Meeting Lord Stanley

October 4, 2011

Yesterday was one of the coolest and hardest days of my life. We’ll get to the cool part, but first the hard part. The cool part is worth the wait. Trust me. So, the hard part. Mike Russell’s wake. It was hands down, the hardest wake I have ever gone to in my whole life, [...]

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. [...]

Chris is a Father!

March 1, 2011

We’ve had writing downtime on GoonBlog.com before. We’ve had lapses. Heck, there may even have been a little honest-to-goodness slacking off. This season, however, we’ve been more than a little quiet and – as he’s likely knee deep in greenish shit at the moment – I wanted to let the faithful know where Chris has [...]

Islanders 4th Tough Guy?

July 27, 2010

I love it. Sometimes you have to defend yourself. What’s up with the bigger guy? He looks like Ned Braden refusing Reg’s orders to scrap! With the Islanders loading up, maybe they want to take this kid too!

Congratulations, Mr. Judd

June 6, 2010

It’s been a very busy week for me since returning from Indianapolis, and the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500. I will spare the gory details, but it’s nice to have a few minutes to sit down and bang this out. Let’s get right to it, shall we? The word I would use to describe [...]

My Money is in my Other Pants

August 9, 2009

I am a reasonably smart man. OK, I am kind of smart…..fine…I am a man. Ooooo shiny….Anyway, what I can’t figure out for the life of me, is why the NHL is so vehemently against Jim Balsillie owning a NHL franchise. Craig Leipold, a man who himself was forced out of NHL ownership in Nashville, [...]

Am I a Meat Slapper?

January 19, 2009

It is official. I am a meat slapper. I bought a Bruins third jersey last night at Sports Authority. I have been debating if I should get one since they came out. On the one hand, I strongly believe that jerseys are for meat slappers, and kids. On the other, I really like the Bruins [...]

Happy New Year!

January 3, 2009

Good day, and like, Happy New Year eh? Without turning this into a Shecky Greene show, I’d like to say, boy am I glad the holidays are over. Not so much because I was overly busy doing a lot of holiday partying or anything, but I swear to God they started in with the Christmas [...]

Happy Boxing Day

December 27, 2008

Happy Boxing Day! My apologies for the long layoff. I have been on doggie duty for the last ten days. MOL has been working strange hours, and as such, I’ve had to take care of Milan Lucic. We’ve been watching a lot of hockey together, but when I try to use the computer all she [...]

Check Your List for Hockey Player for Life

November 10, 2008

I guess since Christmas music is on the radio before Thanksgiving is even here, I should tell you what I am asking MOL to get me for Christmas. She wants a cocktail ring, which I guess is a ring for her right hand? I may go Homer Simpson on her and get her an onion [...]
