Dusting off the archives a bit and maybe that old six pack of really cheap beer,  Today we bring back dear old Peter Puck for everyone.  Now I was a little too young but believe me, Peter Puck was quite the household name in the mid and late 1970’s.  Here is his introduction.     […]

It is time to test the new server…why not.  We will tax it with a new moment today from the days of old.  This moment happened 34 years ago today.  Enjoy.     September 24, 1976 Team Canada won the first “Canada Cup” on Darryl Sittler’s overtime goal which gave Team Canada a 5-4 win […]

Something important we learned from last night’s podcast was the following: You never know when news will come to you but more importantly, its how you handle that news that makes or breaks you. Words to truly live by.  Little did we know what would transpire before last night’s show but here is the archive […]

Arena openings are always fun even in the preseason and now here is some inside video.  This is your moment of hockey zen Pittsburgh fans!     Remember to tip your bartender too.

  They are back!  Did you miss the turkeys?  I bet NHL players are cowering and cringing right now.  Somewhere Alexei Kovalev is running for his life after that post-Olympic gasser he had.  Even Roberto Luongo is not safe from the wrath of a mediocre end to the regular season last year.  With the pre-season […]

We are back just enjoying the moments one day at a time.  Today, there was a moment from 18 years ago.  This indeed was a true classic but not in the sense you would expect.     September 23, 1992 Manon Rheaume became the first woman ever to play in an NHL exhibition game, when […]

AND WE BROUGHT THE SCHWARTZ WITH US……     Tonight at 8pm ET…a full hour too. Do not forget to comb the desert with hockey.

    Yes it may be training camp but occasionally the much needed break is necessary.  This is one of those times.  We are going on the road for a little rest and relaxation in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania.  See everyone Wednesday and do not forget to check out all of our fine links […]

So is this what a Viking funeral feels like?  For Edmonton fans, it really was.  This moment happened 19 years ago today.  The burning flame did not come up with this one.     September 19, 1991 Edmonton traded Grant Fuhr, Glenn Anderson and Craig Berube to Toronto, in exchange for Vince Damphousse, Scott Thornton, […]

The Los Angeles Kings had to start somewhere and that was start was this day 43 years ago against the Minnesota North Stars.  Here is today’s moment.     September 18, 1967 Los Angeles Kings played their first game in team history — and lost the exhibition match, 7-3 to the North Stars, in Hamilton, […]

Here are four questions from James O’Brien of Pro Hockey Talk.  This is how we answered them. Which position battles are most crucial to New Jersey’s success? Oddly enough there could be battles at Left Wing, Center, and Right Wing.  The Devils have a bit of excess in riches going into this season on offense.  […]

Every day for the next week or so, we will pay tribute to the man and legend that is Pat Burns.  Here is today’s video.  Remember the man and try to forget about the HOF issue for just a little while.  Thanks.     The lighter side today….

Well today is a moment that Habs fans will even rejoice for.  Sure it is from 39 years ago but I am sure there are plenty of fond memories of this one.  The debut of “The Flower”.     September 17, 1971 Montreal’s Guy Lafleur made his NHL debut, and picked up three assists in […]

The site will be going under a bit of a makeover as far as the focus of the hockey blog over the next week or so.  Please be patient as we undergo this pivotal change. Thanks for understanding.   Sincerely, Christopher R. Wassel Director Of The Program
