The old barn they used to call the Civic Arena and more recently Mellon Arena had the curtains drawn on it's final NHL game last night. The storybook season for the Montreal Canadiens continued at the expense of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hats off to Montreal for their imporbable Stanley Cup run. The scary part is the way they are playing they could ( Read more... )

This is mainly going to be for me to look back on as a reference point for what happened at this juncture of the NHL playoffs. That being said, if your not into sports or more aptly hockey, by all means move along because there is nothing here for you. Also I'm feeling to lazy to put this under a cut so....oh well ( Read more... )

I've grown to like the Atlanta Thrashers since moving here to Georgia. I've been here for just over a decade now and not along after moving here I kept up with the goings on with the Thrashers. I wondered a few years in why ownership kept Dandy Don (Atlanta's GM) around. I mean at that point there was no real marked improvement and now after being ( Read more... )

Even the though the Cottonmouths lost in OT to the Pensacola Ice Flyers, I don't think regular goalie Ryan Scott who was on the bench/playing doorman for teammates, will forget the fans in the first three rows next to the Ice Flyers bench anytime soon. We rode him in between action all game long. At one point one of the fans behind us asked him "If ( Read more... )

I never minded researching stuff. I do it before making a major purchase. I did for my papers back in college. Some people hate it, I don't mind it one bit. That brings me to my latest research project. The SPHL or Southern Professional Hockey League. The SPHL is the league in which the Columbus Cottonmouths play and tonight's game is against the ( Read more... )

Okay, so Alexander Ovechkin scores his fiftieth goal of the season and drops his stick to the ice and then acts like he can't pick it up because it's to hot. Where is the fuggin problem? Don Cherry is an A O hater, so he doesn't count. I don't think it was an excessive celebration at all. It's just one person who really digs playing the game having ( Read more... )

Looking back on the NHL trade deadline, I have to say the Pittsburgh Penguins came away a better team. Adding Billy Guerin will help the rest of the way and should solidify the playoff picture for them. The Chris Kunitz deal last week was even better. A month ago, things were looking pretty shitty overall for the Pens. Now, not so much. Penguin GM ( Read more... )

I think a Penguin bomb went off at Mellon Arena last night. How else can you describe the ass stomping the Pens gave the Islanders. 9-2 for fucks sake. Stevie Wonder could have played in goal and stopped more shots than the goalie for the Islanders. It sort of makes the Denis Potvin, Mike Bossy years, seem even more long ago. Heh ( Read more... )

Now that the Atlanta Thrashers have sunk to last place overall, it might time for a shake up. I have the perfect remedy. Now I must add that it involves two of my favorite teams. The Pittsburgh Penguins and the same last place Atlanta Thrashers. The Penguins who would love to have that coveted scoring winger and would receive Ilya Kovalchuk for: ( Read more... )

Goligoski had a touch of the awesome when he scored in the shoot out to beat the Philthydelphia Flyers last night. Makes me want to watch one of my favorite videos.......
