Schedules change, fortunes change, and well seasons change. Winter is fast approaching and as it gets colder, hockey gets hotter. So as I sit here….watching the Sens-Rangers pregame on HNIC….it makes me think about what has transpired in October and November..and look ahead to December and beyond. A lot of the teams that got off […]

This is not good. My team has been playing like the Toronto Maple Leafs, which is the worst way a hockey team could play in the nhl. Now, this isn’t like the lazy style which the leafs sometimes use, but the sens are just making dumb mistakes. Did you see shean donovan last night behind […]

Our new Thursday weekly column is in Week 2….who are this week’s three turkeys???? Nik Antropov (C) — Toronto Maple Leafs This one was easy….a -5 and no goals in the last 2 weeks. Not only that but he has virtually invisible when on the ice. When you’re that big and you aren’t seen…you have […]

Henrik Lundqvist or Rick DiPietro? Boltman from the Atlanta Thrashers board posted this question regarding Ilya Kovalchuk and Vincent Lecavalier and it got me to thinking. Here in the Atlantic Division one of the Rangers biggest rivals are the New York Islanders. Both teams have outstanding Goalies and both teams are battling for first place […]

The rise of the Philadelphia Flyers in the standings this year seems to have one weird, unintended site effect….suspensions…four of them already. So once is an accident…twice is a trend…what in the wide wide world of sports does fourth mean? I really can’t remember a team having four of its players suspended in separate incidents […]

“Yo VIP, Let’s kick it! Ice Ice Baby Ice Ice Baby All right stop Collaborate and listen” Sorry, flashback moment, back to hockey. The Pittsburgh Penguins are off to a slower than expected start and coaching changes to lines changes have been tossed around as possible solutions to the problem. And yet one idea has […]

  Good evening everyone and welcome to another edition of Fantasy Hockey 101.  We’re going to take another look at The Stevens League and The LSHL.  First up we’ll take a look at the LSHL. On the surface, it doesn’t seem much has changed since the last time we looked at the LSHL.  However, even […]

Thanks to the fine folks at Cold Stone Creamery for this one. Yummy! The flavor above is called Cheesecake Fantasy. It is still pretty warm down here at the college…so a nice ice cream sundae is always welcome. The flavor itself is pretty explanatory…but if you live in the Palm Springs area…you know this place […]

After a shorter-than-hoped-for walk down Stanley Cup Lane in the 2006-2007 season, The Buffalo Sabres had to endure an even worse experience. During the first few hours of the free agent frenzy, the team suffered through losing Chris Drury to the New York Rangers and Daniel Briere to the Philadelphia Flyers. Also, Dainius Zubrus went […]

Now if you’re wondering this isn’t the red line that is there but doesn’t exist for NHL purposes anymore. Nope this is the really thin one that separates a goal from not a goal. How many times have you heard the dreaded phrase “The play is now being reviewed” and immediately cringed? If you didn’t….check […]

So no shit, there I was. Sitting on my couch with the booze flowing like water. Kicking back and hammering the refs for another bad game. It may or may not have been booze induced, but I’m really pissed. Regardless losing to the Colombus Blue jackets isn’t my idea of a good time. 2 Nights […]

It seems like only yesterday when the draft for the 2007-2008 hockey season had begun and all the teams were looking for a ray of hope for the coming year. Alas, after one fourth of the season is gone, the Pittsburgh Penguins are still on the search. After last year’s fantastic run, which shoved the […]

Time to get out of the gates and take a look at what we got for a team that is normally a perennial contender for Lord Stanley’s Cup.  A new arena (The Prudential Center — "The Rock") was a hope that the good times would spread to the new building.  So far however, the product […]

The Steve Miller Band called him Space Cowboy…..well I call them turkeys! The players who absolutely and positively stink it up so rancid that even the others don’t quite stink so bad. This new fantasy hockey column takes a look at the turkeys of the season so far and eventually will have the turkeys of […]

From all the bloggers on the Program and all the members of The NHL Arena….I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!! Now go enjoy the turkey…some sport called football but most importantly four big Turkey Day hockey games….drumsticks and pucks….gotta love it! Now don’t forget the stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and all the […]
