Paul Romanuk is the worst play-by-play caller in the league. It is easy to mix players up on occasion, and older folk often lose the puck, hell the younger ones do, too.   But Romanuk is a mess. I'm sure he is a great guy, though. No disrespect.   I feel like at least three [...]

Here are my favorite unrestricted free agents; Also thoughts on the Leafs…and more... *** Being a fan of the Leafs, I find that it's killed my sense of…I guess "hope" would be the best describer.

Ducks-Hawks Game 3, Anaheim's new D duo, Hossa and Babcock. *** Was it just me, or did the marathon Game 2 between Anaheim and Chicago return a killer hangover? Game 3 was sloppy, and while there were plenty of chances, the puck always seemed at odds with everyone. Honestly, at times my own head hurt [...]

Rangers-Lightning combine for 11 goals, Stamkos is just fine, Babcock to Toronto, and Blackhawks-Ducks Game 3.  **** Game 3 between the Lightning and the Rangers was one of the most entertaining yet these playoffs. Sometimes games are entertaining because they are goalie duels. Sometimes it’s for the physical nature. This game had two blown two-goal [...]
