Eastern Conference Staying Gooney

July 11, 2010

The NHL free agency period has been open for 11 days now, and there has been some movement by teams looking to get tougher or stay tough that I have found interesting. Sure there are some serious players left unsigned, but I’d rather know where Derek Boogaard is playing over some guy named Kovulchuk [...]

Boston. The new Whoville.

June 23, 2010

It would appear Christmas has come roughly six months early this year for Boston Bruins fans! PC and the Crew (sounds like an early 90’s boy band) swung a lovely deal yesterday sending the poster boy for the Bruins woes, Dennis Wideman, the 15th overall pick this year, and another pick in 2011 to the [...]

Good News. A Headshot Rule….Next Year.

March 10, 2010

One of Goonblog’s biggest fans called me last night, and made an excellent point. To paraphrase, and cut out the profanity, Taz brought up the notion that the NHL GM’s shouldn’t need to come up with a new rule regarding head shots after the Matt Cooke pasting of Marc Savard, they simply need to get [...]

Real Hockey is Back

March 6, 2010

Congratulations Canada, you barely beat America at the game you invented. No, I kid. I saw that on the site, Texts from Last Night. Go there for hilarity. For hockey hilarity, you stay here. Now then, Canada won gold last Sunday in a game I saw maybe 20 seconds of due to a prior engagement. [...]

I Smoked Pot with Charlie Dickens

October 6, 2009

If I may borrow a bit of old Charlie Dickens, this weekend was like the beginning of “A tale of Two Cities”, “It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.” I don’t want to get overly dramatic here, but it really was the best and worst of the Boston Bruins on [...]

Wake up Fans

October 1, 2009

In about 11 hours, the hibernation ends. That’s right; the beloved Boston Bruins are skating back onto the ice tonight at 7 PM against the dreaded Washington Capitals. Boston and Washington will both come into tonight’s opener with the weight of huge expectations on their shoulders after both lost out in the second round of [...]

Getting Closer

July 20, 2009

It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! The NHL announced the schedule for the 2009-2010 NHL season last Wednesday, and I for one, am more excited than Chris Nilan walking into the men’s swimsuit section to find the guard off getting a sandwich. I have gone over the schedule, and chosen a couple of games [...]

Free Agent Frenzy

July 5, 2009

I hope everyone is having a very Happy 4th of July, and Happy (belated) Canada Day to all the Goonsqud in the Great White North. So far free agency has been open for a couple of days. What has developed has been a new GM putting his mark on a franchise, another two or three [...]

Lucic Knows “The Code”

May 14, 2009

A direct quote by Milan Lucic, from the Hockey News who named him this year’s winner of the John Ferguson Award given to the NHL’s toughest player.
“I had to let him get his gloves off, and I caught him clean.”
What he is speaking of is the one punch he gave Mike Komisarek in game 4. [...]

They Poked the Bear

May 12, 2009

It is well documented, that I am not a bright man. Ask anyone. They’ll say, “Good guy. Not bright though.” Well, they might just say the not bright part. Point being, I am very confused as to why Scott Walker lowers the boom on Aaron Ward last night, and gets a $2500.00 fine. No suspension, [...]
