Having said that, there are two teams I follow with closer attention than others. The Boston Bruins in [...]

Top 10 Hockey Enforcers of the Decade

December 20, 2009

As the end of the decade approaches there are a million different "Top…" lists floating around the web. The Ref and I have been heavily debating the Top 50 Comedies of the 00’s and we both agree Stepbrothers is getting royally shafted. Naturally, The Hangover is coming in tops on a lot of lists. [...]

I’ve Been Had

August 22, 2009

The Lowell Devils get me every year. Last season they promised they’d be more up tempo, and tough…not your father’s Lowell Devils I believe was the quote. They were up tempo and decent. On Opening Night. This season, it is the press release I saw today where the Devils have signed AHL tough guy Louis [...]

I hate to do it….

June 19, 2009

It’s been killing me to have to write something positive about the New Jersey Devils, but here goes. The Devils have resigned one of my favorite tough guys, Pierre-Luc Letourneau-LeBlond. PL3 as he’s known to his friends was one of the only reasons to watch the perennially dreadful Lowell Devils last season. He and Matthew [...]

Goonblog Road Trip

April 7, 2009

George and I had very little to do yesterday. Well, actually, that’s kind of a blanket statement. Anyway, we decided to use the Flex Tickets we get as part of our Bruins Season Tickets and take the boys down to the all new look Dunkin Donuts center for the Baby B’s tilt against the Manchester [...]

Rene Rancourt Spurs the Bruins to Victory! 03/22/09

March 24, 2009

The Goons were in attendance Sunday afternoon as the Bruins won the division and sent the Devils home with just a little egg on their face. We’re convinced that Rene Rancourt was single-handedly responsible. Watch him gently rock all 16,000 of us.

Call off the Search. It’s Hockey Week in Acton!

February 28, 2009

What would you believe as a plausible answer for where I have been since my last post?
1. On a whirlwind hockey adventure in which I saw parts of 12 games?
2. Starring as Kenickie in a production of Grease on Ice?
3. Drunk in a bar?
4. Jail?
5. Getting drunk in a bar, after being released from Jail?
Which one was the least believable? [...]

New Favorite

February 15, 2009

Thank you to everyone for the comments on my last post. It’s good to know people are still reading the blog. As such, I thought this was a good time to introduce one of my favorite new enforcers. If I may borrow Dave’s Don Cherry impersonation for a moment (Happy 75th Grapes) gotta tell ya. [...]

The fights stay in the Picture

February 8, 2009

For whatever reason, whenever there is a holiday on a Monday, my Hockey News gets all messed up. As such, I got two issues on the same day last week. No, wait, three. Anyway, one of them was the debate on fighting, and where it has a place in the game of hockey. I read [...]

Goonblog Book Club

January 13, 2009

Guys, I think we should start our own Goonblog book club eh? First we have Howard Shapiro’s excellent “Hockey Player for Life”. Of course there is “The Code”, and now from my good buddy Ken Babbitt comes “The Face of Toughness,” a 40 page book told mostly in photos on some of the toughest AHL [...]
