By Special Request: Frog Pussy!

October 29, 2005

That one goes out to Janet, one of the Goonsquad members in the Garden last night. Apparently she hates Drouin as much as the Charlestown fan in the opening of the greatest movie of all time. If I may borrow from the immortal Nick Brophy, the Goonsquad got stinkin shitfaced on the bus last night. [...]

That’s Assistant Captain Trevor Gillies to you, Pal!

October 26, 2005

I saw on the Portland Pirates website, that Trevor Gillies will wear the A on the road. That means he will have to dress in Lowell, even if he has no one to fight. Another Portland piece of news. They have really good game photos here. There are a few good fight photos of the [...]

Lowell Lockmonsters vs. Albany River Rats

October 22, 2005

If I didn’t have a party to go to tomorrow, I would seriously consider making the two hour drive to Albany for tomorrow’s rematch between Albany and Lowell. After a very slow first period, there was plenty of excitement the rest of the way.
Lockmonster newcomer, Mitch Love (LOW), got the fireworks started early on in [...]

Alive and well in the AHL

October 18, 2005

I do not like the new NHL. I like the idea of what they are trying to do with the new rules, but it has been taken too far. I saw a penalty called last night during the Red Wings game, where an opponent lifted the other guy’s stick to take the puck on the [...]

Lockmonsters Meet the Monarchs

October 16, 2005

Ottawa really took it to the Bruins last night. As luck would have it, I missed the whole thing. After 4 straight days of not sleeping very much, and being exhausted from helping a buddy build a stone wall in the pouring rain, I had had it. I had every intention of watching the game, [...]

God Bless the Replay

October 14, 2005

I was having a lovely dinner tonight at 7:30ish, not really thinking about the Bruins game I was missing. The waitress had just dropped off another Belvedere and Tonic, when my cell phone rang. It was Tweener. Now, Tweener and I are really good buddies. We talk all the time, mostly about hockey, and specifically, [...]

A Long Winter Part Deux

October 11, 2005

Alright, maybe I misjudged Boston. They played their best game of the year last night against Tampa. I feel everyone played well in front of Rayzor, although he still did have to come up with some big saves he shouldn’t have to make. It’s early, but I think they may just be OK. Speaking of [...]

A Long Winter

October 8, 2005

The Bruins suck. They are not good. No life at all until the 3rd, when it was too late. I throw up my hands.
I did however catch the third period of the Blackhawks 6-3 rout of San Jose. There were three very entertaining fights starting at the 10 minute mark. First up was Matthew Barnaby [...]

Colton Orr, not related to Bobby

October 7, 2005

MOL and I took in the Bruins opener last night. We had to bite the bullet and grab some club seats. $155 a seat is a small price to pay after a year off. It was great to be back in the Garden. The place was jam packed, and for the most part, the fans [...]
