The Ref

Meeting Lord Stanley

October 4, 2011

Yesterday was one of the coolest and hardest days of my life. We’ll get to the cool part, but first the hard part. The cool part is worth the wait. Trust me. So, the hard part. Mike Russell’s wake. It was hands down, the hardest wake I have ever gone to in my whole life, [...]

Two Girls, No Cup

June 18, 2011

As seen at the Boston Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup victory parade currently taking place in… Boston, of all places: My brother-in-law took this a few minutes ago in Government Center. I have no idea who these gents are, and hopefully they won’t mind being featured front and center, but if I could I’d ask them [...]

You Stay Classy, Vancouver

June 16, 2011

And I truly mean that. I’m not gloating or otherwise being a dick. I have several friends who live in Vancouver and even a few who work for the Canucks. They’re all beyond embarrassed by the events of last night – and I’m not just talking about the 4-0 loss to the Bruins. Is that [...]

How (Wicked) Sweet It Is

June 15, 2011

I was born in 1973. I’m the same age as Tim Thomas. There hasn’t been a Bruins victory in the Stanley Cup Final since I was a pre-spermatozoa. An itch in my father’s pants, if you will. I’ll cut to the chase, as you’re either reading this tonight tired or tomorrow morning hungover – I [...]

The Great Wall of Thomas

June 15, 2011

32 seconds left in the 2nd period of Game 7, and this is what I came up with. What a game. Jesus, Mary and Joseph do I wish I were in Boston right now. Preferably on Canal Street.

Bruins Set a New NHL Playoff Record

June 13, 2011

The Boston Bruins just set a brand new Stanley Cup playoff record during the first period for the fastest 4 goals: 4:14 to be exact. Well done Marchand, Lucic, Ryder and Ference! Now please, boys – allow this penchant for easily manhandling Vancouver to survive the next 6 hour plane trip. The previous record was [...]

Home Ice Advantage Like You Read About

June 13, 2011

When the Boston Bruins have laced-up at home during these 2011 NHL playoffs they’ve been nearly unstoppable. Over this last week, during the final showdown with the Vancouver Canucks, their home ice advantage has risen even further – to the extent you may be tempted to replace the word “advantage” with “hate crime”. For Boston’s [...]

We Believe in the Boogeyman

May 15, 2011

He was the unlikeliest of sports heroes: A beloved hockey enforcer. The death of Derek Boogaard has left hockey saddened, shocked and full of questions. With the exception of at least a few of his 184 career fight opponents, and most certainly Todd Fedoruk and Trevor Gilles, the “Boogeyman” was well loved by players and [...]

Chris is a Father!

March 1, 2011

We’ve had writing downtime on GoonBlog.com before. We’ve had lapses. Heck, there may even have been a little honest-to-goodness slacking off. This season, however, we’ve been more than a little quiet and – as he’s likely knee deep in greenish shit at the moment – I wanted to let the faithful know where Chris has [...]
