Yes it is the day before Christmas and everything is getting all set up for Christmas.  However, first we have a moment for everyone to enjoy.     December 24, 1972 Ed Giacomin recorded his 40th career shutout (to tie Dave Kerr’s team record) and Pete Stemkowski picked up four assists as the Rangers won […]

Ryan brings us the Christmas Eve edition of The Morning Skate.  It feels like I have known Ryan Porth for years now and really wanted to wish him and his family a Merry Christmas.  Now the quickie AM Skate. THE MORNING SKATE The Morning After: Yesterday’s scores: Penguins 3, Capitals 2 (SO) Panthers 4, Sabres […]

Hey why not….play some videos.  These look like some fun.                 Have a great night everyone and GO TEAM USA!!!!

(Photo Credit: Getty Images) There was an inevitable cold wind and reality that blew into Newark today and it was not Santa Claus making an early visit.  In reality, it was Lou Lamoriello letting us know what we needed to for almost a month now.  That fact was simple.  John MacLean was relieved of his […]

We do not make it a secret for our disdain of the Winter Classic.  However, there is a respect for it. Today’s moment has nothing to do with it so here it goes….     December 23, 2001 Mighty Ducks scored three goals in a 51-second span during the first period, the fastest three in […]

Two days until Christmas…are you ready?  Here is Ryan with the Morning Skate. THE MORNING SKATE The Morning After: Yesterday’s scores: Islanders 2, Lightning 1 (OT) Penguins 5, Panthers 2 Red Wings 5, Canucks 4 (OT) Blackhawks 4, Predators 1 Predictions record: 3-1 My 3 stars of the night: 1.

It is time to be able to take the videos up a notch.  Hopefully we pleased on this night.           Have a great Hump Night everyone!

By Day 9, thoughts turn to consuming more beer to calm the fantasy hockey nerves.  If you think we are kidding, then you do not know most average fantasy hockey GM’s.  There is something a bit off about them at times.  They can be downright certifiable at times.  Alcohol consumption ramps up this time of […]

Today’s moment is real fast but ironic.  We take you back to 1989 today in a time where big hair was in and even some Devil players knew how to score.  Time to tame this bad boy.       December 22, 1989 New Jersey’s John MacLean became the second player in franchise history to […]

Yes it is kind of weird not having a show tonight but we will be on Whats Brewin In Football at 10pm. In the meantime, enjoy Ryan’s Morning Skate.  Hopefully everything is 100% by Christmas. THE MORNING SKATE The Morning After: Yesterday’s scores: Sabres 5, Ducks 2 Blues 4, Thrashers 2 Blue Jackets 3, Flames […]

Wow it is Day 8, now at this point our partners from the North started getting pretty plastered so it was getting harder to count.  However, even with the Nyquil and Brandy shots, we will try our best here not to skip.  The key is to get more creative or try to at least come […]

Hopefully a little more later as illness permits, but this was an odd yet time changing moment for hockey.  Thanks to the Red Wings for this one.     December 21, 1938 Detroit Red Wings took the first charter flight in team history, when they flew from New York to Chicago for a game.

Ryan brings us the Morning Skate once again.  Its Tuesday so this should be tons of fun for everyone.

Tonight’s choice was obvious on the surface but there were actually a couple honorable mentions.  Think about it, this guy had 5 points just in the first 28:20 of action.  Just imagine if Pittsburgh had kept the gas pedal fully down throughout the entire down. So let’s get down to this.  Tonight’s fantasy player of […]

Here comes the videos but first I need some syrup and butter with my box of waffles.           The last one is fighting fail of epic proportions….give us your thoughts!
