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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

OMG, A new Gooblog Post!?

October 30, 2010

I’m back! Like the bad penny you can’t shake, or the burning pee you may have picked up on shore leave in the Dutch West Indies, I am back. For those of you that noticed, and have been wondering where I am thank you for the concern. All is well; I just had a major [...]

Quiet group hug for Savvy.

September 25, 2010

When last we met, dear reader, I was asking for everyone’s help. Marc Savard was in dire need of a group hug from the Goonblog community, and I think he got it. Ready to move on with the season we gave Savvy his hug and went about our daily business. Well, now it seems you [...]
