A Forgotten Miracle Comes to Artistic Life

24 November, 2009

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 [...]

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 [...]

Bonzai on Semin: Good Things Are Coming, Keep Waiting

16 November, 2009

Put Peter Bondra in the pro-Alex Semin camp. I had a chance to chat with #12 during Friday night’s 3-1 win over the Wild, and when I asked him how he’d go about coaching the enigmatic winger, how he’d address Semin’s conspicuous inconsistency, the general manager of the Slovakian national team emphasized that he’s seeing significant maturation [...]

A Welcomed New Link Between Washington and Hershey

15 November, 2009

This past weekend marked a broadcast first for hockey in Washington: the execution of virtual real-time audio swaps between Federal News Radio 1500, the local radio carrier of the Caps, and John Walton’s calls of the Hershey Bears, which Washington hockey fans can hear on SportsJuice.com. On Friday night, while the Bears were beating Norfolk [...]

An Early Holiday Gift

15 November, 2009

pucksandbooks suggested yesterday that Caps’ fans in some number would ask Santa for a Mathieu Perreault sweater under the Christmas tree this year.

14 November, 2009

Verizon Center had a new and novel synergy within its passion Friday night. On a couple of occasions Mathieu Perreault was chased out of the faceoff circle, and the soldout rink booed its displeasure. When the puck was on Perreault’s stick shouts of “Let’s go Matty!” could be heard from varying corners and levels of the rink. And [...]
