The Ref

Goonblog Bringing the Noise

May 3, 2010

As I sit here in the office, in what feels like 95% humidity regarding the storm clouds threatening rain and looking at the Scarlet Tanager in my back yard, I can only think of one thing. Hockey. Granted that can be said of pretty much everything I do, but today as I sit and enjoy [...]

Video Proof: Sean Avery is a Punk.

April 5, 2009

Thanks for the Post Ref! I was at the game yesterday, so I didn’t get the benefit of hearing what Brick and Jack had to say about this. I gotta tell you, I totally agree with Andy Brickley on this one. I have no problem with players being a pest. What I take issue with [...]

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.

Canada Day, Up Canada Way

July 1, 2008

Hockey is not just the national pastime and passion, it’s the embodiment of Canadian values. It’s about work ethic, team play, physical conditioning and mental toughness. It’s also about knowing when to leave all of that on the ice and move on. – Dave Burwick
A very happy Canada Day to you all from the shores [...]

Just Don’t Kill Ray Bourque

May 30, 2007

I know we’re in the middle of the playoffs and everything, but I need to share. A funny thing happened on the way to Canada a couple of weeks ago. I just moved up here permanently from Boston’s North End, and to the uninitiated it’s a heck of a tough neighborhood to maneuver anything resembling [...]

Turning Over a New Maple Leaf

January 5, 2007

Early January tends to bring out the remorse in people. “I’m going to quit drinking so much on Tuesdays. I’m going to start going to the gym to exercise, and not just have a wank in the locker room. I’m going to let my wife leave the house to vote”. But the repentance and apologetic [...]

A Letter to Gary Bettman. But Who’s Bitter?

October 24, 2006

This came in via our MySpace profile from a reader called RunninAmok. We’ve met many great hockey fan folk through the MS network, and if you haven’t made friends with us yet please do so. 206 friends and counting!

The Podcast Cometh

September 26, 2006

This Saturday your beloved GoonSquad will be returning to fighting form and attending the Bruins/Ranger game at the Garden. To say that we’re excited about hockey’s return would be an understatement. To say I’m excited about having Jalepno poppers at Sports Grill beforehand would be a gross understatement. Very gross. Regardless, Colton Orr will be [...]

A Time Capsule Full of Goons.

July 22, 2006

During the off-season it’s tough to sit down and find something to write about every day. Come to think of it, that’s a challenge for us even in the middle of the schedule – so now we’re really fucked. I found a prehistoric (1993) University of Chicago student goon site that I’m shocked [...]
