Anyone watch the Ottawa/Pittsburgh game today? Pittsburgh scored a goal (not an important one -- just the game-winner) off the transition -- that was created when Daniel Alfredsson missed a glorious scoring chance. Why?
His piece-of-you-know-what stick broke.
I don't know how many scoring chances for are missed, and how many scoring chances against are created by s...
So, it’s Wednesday and I’m thirty minutes into an hour commute home to get to my son’s first street hockey game of this summer season. He’s coming off a winter where he played two separate seasons of inline hockey and went to a skating camp to prep him for ice hockey this winter. I tell you this so that you understand that he’s equipped to play, the money’s bee...

Breakin' What Don't Need Fixin': Scoring in the Boring NHL
Posted Monday | Comments 0
