Tootoo Train Derailed

Speaking of wacky names, Jordan Tootoo was suspended five games from the NHL on Monday night. Tootoo was suspended for ’sucker punching’ Stephane Robiadas. Tootoo is known as one of those ‘trouble maker’ and some consider him a very dirty player.
Normally people don’t get suspended 5 games for a sucker […]

19 going on 35

No this isn’t the title of an upcoming coming of age comedy. I’m talking about the Ohio State star player Glen Oden. Seriously, look at the picture below, as if he’s only 19.
Well, either way this 35 year old is leading his Ohio State Buckeyes to the sweet sixteen (barely). […]

New Gretzky - Jon Tavares

Not exactly sure how this flew under my radar but it did.   Johnathan Tavares broke a crazy record last week.  The record was goals scored by a 16 year old in the CHL (Canadian Hockey League) last week.    Tavares was able to score 72 goals as a 16 year old, passing Wayne Gretzky’s old mark […]

NHL players to play at the Olympics

Let me just state that we basically knew that the NHL players would be playing.  Why?   Well, they actually enjoying playing in the Olympics and two the Olympics are in Canada.  Home of hockey. Plus what would the olympics be without some overpaid professional atheletes competing.

For example, what would the 2004 summer olympics be without […]

Penguins staying put

The news out of Pittsburgh today is that the Pittsburgh Penguins are staying put.  And why shouldn’t they?   They’re doing quite well in the Eastern Conference, are going to make the playoffs for the first time in a while and have more talent then a juggling monkey.
I for one am happy that they’re staying put.  […]

Federer loses !?!

That’s not a typo folks.    He seriously lost.
Guillermo Canas beat Roger Federer 7-5, 6-2 in the third round of the Pacific Life Open.  Federer was going for his 42 straight victory and will have to settle for only 41 consecutive wins and winning the last 7 tournaments he’s entered, not bad I guess.    To his […]

Simon says “eat my stick”

Wait.  This isn’t grade school anymore is it?   Well, then Chris Simon you’re going to be suspended.  Although, I really don’t think you’d be allowed to get a kid to eat your stick in grade school either…   But I digress, this is the NHL.
After intentionally trying to take Ryan Hollweg’s (who?)  head off last Thursday […]

Should you Trade your Soul?

It’s been almost two weeks since the trading deadline. The biggest trade of the day involved Ryan Smyth who was previously on the Edmonton Oilers and the New York Islanders.
Ryan Smyth was what most people considered the “heart and soul” of the Oilers. Every game he played, and still plays for that matter, […]

Eastern Conference NHL Predictions

Today is exactly a month (less a day) till the NHL Playoffs. Yesterday I discussed the Western Conference Playoff predictions; today I’ll talk about the teams that will make the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Eastern Conference is a much tighter race near the bottom of the with basically seven teams going for one spot. […]

Big Men Pinks Sticks

No that’s not the name of a weird porn movie.
NHL players will be playing with pink hockey sticks on March 16, 17 and 18th to support Breast Cancer awareness and research. The players will sign their respective stick and it will be auctioned on Ebay with the proceeds going towards Breast Cancer […]
