Fantasy Hockey

Fantasy Hockey lets fans of hockey realistically simulate the feeling of owning and maintaining a successful hockey organization. Like fantasy baseball and fantasy football before it, fantasy hockey lets fans call the shots on their dream fantasy team.
With fantasy hockey, the level of realism and involvement that fans experience is something that can’t be [...]

Prince Fielder’s Shorts

Listen not everything penned here is worthy of a Pulitzer, but I came across this article and couldn’t help offering a semi re-post. Your main man Prince Fielder decided to celebrate a dinger by ripping out his uniform only to reveal that he is a true Brewer even down to his boxer shorts…Just fantastic!

The Door In The…

For my money, the best hockey action pic since Eastman met Kodak.

Credit to David Bloom, who took the picture. The guy getting stung is Saskatchewan Huskies student trainer Davin Peterson. No, not the guy crumpled on the ice…the guy on the bench who looks like he just stepped on the third rail. This is [...]

C’mon Everyone Likes A Brawl

Trying video on this site for the first time ever. A friend of mine passed along this video which is from the 2000 finals of the Romanian Hockey League. Since fighting seems to be down in the NHL this season, I thought it might be a nice change to know that aggression and a good [...]

Alexander The Great

If you need a reason why Alexander Ovetchkin is changing the face of hockey and has more skill than any player to come along since the Gretzky - Lemieux era just check out this video. Absolutely unbelievable in my humble opinion.

JR - Self Proclaimed Best American

If you follow hockey on any level whatsoever or if you caught Sportscenter after the American Olympic Hockey Team was announced, you would know that Jeremy Roenick was pissed and called his not being picked for the Olympic team the biggest snub of his career. Recently David Amber (formerly of TSN and now on ESPN [...]

Breaking Down Team Canada

We have about 35 million people in this great country of Canada and the fact that so many of them were glued to their television, radio or the Internet yesterday to see the live announcement (the simple fact that there was a press conference covered by all 3 is something unto itself) of Team Canada’s [...]

New NHL: Goalzapoppin’

We’re 34 games into the 2005/2006 NHL season and the twine’s really poppin’. If you’ve been watching (or gambling) pretty hard you may have noticed another trend livening up the Canadian-ballet: overtime. Through 30-34 games we’ve seen 98 overtime losses. That means, essentially, that we’ve seen 98 overtime games. It’s not like that average old [...]

Red Wings All Class

This week was different if you were a Detroit Red Wing. Not because the NHL had decided to loosen up on its new rules or because Steve Yzerman had announced he wouldn’t be playing for Team Canada, but because the players had one of their “Dad, Male Family Member or Mentor” join them for the [...]

The question has started to be raised quietly as Mario Lemieux sits out of the lineup with heart issues and people start to realize that there will be a need for a new captain in Pittsburgh sooner than later. So here’s the thing, is Sidney Crosby ready, or will he be ready to be their [...]

The Greatest of Our Time?

Rebutting Adam Proteau’s Letter To Lindros

Look, I don’t think any Toronto Maple Leaf’s fan will lie to you and say they were not happy when #88 finally landed in town and dawned the Maple Leaf’s blue and white. Perhaps it was because he was actually happy, perhaps it was because so many people already had gone out and bought Lindros [...]

The NHL’s Newest Penalty: $1000 For Being An Idiot

This really is the new NHL. Sean Avery, the Los Angeles Kings’ centre with the golden tongue, picked up a $1000 fine for an alleged dive in a November 3 game at Phoenix. There was no penalty called on the play, but league disciplinarian Colin Campbell reviewed the tape in his New York office and [...]

The NHL Advertisements Are Stupid

The NHL marketing department is just plain stupid.
I am not an advertising genious by any stretch (if I was, more of you would be reading this article),
but I can tell you one thing if I was in any sort of marketing position at the NHL I would have enough brains to figure out that [...]

The NHL’s Best New Rule

Over the past while the love affair in Canada with the NHL has resulted in extra coverage in sports sections across the country and hockey being sure to lead the sports news (though again we are still “banned” from ESPN). So while I have decided not to turn this article into one about why I [...]

Dion Phaneuf Is Phenominal

Now I don’t profess to be anything more than a good Canadian boy who loves to play hockey. Was on skates for the first time at 3 and started playing in games at 6. To this day I play at least twice a week during the winter and oh ya, I play defence. That’s about [...]
