Veterans Day is always a time to reflect and remember. That is why it is called Remembrance Day in Canada. So maybe this is a way to get us to reflect on the real message of the day and that is about the veterans. It got me to thinking if there were any vets who […]

Thanks to Bob, we have this one from October of 2007 which links parenting and the NHL in a nice neat package. Okay maybe it does not. Note the NHL is not very consistent at discipline. Enjoy.

Time for a quick Pick The Winner this morning. It is a busy day and I did want to wish a Happy Birthday to my sister in law Joann. If anyone needed a pick me up this morning…it is her. Hang in there! Well last night we picked Chicago and Chicago responded with a 4-1 […]

Well except for Dawes maybe…oops! Ah yes…fantasy hockey 101 is back and more importantly…the fantasy hockey season is up and running. […]

Today we have a moment that I am surprised only happened once but I did a little research and it turns out it really only happened….just once.
