We’ve now survived a full two days without hockey. I’m already getting a bit zany (to the point that I may have made a 27 Dresses reference in this post). How the heck did we make it through an entire lockout? There has been a lot of talk that Los Angeles will run [...]

There was no hockey on last night. Which in most cases would stink. But seeing as I’ve developed a new found addiction to “Friday Night Lights” it wasn’t so bad. Yes, the show ended in 2011, but I just came across it on Netflix a couple weeks ago. Since then it’s been one ongoing [...]

How pumped is league brass for this Stanley Cup Final matchup? I mean, Los Angeles-New York. That’s their dream, right? The two biggest US markets. What a win for them. As I mentioned last week I had the Rangers at 20/1 to win the Cup. I hedged that basically as soon as I could. [...]

So the Final is set and although I think Los Angeles is the better team, I wonder how much the Kings have left after that unbelievable series with the Blackhawks. It almost reminds me of how Montreal looked in the Conference Finals against New York. They seemed to be running on empty after defeating the [...]

Make it 21 straight years with no Canadian Stanley Cup Champion. The Montreal Canadiens were eliminated last night in a game they very easily could have won had they capitalized on their early opportunities. I felt like the Canadiens owned the first period. They really had the look of the team that wouldn’t go [...]

Full marks to the Blackhawks and Canadiens for their resiliency. Both clubs ventured home down 3-1 and gritted out a win in a couple of wild affairs. In both games the home squads jumped out to early leads only to see them evaporate. I can only imagine how deflating it must be to earn [...]
