Birthday Tackle

However, today is Dominik Hasek’s 44th birthday, and I couldn’t leave him out just because I’m busy.  So I give you one of my favorite clips of [...]

It’s All-Star Weekend!!

A couple of weeks ago, I was all set to boycott this year’s All Star Game.  The absolute joke that it had become pissed me off beyond hell.  I wasn’t going to watch, I had a nasty email almost done about what  disgrace the NHL had allowed to go on, with the Montreal fans installing [...]

Crosby the Coward

Dear Gary Bettman,
The last time I checked, you can’t do this in the National Hockey League:
