Christie Brinkley Shills For Isles

Is it too early to start talking about hockey? It’s obviously not too early to start selling season tickets, and the Islanders are pulling out the big guns with an ad featuring none other than former super model and current super fan Christie Brinkley.
Okay, maybe she’s no longer as hot as she was 25 […]

Now we’re talking playoff hockey

After yesterday’s NHL games you can’t tell me you don’t like hockey.
So me, you, and everyone else were thinking the Islanders were finished, right? They’re playing the top-ranked Sabres, they looked like crap in Game 1, it was just a matter of time. But no, the team from Long Island has proven us all wrong. […]

NHL playoffs - day 2

Some great games last night as the Wings, Sabres, Rangers (yes, Rangers) and Devils all won.
The games that I was able to catch had one trend. The winning team (except the Rangers) were owned like the girl in this basketball dunk video

Anyway, to recap

Calgary Flames looked terrible
Buffalo made the Islanders look like, well, Islanders.
Devils […]

Snarks On Ice: Your NHL Playoff Preview

Oh I know, you hardly took notice that the NHL regular season came to an end yesterday, but there’s no need for you to be ashamed or anything. With NBC’s spotty coverage and Versus being the cable equivalent of a low-powered community-college UHF station, it’s easy to overlook hockey sometimes, even though it is […]

NBC doing a fine job ignoring hockey

The final weekend of the NHL regular season is upon us, and what a doozie it will be. There are a couple division races still to be decided and two playoff spots are up for grabs.
Montreal and Toronto battle it out tonight for the eighth seed in the East with a one-point margin separating the […]

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 […]

Messier Jersey Retired - Free hockey tickets!

Last night was the retirement of the Edmonton Oilers number 11 for Mark Messier. Which officially means that I will never play for the Oilers or Rangers (being a number 11 myself). The last two-three days have been Messier days in Edmonton with a Road being renamed after him and now […]
