By oddJoe ⋅ January 3, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

So it turns out America does like hockey, but only if it played outdoors in a football stadium in a snowstorm.

By oddJoe ⋅ April 15, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

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. […]

Snarks On Ice: Your NHL Playoff Preview

By oddJoe ⋅ April 9, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

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 […]

Penguins staying put

By Sill ⋅ March 13, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

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.
