Turn out the Lights

October 16, 2011

Finally the Bruins have gotten on the board with a fight last night in Chicago. Nice work by Gregory Campbell to try to spark the boys. Not much of a scrap, but good on Soupy to get it started. The fight I wanted to talk about happened Thursday between Pittsburgh’s Arron Asham, and Washington’s Jay [...]

Turning the Page

October 8, 2011

We are now 9 games into the NHL season, and there has been a total of 1 fight. One. Uno. That’s not a lot. It was a decent scrap in yesterday afternoon’s contest between LA’s Kyle Clifford, and the Rangers Brandon Prust. I am not here to offer any analysis on why there has only [...]

Michael P. Russell 1975-2011

September 28, 2011

Well, I hate to do it again with the bad news about a hockey player dying, but here we go. An old friend of mine from way back in the day was killed in a car accident last Saturday night. Of all the deaths over this summer, the death of Mike Russell hits the hardest. [...]

You Will Respect My Authority!

September 24, 2011

Alrighty! Let’s put the negativity of the summer and my last two posts behind us shall we? Why? Its back. Hockey is back! NHL Network has been showing a couple of preseason games a night, and it’s great to see their commitment to the pre- season. It was also great to see Kathryn Tappen in [...]

Beginning of the End of Fighting in the NHL?

September 17, 2011

I really don’t want this to come across as cold, and selfish, but does anyone else worry that the recent deaths of enforcers in the NHL will have negative ramifications on the ice? The harsh reality is that we live in a world of knee jerk reactions. Someone gets killed on a road; speed bumps [...]

Saying Goodbye to Summer 2011

September 14, 2011

With the good news of today being Brad Marchand has sobered up enough to put his name on a very shrewd deal from the Bruins, and the even better news that hockey is indeed right around the corner, I’d be remiss if I didn’t touch on just how awful the 2011 off-season was. What started [...]

No Skin Left to Pinch

June 24, 2011

For the past 8 days, I’ve felt a little like Billy Guerin in the “History Will be Made” commercials they showed during the playoffs. I’m totally speechless. The Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup. Holy shit! They won the Stanley Cup. I was alive to see it. I saw it with my own eyes. When [...]

T’was the Night Before Stanley

June 14, 2011

Here I sit in the dark, staring at this blinking cursor in disbelief. My new daughter, Caroline, is out cold – dreaming of ripping a wicked wrister top drawer to win an Olympic Gold Medal. MOL is dreaming of the day when I no longer look like a crazy Amish hockey fan exiled from the [...]

STILL Believe in the Bruins

June 12, 2011

Gee whiz, this bandwagon is getting a lot easier to steer with all these people jumping off. For those of you that remain, please get comfortable. You are in for a great ending! For those of you that jumped off, enjoy the Red Sox or whatever the hell else there is going on in Boston [...]

Have Faith in the Bruins

June 8, 2011

Ever since the Bruins fell down 0-2 to the Montreal Canadiens in the first round, I have been telling anyone who will listen, and those that won’t listen, to keep the faith. Believe in this team. There is something special on the ice in Boston, there just needs to be belief from a fan’s perspective [...]
