No Reason to Watch the Bruins

November 29, 2005

I think I am going to be sick. The Bruins placed Colton Orr on waivers today. Mini Me O’Connell says he just isn’t needed. Boston has a very long and storied history of treating people poorly. One needs only to look back to the treatment of PJ Stock. Stock, a fan favorite, ne, a cult [...]

Make up your Mind Dude!

November 29, 2005

My liver is glad Thanksgiving is over. I ate too much, and drank way too much over the past couple of days. I hope everyone had a good Turkey Lurkey Day!
I was on my way to the Betty Ford Clinic, when I happened upon this article from ESPN. I didn’t see the game so I [...]

Give Thanks For The Goons

November 24, 2005

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am a very thankful man. As you sit to break bread and give thanks with family and friends today, I invite you to think about some things you might be thankful for. For instance:
I am thankful there are still players like Trevor Gillies out there. He’s a young kid just trying [...]

I’m Going to the Show!

November 20, 2005

I had planned a fun filled evening of answering MOL’s questions about Thanksgiving during the Bruins game tonight, but I just got the call from Dave. We’ll be in the house for the Bruins game tonight as they host the Sabres.
This is what I missed about the NHL being gone. Getting the call late [...]

Cam Janssen Suspended

November 19, 2005

He’s not playing, he’s suspended!
I can see the stick boy in Slap Shot now. It seems the AHL got a tape of the hit Cam Janssen put on Mitch Love Wednesday night, and have handed him a two game suspension for his actions.
Janssen and Gladiator Runner up Mike Sgroi were trying all night to [...]

Martin Grenier: Busy Brawler

November 14, 2005

The Goonsquad was well represented in Lowell Saturday night, as Dave (on his maiden voyage to the Paul) and myself were in the house for a thrilling 4-2 shootout win by the hometown Lockmonsters over the dreaded Wolf Pack of Hartford. I think Dave has some good pictures to post later. Naturally his camera didn’t [...]

Lowell Lock Monsters’ Hat Trick Guarantee!

November 12, 2005

It’s going to be a hot time in the old town tonight. The Lock Monsters take on the Hartford Wolf Pack in Lowell, and the game has an added air of excitement to it as the result of a rather bold claim:
"A Monster will score three, or the next home game is free!  The Lock [...]

NHL Rivalries – Senators and Bruins

November 12, 2005

Happy Veterans Day everyone. If you are a Veteran, I would like to say thank you. If you know a Veteran, please be sure to call them and say thanks today. They do so much for us, and don’t get the kind of coverage in a positive light as they should. They are the world’s [...]

Remembering The Joe Turners

November 11, 2005

Today is Remembrance Day, and although I do have to get to work, I at least feel somewhat less guilty about blogging during office hours in this instance. Especially since I’m going to talk about a related subject – how World War II affected the AHL, NHL - and more importantly the players of the day [...]
