The Edmonton Oilers’ General Manager Kevin Lowe has his team in position for a playoff run. Maybe not this year but in the years to come. After making a “statement” offer to Dustin Penner of the Ducks and signing Dick Tarnstrom during free agent time, it seems obvious that he realizes this may not […]

Time to take our much anticipated first look into the LSHL. Heading into the second month there have been some noticeable changes. Once again here is the list of rules and regs…it is quite long but something to keep in mind as week by week we delve further here at the Fantasy Hockey 101. LSHL […]

IT IS PATRIK ELIAS!!!! As Scott Stevens was crying his tears of joy in Toronto and I am sure Mary was too….Elias lifted the spirits of a sunken Devils team and maybe more importantly himself. He scored with 5:23 left and the New Jersey Devils held on for an all important 3-2 victory over the […]

Tonight is a very special night for hockey fans…..the Hockey Hall Of Fame will be inducting 4 members and a builder. Mark Messier, Scott Stevens, Al MacInnis, Ron Francis, and Jim Gregory (former GM, exec, central scouting director). The picture above is an artist’s rendering of what the stage will look like tonight. Though the […]

Hi all! I’m really sorry I haven’t posted in here in for a long while to the fact that I started my new job nearly 2 months ago and I have just been so busy during the week. Anyways in December, I am going to start a monthly blog and December’s blog will list the […]

Good morning from The NHL Arena Program….today is Veteran’s Day (Remembrance Day for our Canadian friends out there). At 11AM ET, we will be paying a moment of silence on all of our boards in the NHL Arena forum. Thank you to our Rangers GM, Blue, for the following…… “Lord, keep our servicemen and women […]

This week’s Instigator takes a funnier angle on the Eric Lindros retirement than even Lindros could imagine. Eric Lindros and Striped Elephants That was priceless. Then of course there is Peklund The Phoney Hockey Blogger. If you haven’t read any of his articles yet then you should….this is guaranteed a downright good laugh. For further […]

On the way to Patrick Roy’s wins record…there happens to be one small milestone for Martin Brodeur to pass and that is win 500. Win 499 came last night in a 13 save effort in the Devils’ 4-1 victory over the Flyers. So what would win 500 mean if he gets it on Saturday against […]

Well Versus did it once again. For those who didn’t watch the Tuesday Night tilt between the Rangers and Isles….you missed about a 2 1/2 to nearly 3 minute glitch in their system where there was no hockey. If this ever happened on a major network…it would be fixed like that but I kept expecting […]

“What we have here is a failure to communicate!” Or to score, or stop a puck, or hit, or, well, play consistent hockey. The Pittsburgh Penguins, a young, talented team full of energy and expectations. Or is it a team full of dreams and cow manure?Right now they are like the Jekyll and Hyde of […]

Scott Stevens day is today on FSNY. The player that he will be forever linked to retired this week. Eric Lindros, probably one of the few players that truly combined brute force with great hands, is now going to be judged as far as…is he Hall Of Fame worthy? It is indeed a very good […]

This has been no doubt one of the greatest things I could have ever asked for…a blog to truly express my thoughts and feelings on the sport I love most. Not only that but to see others who share the same intense passion, it is truly something I appreciate deeply. The ride has been fun […]

Count me in. Open the door to the bandwagon and let me hop on. Also, wake me, if it’s a dream but I think not. With the hockey season entering it’s second month, the Columbus Blue Jackets are a team with a purpose. And that purpose isn’t to sweep the cellar floors again this year.After […]

The first month has passed in the fantasy hockey season. Like where you are in the standings? Probably you don’t but hey it is early. I am currently sitting in the middle of the pack in my league after a couple of bad weeks. That will happen when your triumvirate of goalies goes MIA for […]

Good old Harbor Island in San Diego….how I love it…the hotel, the restaurants, the sailing. Then just hop over the bridge and head to Pacific or Mission Beach for some wakeboarding. Talk about some awesome stuff. At any rate, it almost looks like a certainty that San Diego will be my home about June or […]
