The Flyers Sell Out
The Flyers fanbase is in interesting bunch. They are highly devoted, even though they are pretty much scattered across the entire continent, or my case even the globe. They are pretty much the direct opposite of bandwagoners. On their most recent road swing of six games, the Flyers sold out e...

During the first period, the Ducks score on the powerplay. The second period, the Kings score on the powerplay. The third period, the Ducks score on the powerplay. Can't both team score on 5 on 5?

It's-A-Stormin' In Buffalo: "L.A. Misses Home Already"

I want my Kyle Quincey :)
Still, I don't think anyone realized quite the extent of Quincey's skill-set until now. He's now the most reliable D-man on the Kings at a plus seven and is logging mucho time in all situations for Terry Murray. Sometimes there just isn't enough light available for certain hidden gems to shi...

Never Mind The Hockey, Here's The Sloppy Seconds
In other news that I am slow to get on, the Leafs have a new Gee-Em in office. And if I may borrow a phrase from Mr. Avery here… what is with Toronto falling in love with all of California hockey’s sloppy seconds? Brian Burke of Anaheim-Ducks-Stanley-Cup-07-fame joins long time frenemy Ron Wil...

Bombs Over ACC
We solved the “youth problem” by adding Luke Schenn the former Kelowna Rocket who is I guess is supposed to be the Leafs answer to Steven Stamkos, P-Kane, Jonathan Toews, Drew Doughty, Zach Bogosian and other (well deserving) teenage first rounders that every team seems to have on their r...

Gillis Plays the Waiting Game At the Expense of the Fans
Vancouver Canucks "new" GM, Mike Gillis says, and I quote, he will wait until well into November if necessary to get the right player trade if Mats Sundin continues to be unsure if he will continue his NHL career. First of all, give up on Sundin. I mean, this was a stupid plan in the first place. Ma...

Bird Watching
The buzzer of the final game of his WHL season had hardly sounded when right winger *Bud Holloway* kicked off the T-bird signing frenzy by signing with *LA Kings* AHL affiliate, *Manchester Monarchs* and joined the team for the Calder Cup playoffs. A mere week later, Mr. Holloway signed a 3-...

FORTUNATELY/UNFORTUNATELY
Fortunately he signed with the Colorado Avalanche, who are tops on my list after dropping Jose Theodore like a puck on opening night. Fortunately last season’s D students, Tampa Bay Lightning and Chicago Blackhawks have beefed up their rosters significantly.

Sidney Crosby – Respected or Hated?
All the hype about the ‘next one’, the player who is the apparent heir to Wayne Gretzky’s throne. The Captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins looks to lead his team to Stanley Cup glory just like Mario Lemieux before him 17 years ago. It’s rare that a player of such a young age can possess those kind o...
