earlier on Versus this season, in games against Philly, another Patrick division alum. The weekend before last, during a home-and-home [...]

These Are Not Your Father's Capitals

17 October, 2008

Among the many marvelous associations we’ll reminisce about from Thursday night, October 16, 2008, years from now, let romance be ascendant. At the Capitol Hill game-watch gathering I attended married women fell into my embrace moments after Michael Nylander’s game-tying goal, and lingered there. Not-so-Platonic kissing accompanied Boyd Gordon’s game-winner.
This was a 10 o’clock hour [...]

It's Time To Realign and Bring Back the Heat Among Hated Rivals

9 June, 2008

I have six principles guiding a much-needed, rigorous realignment of NHL teams for the 2009-10 season. They are:
(1) There is widespread support among general managers, owners, players, media, the presidential candidates, and hockey fans to have the Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby rivalry, such as it is, coronated formally in a [...]
