Hockey Gladiators

August 31, 2005

When this tourney was first announced, I thought it would be a great idea. Who [...]

August 31, 2005

Sometimes when the boys drop the mitts and square off, it’s Shakespearean in scope – a chivalrous enforcer coming to the aid of an abused teammate. But as we all know, sometimes the goonery can be malicious, nasty and unwarranted. CBC Sports recently ranked their 10 most noteable dispicable hockey hits:

#1 Retaliatory hit begets All-Star Game
#2 [...]

Enforcersaurus?

August 29, 2005

After a very rough Friday night, I read a very interesting article on ESPN.com written by Scott Burnside. I think Mr. Burnside makes a few good points regarding enforcers’ roles in the new NHL. It has been my fear that with the new CBA, roster spots are going to be a lot more valuable then [...]

Is Boston Ready For The Bruins?

August 28, 2005

My friends and I have been discussing at length our predictions for the NHL’s return to North Station. It’s obviously been an incredible year for sports in this city. Will Hockey return with a slapshot, or be overshadowed by home runs and field goals? Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs is beyond optimistic: "We are looking at increased [...]

Ducks Making Moves

August 26, 2005

Well, I was thinking Trevor Gillies might get a shot in Anaheim, but it looks like he’s going to have to compete with Kip Brennan now.  I was thinking that with Gillies getting dealt out there earlier in the week, they were going to roll the dice on Trevor being able to stay at the [...]

Breaking News

August 24, 2005

Well, it looks like the Gillies Brothers won’t get a chance to play together after all. Trevor got dealt to the Ducks today. If he stays in Portland, and I suspect he will, we Lowell fans will still get to see him in action. Trevor is a good kid, and I hope he cracks the [...]

PJ Stock – Ass Kicker

August 24, 2005

Rough weekend boys. Friday I went to dinner and drank too much, Saturday me and MOL went to the Peelers, and drank too much. Sunday was the Crue at Verizon. I tried to drink too much, but the brew was shut off right as soon as the show started. Makes sense with Motley Crue I [...]

The Gillies Brothers

August 19, 2005

I wonder if Trevor and Nathan Gillies are going to have to fight each other in camp? I saw Nathan in Danbury last year when he was with Elmira. He’s not a bad hockey player at all. I think he has more hockey skill than Trevor does, or ever will for that matter, but you [...]
