It’s here! It’s finally here……TRAINING CAMP!!!! Since we last saw hockey….it has been an eventful offseason with more plot twists than R. Kelly’s Trapped In A Closet (which may be done by 2015). Seriously, it is the one time of year where every team’s fan has hope. In the next couple weeks…there will be all […]

Looks really refreshing, doesn’t it? Well like the waterfall…the hockey season is rushing upon us. At long last, the drop of the puck will happen and the games will count. Fans will be debating which team is the best instead of which team looks best on paper. By the way this week’s picture is from […]

Yes indeed….it is finally draft week! Training camps will be starting very soon and preseason games aren’t too far behind. But most importantly it is time for fantasy hockey drafts. The Stevens League will be drafting on Saturday with some expected fireworks as always. Time to get the planning in order. Now you don’t need […]

“Honey, bring me some popcorn and a beer. Let’s sit down to this new DVD I got explaining the new rules for this upcoming hockey season. I hear this Stephen Walkom guy, who is NHL Senior VP & Director of Officiating, is the real deal.”“So you think that the game will be officiated better thus […]

Alrighty….so you’re wondering….where is that picture from? This is from one of my favorite fishing holes in my hometown of Rahway, New Jersey. Nothing like fishing for some trout in the cold weather of October and November….just before the winter sets in. Hey, September is here…which means only one thing….training camp is rapidly approaching and […]

The art of the deal…it can make or break you.Many have said to me….that there was always one deal made in a fantasy league that always turned a season around or made someone’s season fall flat on their face. Now while this isn’t always true….sometimes it really is. There is no true science to the […]

This week’s winner is none other than Earl Sleek from Battle of California. They are a group of bloggers who cover the Sharks, Ducks, and Kings like no other. I wanted to again thank all of the nominees for their hard work in the craft. As always though…here is Mr. Sleek’s blog for that extensive […]

WGRZ reported last night with a Buffalo News confirmation that Nathan Patesch has signed a 3 year deal. WGRZ reports the Buffalo Defenseman took a 3yr/3m deal, however, which makes this a very affordable signing, and one I am excited about as well, because we need his ability on the PP now more than ever. […]

Still no news from the Ducks camp about Teemu Selanne and Scott Niedermayer about retiring from hockey. Fans like myself are growing frustrated and annoyed and hearing rumour after rumour about them both. Some of you may have heard that Scott is going to make his decision by training camp and I think this is […]

After a bit of a long hiatus….we are back….and for now, we are starting with just the blogs on the site. As the weeks go on….I will be nominating a committee of bloggers and arena members to search out the best of the best…and then the results for that week will be posted on here. […]

So Larry Robinson is on what….his tenth stint with the Devils? It sure feels that way doesn’t it? Well the other day, he was named an assistant coach with the team after a bit of a reshuffling at the urging of Brent Sutter. Larry can’t get enough of coaching…it is what kills him but also […]

Ducks GM Brian Burke took part in a conference call yesterday to address the situation of Oilers GM Kevin Lowe giving Dustin Penner an offer sheet but the Ducks need to match it if he is to remain in a Ducks jersey. Burke lashed out at Lowe saying that he is ‘fighting to keep his […]

The Sabres have dodged a bullet. Center Derek Roy has signed a 6 year deal worth 24 million dollars, for a cap hit of 4.000 million. In other news, I just about died. The Sabres typically have made it staunchly clear that the maximum term length of any “long term” contract that they’d offer would […]

It is often said small market teams in the NHL need to stick together. The Buffalo’s, Pittsburgh’s, Ottawa’s and Edmonton’s needed to be on the same page, to allow this league to survive. During the lock out these teams stood as one to battle the big market teams. Get everyone on the same page with […]
