Reviewing Reviews

February 18, 2007

I caught myself watching the Bruins game last night and they looked decent. 52 seconds left in the 2nd and what seemed like a great save by Thomas, game continues and period ends, right……wrong.

February 16, 2007

A little over a year ago I wrote this little piece. For those of you not inclined to re read it, I will re hash. Last season Keith Aucoin almost started a brawl, and got his fucking head kicked in for being a smart mouth. I don’t like Aucoin, never have. He is mouthy and [...]

What Role Does Fighting Have in the New NHL?

February 15, 2007

How many times do we have to listen to that question? Look at the NBA, MLB, NFL and hell even NASCAR for all you gear heads out there, you fight you are suspended and or fined large amounts of $$$. Some examples include Carmelo Anthony hitting some punk from the Knicks with his purse and [...]

Super Sunday

February 5, 2007

This season marks year three of Goonblog HQ being wired for the NHL Center Ice Package. I had it the year before the lockout, and the two seasons since. In each of the three I have had it; I have sort of adopted a team I watch if the beloved Bruins aren’t playing. I don’t [...]
