Okay time to see what is cooking on This Day. Yesterday was kind of a quirky moment. I am wondering if today’s can top it. Time to take a look…… Old Stars footage from 1996…… December 15, 1996 Dallas goalie Andy Moog recorded his 25th career shutout in the Stars’ 4-0 win at Ottawa. Early […]

Wow we almost forgot all about This Day. Oops the embarrassment of it all. Today we have a moment from the somewhat old days and here it goes….. December 14, 1980 Boston journeyman winger Doug Morrison scored his only career hat trick, with three straight goals in the third period as the Bruins won 7-1 […]

The QMJHL last week announced new rules to eliminate “unlawful draft practices.” What does this mean? “For these reasons, the Board of Governors, with the help of guidelines established by an independent committee comprised of Governors and members of the QMJHL hockey operations staff, have created a form which the Owner, the Governor and other […]

First Ryan’s and then my thoughts for the week ahead…… Top 5 games I’m looking forward to:1. Capitals @ Canucks (Friday)2. Penguins @ Sabres (Saturday)3. Red Wings @ Blackhawks (Sunday)4. Kings @ Flames (Thursday)5. Predators @ Flames (Saturday) Matchup of the Weak:Panthers @ Islanders (Monday)… There’s just nothing attractive about this matchup. Two teams to […]

It must be Monday and time for the Monday Ice Water Cooler where we have a little fun with the sport of hockey and a little truth serum added in as well. Hopefully people had a good weekend as it is only 11 days until Christmas. For those retail people out there…you get an extra […]

A look back at the 2005-06 season…….

I love Olympic hockey. I say that because it surprises me how many NHL fans don’t. They don’t like the fact it interrupts the NHL season, the risk of injury to key players, in some case the just don’t like the hockey itself. International rules do change how the game is played, but not enough […]
