Old Time Hockey

Just Like Old Times

February 17, 2008

During the lock out season the Lowell Lockmonsters were bringing a wagon. The roster was awesome, and they were a fun group of guys as well. Every one of those guys would say hello and share a minute of their time with you. Guys like Eric Staal, Chuck Kobasew, Matt Lombardi, and Mike Commodore. Oh, [...]

This is Big

January 19, 2008

Mother is in the living room putting the Christmas decorations away with the NHL Network on in the background. She’s getting around in the wheelchair pretty well, and the doctor said she could put 50% weight on her ankle, so she’s allowed to roll around and put her decorations away. I know they’ve been driving [...]

Two guys walk into a Bar…

November 28, 2007

This is a joke. The NHL suspended Scott Hartnell 2 games for hitting Andrew Alberts last night. Are you serious? Why even bother suspend him at all? Listen, the hit Randy Jones put on Patrice was bad, but it was a hockey play. He shouldn’t have hit Bergeron when his back was to him, but [...]

Gobble Gobble Goonblog

November 26, 2007

I am coming to you live from the new Goonblog HQ on the other side of Acton! MOL and I moved last weekend, and we finally got cable installed Friday morning. Manny and the boys hooked me up for my plasma with a brand new HDMI cable, so I am now actually getting real HD. [...]

Not My Captain

November 1, 2007

What a week eh? Patriots killed the Redskins, and the Red Sox won their second World Series in 3 years. It’s an incredible time to be a Boston sports fan. Unless of course, you are a Bruins fan. That’s not exactly true. The team is off to a surprisingly good start. They seem to be [...]

WWU V

October 28, 2007

Good week here at Goonblog HQ. I got to games Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Obviously there were no fights Wednesday and Saturday, duh, it was Lowell, but Thursday’s Bruins game was quite a different story. Bridget took me for my birthday and we had a great seat for the fight Bruins fans had been waiting [...]

Hockey Night in Acton

October 12, 2007

Last night was hockey night at Goonblog HQ. MOL was doing something in the other room, so I was in the living room drinking Miller Lite while watching several hockey games. It started with the first period of the Penguins and Montreal, and ended with the 8-2 drubbing by Philadelphia on the Canucks. Oh, by [...]

Admitting it is the first Step

July 6, 2007

I was born in late October of 1974. My father was a life long hockey fan, and is the man that first turned me on to the game. I remember watching games on Saturday afternoon with him; in fact, I can still hear Fred Cusik, saying, “Live, from Le Colisee in Quebec! It’s the Bruins [...]

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 [...]

Dice Who?

April 23, 2007

I would be willing to bet a large amount of money, that I am one of about 10, no, maybe 5, people in the Boston area watching Detroit and Calgary right now as opposed to Dice K and the Red Sox face the dreaded Yankme’s. I think it’s indicative of being a hockey fan in [...]
