Don Cherry loves to offer his opinion to any person willing to listen. When he was prompted on CBC's radio show about how long he thought the lockout would last, Cherry answered that he thinks odds are good that the entire season will be lost. "If I'm betting, I'd say no [NHL season]," stated Cherry, […]

Gary Bettman won't be handing out any Halloween candy this year. He still hasn't figured out how to unlock his front door. Instead, he'll be taking to the streets to join in on the trick-or-treating. http://youtube.com/watch?v=l3MyE_4r844 "I'm Gary Bettman and I can do whatever I want!" We always imagined Bettman was shorter in real life […]

One would think that Apple's iOS assistant Siri would be getting all sorts of questions about Hurricane Sandy. How big of a storm is it? Where is it headed? How much damage did it do? Well, apparently it just absolutely tore up… the Southeast Division? According to Slate.com, Siri didn't really know how to handle […]

Fritsch will sport Ottawa's logo on both his shirt and on his golf bag while receiving "financial support" in return. The news, as seen on the team's official site, is humorous when you consider that Fritsch might have […]

Some observers of the NHL Lockout have been waiting for a sign. Not a sign that the thing is finally over — no, that would be too easy. Instead, they're looking for signs that neither side will let up and that the labor negotiations will be ongoing for much longer than anyone wants them to […]

The last time the league had a labor situation, I was toiling away in high school. Living in Oil Country, I had just seen the Flames make a run to the Cup before they engaged in a year long effort to get a salary cap put into place. I followed sports, and hockey of course, […]

Patrick Marleau's a pretty unassuming guy. He's also a great team guy, willing to make a personal sacrifice like giving up the C for his team. Also, he's the bane of Jeremy Roenick's existence, so that's another plus. Marleau hasn't said too much about the NHL Lockout, but with the league cancelling all games through […]

Derek Roy – Irony is your new middle name. As the NHL lockout trudges forward both the players and owners continue to battle for the upper hand in the area of public relations. Players cry that the NHL isn't being fair while the NHL declares the players aren't being realistic. We've seen dozens and dozens […]

You’d be hard pressed to find someone who fawns over Nassau Coliseum in its current condition. It’s old, it smells funny, it leaks – it needs to be renovated from the top to the bottom and back up again. Islanders owner Charles Wang should move the team to a new building that’s deserving of a […]

Jaromir Jagr is not your typical hockey player. While most players are primarily focused on what takes place on the ice, Jagr is also deeply involved in the business side of the game as the owner of HC Kladno, a team in the Czech Extraliga. Based on this business background, Jagr has a different opinion on […]

It's hard to see a player be out for an extended period of time for any reason, but the story of Marc Savard is especially painful. Concussed on a nasty hit by Matt Cooke on March 7th, 2010, and further concussed by Matt Hunwick the following January, Savard has hit roadblock after roadblock in his […]
