And Yabo Makes Three

July 25, 2010

It’s decided. The 2010 Center Ice Team for me is the New York Islanders. I can’t say I’ve ever decided on a team this early, but with the addition of the uber scary Jeremy Yablonski to an already formidable line up of goons, I’m there. Yablonski will probably be assigned to Bridgeport, but it’d be [...]

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 [...]

To trade, or Not to Trade

June 29, 2010

The NHL Draft was held Friday night, or as I like to call it, the Bruins will take another center party, and the Bruins took a lot of centers. One of them could be the future cornerstone of the franchise, Tyler Seguin, and another is probably being stalked by The Ref as we speak. Apparently [...]

Trevor being Trevor

April 17, 2010

For those of you that were working yesterday and not scouring the internet for enforcer news (you’re welcome by the way) it seems Goonblog favorite, Trevor Gillies has been rewarded with a one year pact with the Islanders. I have been a big fan of the Gill-Man since his days with the Worcester Icecats, and [...]

Gillies vs. Orr I

March 14, 2010

It is with the nerves of an expectant father that I am watching the clock today. MOL has been given the television until 5, and she is welcome to stay and watch as the Islanders and Maple Leafs square off. I think if Trevor Gillies does dress today, there is no way he and Colton [...]

Good Luck, Trevor!

January 30, 2010

The Bruins lost 2-1 last night, and other than the fact they couldn’t stay out o the box, and couldn’t finish their chances per usual, I think it was the best game compete level wise in quite some time. Here’s hoping they can replicate the effort from last night, and put a couple more past [...]

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. [...]

New England Rivalry

August 29, 2009

I wrote a little while ago how the NHL signing period works. Typically the top flight talent goes, then, people to protect the top flight talent get signed. That’s where we are now, and the Springfield Falcons added a big protector in Kip Brennan yesterday.
Kip was a Lowell Lockmonster back when he still had [...]

Will Work for Cake

July 13, 2009

Typically when the NHL free agent period begins teams load up on the guys that help them win by scoring, stopping, or defending. Then as the period goes on, they load up on guys that protect the scorers, stoppers, and defenders by signing the beloved tough guys. These guys are every bit as important to [...]

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 [...]
