Our apologies to those expecting a full column today as I would try to use the excuse the dog ate my homework but it just was not going to fly.  This is often what happens when you go to hit the save button and hit the close button accidentally.  Joomla does not allow you save […]

This moment today is all about Phil Esposito.  It occurred 34 years ago today and well if you think about how few players have done this milestone, just think about how hard it was in his era for a second.  We have a video first and then the moment as always.  Here it goes….   […]

Here are the videos on a Thursday Night from the NHL…..           Have a great night everyone!!!!

Ian Gooding with the guest blog today on his six for a busy Thursday in the NHL.  You can read all of his stuff over at Kuklas Korner right HERE. —————————————————————————– For the benefit of those who need to make waiver-wire or other roster management decisions on Wednesday for Thursday night’s action (and also for […]

Today we have another moment in the great career of Dominik Hasek.  This one comes from 13 years ago and note how low this record was.  People forget that Buffalo had a whole lot of goalies come and go in their franchise history.  At any rate, we have a video and moment from a goalie […]

Ready……set…..videos!  Well just a few so here we go…..       Have a great night everyone! And thanks to the Lupul hat trick and chasing of Ryan Miller.

    With back to back to back light schedules this week, it has been a pretty easy column to be honest.  Tonight is no exception as there are only three contests but that Philadelphia Vs. Buffalo games looks like tons of fun.  Also there is the inevitable question of whether the Toronto Maple Leafs […]

“This Day” takes a look at a moment in Devils history most probably think never even happened.  When one thinks of comebacks, no one expects a big comeback from the Devils in a third period (especially in the 1980’s).  Yet the unthinkable did occur.  Indeed it did on this day 26 years ago and it […]

The videos are ready and here we go……         Have a great night everyone!

We’re three weeks into the 2011-12 NHL season and at last The Wire Troll is back. The first few weeks have been wildly inconsistent for the Fantasy hockey GM. Early on, the pleasant surprises have been plentiful, but so have the disappointments. Right on cue, the weather has even turned south as an October blizzard […]

    Apparently in Winnipeg there are certain people, you do not go after.  Florida’s Jack Skille found that out the hard way last night as after a clean hit, he had to fight Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien.  It was probably not on his to do list but give Skille credit, he weathered the […]

It does seem that we are on a bit of a “firsts” kick here on The Program.  Since the first of the month is here, we went searching back and way back for a moment that would illustrate a fresh beginning of sorts.  The best part was we did not have to go very far […]

    It has been an interesting week in fantasy hockey and Week 4 is underway. What do we have this week?  Daniel Dobish brings the heat from Rotoexperts this week……. ———————————————————————————— Highlights: Daniel Alfredsson is the latest player diagnosed with a concussion. Should you play the Swedish forward this week? If you’re looking for […]

Sometimes a moment just goes so fast it seems like it vanished and then it happens again.  Well let us see what occurred on this day 24 years ago.  Not only was this a real scream but was quite the stunner too.  The strangest fact was the following.  Chicago accomplished this feat and yet still […]

    The final day of Week 3 is upon us fantasy hockey fans.  It was another strange week as they all have been so far this hockey season.  If it all goes right, we are probably around two weeks away from one of the biggest fantasy impacts of the young year.  However, that is […]
