Random Thoughts...Back Burner Rivalries and British Comedy
Posted 4:31 AM ET | Comments 7
I am a fan of a lot of British comedy. Basically, anything from Python, to Fawlty Towers to Eddie Izzard to Benny Hill. I nabbed a copy of " Shaun Of The Dead " on amazon.com for a dollar last week. Great bang for THAT buck. Anyhow....-Rivalries. They spur the emotions, and get a nice level of blood lust going for fans. One thing I am seeing more and more of is the back bu...

Around the Horn! Game 5 Preview, Memorial Cup, and More!
Posted 3:25 PM ET | Comments 7
Game 5 Preview of the Eastern Conference Finals, Memorial Cup, and More!Sure everyone wants to bring this crazy idea about the 33 year old curse of a comeback from 3-0 and how Dallas and Philadelphia are both vying to be that team to do it. The thing I find freaky about the curse is that it was done to the Detroit Red Wings in 1942 by the Toronto Maple Leafs and it was d...

HOCKEY GAME RANDOM THOUGHTSI wrote this blog a long time ago thought we could some positive vibes. I know I posted this blog before but I thought it would be nice to remember what really important in life.Have you ever noticed that when a hockey player goes crazy or makes a mistake it is on the tube for weeks? Every television station covers it, even the ones who d...
I noticed recently that someone posted a blog about the problems Versus has as a TV production, and I was going to simply comment on his blog, but I figured this is info that many people here might be interested in, so why not share it with anyone who cares.The problem expressed about Versus was that their camera work is shot too tight, and moves too much, which does not...

Pens/Flyers Game Four: The View From Minnesota...
Posted 10:37 PM ET | Comments 6
Here there be Flyers. My observations and commentaries on Game Four lay within.PERIOD ONEThis is where it all comes down to effort, to tenacity, to energy. The Flyers need to come out quick and they need to control the game from the outset. Anything less and it'll be over quick.And they do just that. Coach Stevens has juggled the lines a bit and thus far his ch...
For so many reasons, I want to love Versus.You know, the network formerly known as OLN. The network that stepped in to the NHL's rescue when ESPN wanted to cut back games to a very small number, as well as put all of them on ESPN2.And they did so many things right at the start. They added Mike Emrick -- aka Doc -- as a play-by-play man. Emrick's enthusiastic call of Ne...

Irresistible Force, List of FIRSTS and Pearl Harbour??

Make that 3-0 at the break on a sweeeeeeet forehand to backhand chip shot in the crease over the sprawled MAF by Jeff Carter. This young man seems to be beginning to understand how big time a player he can be. He has all the tools - that is no surprise - but his mental toughness and sense of " clutch " plays is really developing. He has all the makings of an elite centerm...

NY Islanders Creating Dialogue And Accountability With Fans
Posted 1:27 PM ET | Comments 0
Last night, with both Ranger fan brothers in tow to do a dry run on something we will be working over the summer, we went to the sparsely attended, yet extremely insightful and inclusive new initiative of the NY Islanders. The Isles plan on having these meetings every month, the next is likely June 4th. At these meetings, you have the opportunity to intermingle and kibbutz...
The NHL web site has posted the transcript of Gary Bettman's remarks before the Wings/Stars game on 05/15/08.In them we learn that at least one reporter had the ability to ask " a fascinating question " to which no clear answer was ever given, when queried if it is good for the league to have a dominating team like Detroit.One wonders what the answer would have been if...
Tonight is game 4 of the series against the Flyers. The Pens enter the game up 3-0 and tonigiht could be the possible sweep. It will not be an easy game by any means. The Flyers will not go down without a fight, especially at home. Tonight will be a battle with these two teams and such animosity between them, it could get ugly. The Flyers are fightinig to stay alive a...
It was the X-mas of 91-92 I was 12 years old and already bleeding Red,White,and Blue. Having started watching Ranger games with the names of Kisio,Mallette,Turcotte,Beezer,Jonnie " O " ,and Mullen in the mix. There was Domi and " Knuckles " Nylan fading out his career,while a fresh kid from team USA named Mike Richter was knocking on the door of greatness. In 89-90 Neil Smi...
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/18965609.htmlNice article on how far along the Flyers have come this year and how Holmgren didn't mortgage the future with his deadline deals this year.

Okay so the draft is a little over a month away, we know that this draft is headlined by one Steven Stamkos, but as far as I'm concerned, the NHL draft goes 7 rounds, not just 1 pick. I decided to break down all seven rounds of the NHL draft and offer up some of the possibilities. This mock draft is based on the CSB Final Rankings. Round 11. Lightning - Steven St...
