Lowell Devils

Best DeNiro Voice: I heard Things

April 3, 2010

For those of you that have been following Goonblog for a while now, you know I follow hockey pretty closely. That is to say, I am slightly obsessed with it. OK, fine, it’s my reason for being. Having said that, there are two teams I follow with closer attention than others. The Boston Bruins in [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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. [...]

Sid the Goon?

January 4, 2009

I heard on Versus the other night that fighting in the NHL is up 30% this season. I love that stat. It tells me the guys are starting to police themselves once again. After the lockout, I think a little snarl has been taken out of our beloved game. The NHL needs to stop pandering [...]

Milan and I love Old Time Hockey

December 14, 2008

It’s been a big hockey weekend so far. Last night Milan Lucic and I watched the Bruins game, and some of the Calgary game. Then Milan woke up at 7 AM, so I took her out for a walk (she was super good by the way) and came in the house to find Youngblood on [...]

Mission from God?

October 13, 2008

Remember the scene in the 1980 classic John Landis picture, “The Blues Brothers “when Jake and Elwood are being chased by the Good ol Boys leaving Bob’s Country Bunker? They go flying by the two Illinois State Troopers and their SCMODS they had previously eluded in their old Mount Prospect Police car. One Trooper turns [...]

R.I.P. Coach

September 29, 2008

I have an expression of sadness after hearing the news of player coach, and Charlestown Chief Legend, Reggie Dunlop’s passing. I found out yesterday while at a wedding in Vermont. (Congratulations Kyle and Jill. Thank you so much for having MOL and I.) Slap Shot is my all time favorite movie, as I’m sure it [...]

Mr. Excitment Reviews NHL ’09

September 16, 2008

Mr. Excitement is the nick name of one of the guys on my team at work. We are aptly called, The Radiators, because we are bringing the heat! Mr. Excitement like a lot of things, chief among them, video games. Oh and eating contests. Now seems like a good time to mention, Mr. Excitement ate [...]
