I saw this article on the NHL’s website, and I wanted to pass it on. Along with being a pretty tough customer, Mike Commodore is as advertised in the article, a super nice guy. Last season at the end of the year party for the Lockmonsters he and I shared more than a few beers. He was very open about the lockout at the time, and was willing to talk hockey, or anything else. I have a lot of respect for a kid that can realize he needs to improve his game, and then goes out and does it. Check it out. It’s a pretty good read.

Best DeNiro Voice: I heard Things
For those of you that have been following Goonblog for a while now, you know I follow hockey pretty closely. That is to say, I am slightly obsessed with it. OK, fine, it's my reason for being. Having said that, there are two teams I follow with closer attention than others. The Boston Bruins in the NHL, and the AHL Lowell Devils. I haven't followed the Devils as much in the last couple of years because I hate the Devils, and they seemed to have sucked the fun out of the Tsongas Center in a manne...
I've Been Had
The Lowell Devils get me every year. Last season they promised they'd be more up tempo, and toughnot your father's Lowell Devils I believe was the quote. They were up tempo and decent.

Louis Robitaille should be no stranger to Lowell hockey fans going back to the Lockmonster days. He was part of the three headed monster that was Mad Mel Angelstad, Louis...
I hate to do it....
It's been killing me to have to write something positive about the New Jersey Devils, but here goes. The Devils have resigned one of my favorite tough guys, Pierre-Luc Letourneau-LeBlond. PL3 as he's known to his friends was one of the only reasons to watch the perennially dreadful Lowell Devils last season. He and Matthew Corrente appeared to be the only ones willing to drop the mitts, with PL3 taking on some serious customers. I've seen him get his blocked knocked off by Brad Staubitz, and I'v...
Goonblog Road Trip
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 Monarchs.
I hadn't been there since MOL and I braved a blizzard when she was supposed to be doing homework to see Trevor Gillies in action when he was with the Springfield Falcons. The building has been...
Rene Rancourt Spurs the Bruins to Victory! 03/22/09
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.
