From fellow Bloguin blog Days of Y'Orr comes the latest in Tiawanese animation of current events; this time it's a sharp take on the NHL lockout. http://youtube.com/watch?v= VTaVul5H2Zo[/youtube] Some highlights include an owner guy besting Claude Giroux in a poutine eating contest (I assume it's Giroux – poutine and a Flyers jersey? Who else?), […]

  This time next week I should be in Nashville at a Predators/Hurricanes pre-season game. Am I fan of either team? No. Do I care? No. I want hockey. We all want hockey. We've been waiting for June for the sport to come back, attending prospect camps and kids' games and crossing off every calendar […]

  It doesn't look like the talks between either side in the NHL/NHLPA negotiations are willing to budge to get a CBA hammered out. The CBA expires on September 15th, and the owners have been more than clear that should no solution get drawn up by then that the start of training camps and the […]

It's hard not to be snide here, but with the news that Donald Fehr, Gary Bettman, and Bill Daly will all decline paychecks should a lockout occur, some professionalism is needed. Aw, forget it. Bwhahahahahaha. No paychecks. Like Bettman and Daly needed them to begin with, amirite? Ok, got that out of my system. Objectivity […]

      You might remember last year that EA Sports, thanks to the protestations of a little girl from Buffalo (presumably so a girl could beat her brother in both real life and in the game), added women to the Create a Pro option. I covered this on my site, Thrashing the Blues, and […]

  Sometimes it's nice to have a fan as the owner of a professional team. You know his heart'll always be in the right place, and he'll do what he thinks is in the franchise's best interest. No absent ownership with him — but sometimes they have the propensity to think like a fan, and […]

Once the bridesmaid, never the bride. That should be something that Washington Capitals goaltender Michal Neuvirth should be happy to shed this season. He's not exactly the #1 goaltender for sure yet, but to hear him talk he should have no problem capturing that spot now that Tomas Vokoun left the Washington Capitals to join the […]

There's all sorts of lock-out talk going on out there, like how it's going to happen and how it's the owners' fault for the insane contracts they dish out like candy. Scott Hartnell apparently figured he needed to get some chocolate before the owners turned the candy into butterscotch disks of a new CBA, so […]

 The Los Angeles Kings were hosting a round-table discussion with authors from various blogs regarding sundry topics, one of which was which team would fall out of playoff contention this season. Nathan Eide of Hockey Wilderness said this, which is what unintentionally started this tift: West: Detroit. Ding, dong, the Wings are dead. Too many holes, […]

File this one under "interesting news of the day that you didn't need to know." Via Deadspin comes this fashion tip. Perhaps you're a hockey player, and perhaps you have a little Radek Bonkadonk going on in your rear end area. You know, booty. It happens – lower body workouts grow muscles, and your butt […]

All hockey fans — check that, all sports fans — dread any sort of labor stoppage. It kills momentum, it kills league growth, and for the NHL those are two things that the league has right now. Many pundits and fans, when they read the NHL owners' proposal back at the end of July, believed […]
