The Vindication Games for Ron Wilson

27 February, 2010

Perhaps you recall, as I did, the near universal reaction to the announcement of Ron Wilson as head coach of the 2010 United States Olympic hockey team last April: a collective yawn. By the spring of 2009 Wilson had accumulated a Larry Brown-like pedigree of mediocre coaching journeyman, as well as perceived failure with  talented [...]

Gold Medal Girls Gone Wild

26 February, 2010

Your team just won the gold medal in hockey. What do you do? You guzzle crap beer and try to drive a Zamboni, of course! Sounds like fun to me (except for the crap beer part; it’s gotta be the good stuff). However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was not amused and wants an explanation.

Have the Admin Asst. Hold Yours Calls — Hockey’s on All Day

24 February, 2010

Around 10:30 I’ll begin following John Walton’s online call of the Hershey Bears’ schoolday game in Cleveland against the Lake Erie Monsters, a rematch of last Saturday’s 4-1 Bears’ triumph. The American League, to its credit, schedules a handful of these mid-morning [...]

A Miracle Acknowledged by Today’s American Hockey Stars

22 February, 2010

Up in Hershey this past weekend our blogger colleague Eric McErlain of Off Wing Opinion  joined us in a patriotic questioning of the Hershey Bears’ John Carlson. Carlson of course etched his name in American hockey lore last month, sudden-death silencing Canadians in Saskatoon and delivering the American Under-20 team gold. With the arrival of [...]

Maybe . . . Just Maybe . . . NBC Wishes It Had Run Hockey Last Night

22 February, 2010

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 [...]
