The enjoyable thing about going into the memories is the ones that you did not ever expect to find again.  This moment happened 46 years ago today.     December 29, 1964 Bobby Hull scored twice to lead the Black Hawks to a 4-2 win over the Rangers, at New York. The win stretched the […]

Ryan was smart not to pick the Devils.  As a matter of fact, we project the Devils losing into early 2011 as well.  Now, the Morning Skate.  The dig out is almost complete. The Morning After: Yesterday’s scores: Hurricanes 4, Maple Leafs 3 Penguins 6, Thrashers 3 Capitals 3, Canadiens 0 Bruins 4, Lightning 3 […]

Time to fire up the videos and we are ready to roll.           The tuneup against RPI was a classic….Team USA learned a lot there. Have a great night!

With Darryl Sutter now shown the door in Calgary and Jay Feaster taking over as GM, here is the question of the day.   So how long is it before Brent Sutter is replaced by Bob Hartley or someone else? Comment away. 

This is the time of year where everyone does their Year End type posts.  Well we have a fun one planned for Friday so stay tuned.  In the meantime, we go into yesteryear for today’s moment handpicked by our friends on twitter.     December 28, 1991 Vancouver’s Igor Larionov scored his second career hat […]

We have been taking some time off to deal with the snowstorm adequately here.  Hopefully everyone understands and by tonight or tomorrow, there should be a little more normalcy. THE MORNING SKATE The Morning After: Yesterday’s scores: Rangers 7, Islanders 2 Blue Jackets 4, Wild 3 (SO) Bruins 3, Panthers 2 (SO) Red Wings 4, […]

The only classy way to go here is to do the following and give this guy the Fantasy POTN as well as the VBB spotlight.  Have a great night everyone!     Congrats to Chris Osgood on win 400 and really the only video that could be played tonight.

This moment was a bit of a surprise but here we are going to spare the theatrics and get right down to it. Really this would be the best way to go about it.     Slap Shot director George Roy Hill died eight years ago today, December 27, 2002, at age 81. RIP, George, […]

At 10pm last night, while we normally check the children, civilization stopped here as I saw one of the weirder sites in winter….THUNDER SNOW!  Then a bit later, it went quiet….dead quiet.  Imagine if you will, the strange feeling as the power went out and the feeling of an “eye” like feature similar to hurricanes. […]

We have been busy preparing for a tweetup Monday Night so we have been considerably more busy than usual. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the Team USA win and the fun show we had tonight for the WJC.  Check out the excellent work that Su Ring is doing on the WJC but in the meantime we will […]

Yes the column even makes room for Christmas because some great hockey moments happened on This Day.  From all of us to all of you, here is one such moment.       December 25, 1971 Ken Hodge scored a goal and added three assists to lead Boston to a 5-1 win over the visiting […]

Simply I wanted to take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas from all of us at The Program. Now it is time to break out that Yule Log for everyone once again.     Nothing beats the YULE LOG! NOTHING!

As only we can at The Program, we skipped a day with our feature.  So today we will do days 10 and 11 and set up tomorrow as well.  There were a 100 million different things that we wanted to blame but in the end the ample bottles of cider were too good to pass […]
