We do not like to bestow this honor on this guy but statistically he is the #1 fantasy defensemen out there.  Here is a video.     Not much respect for our #1 guy I understand. However, he does put up points like no one’s business and for a defenseman, that means a lot.  Now […]

I said it before the children are our hockey future and here is proof…..     This is what it really is all about ladies and gentlemen.

The alarm has been officially sounded.     Now will you listen hockey fans?  Thanks again to Tom Gulitti, Michelle Kenneth, Richard Chere, and so many others who have been an immense help in this process from the NJ Devils end of things.  What a few of us had been saying for the last several […]

Today’s moment focuses on a guy who had a very short stint with one team and now has had the last laugh or three.  Here it goes.     August 10, 1987 New York Rangers signed free agent Peter Laviolette. Laviolette played 12 NHL games with the Rangers and went scoreless, then resurfaced 12 years […]

We are too…..more on when it happens and later…the fallout obviously.  No texts, no nothing at all.  Very quiet…not even a tweet directly about it.  Stay tuned.     5:15…still waiting…   THEN AT 5:20 or so…it appears that Mr. Bloch has decided with the NHL according to sources.  We will see if this pans […]

We did something last night we rarely do on the show and that is go the entire two hours talking nothing but fantasy hockey.  Yes there was acknoledgement of headlines and such but it was mostly a numbers game of epic proportions between yours truly, Rick, Anthony, and Tim.  So you had three guys from […]

While we wait for rain or the Kovalchuk decision, here is today’s moment of zen.  Again we apologize for taunting people with this story for so many many days.     Did you expect any less?

Today’s moment happened a whopping 31 years ago and here it is.  Now have a beer, enjoy it, and make sure you are not on the passenger’s side here.     August 09, 1979 In the NHL Entry draft held in Montreal, the Colorado Rockies used the #1 pick overall to select defenseman Rob Ramage.

  Yes it is time for another critically acclaimed episode of The Program on Blog Talk Radio’s Fantasy Sports Channel.  The call in numbers as always is 1-347-826-7358.  As we anchor the last two hours of the Sunday Bloody Sunday hockey blog on BTR, we will have some fireworks aplenty on what seems like a […]

This one happened 32 years ago today….now talk about transactions of the totally weird kind.  There are a couple twists in this one indeed.     August 08, 1978 Free agent goalie Rogie Vachon of the Kings signed with Detroit. Dale McCourt was awarded to the Kings as compensation. Ultimately the Red Wings sent Andre […]

As we take off for parts unknown for the next few days, hopefully no major news breaks.  In the meantime, check out our extensive links and blogrolls.  Also, Brad will drop in on Saturday for his usual “DAMNED” opinion.  Until then, happy trails until the podcast on Sunday.   Sincerely, Chris Wassel Director Of The […]

And now we wait…….. @TGfireandice: Kovalchuk hearing in Boston is over. Arbitrator Richard Bloch’s decision is due by the end of business on Monday. Thanks once again to Tom.  In the meantime, here is a song that is poetic for the situation.  Here is Tom again.  Tom Petty, that is.     Maybe the NHL […]

The Ilya Kovalchuk hearing will end today so therefore the only thing fitting would be this moment of Hockey Zen.     If the arbitrator rules in favor of Kovalchuk, this video will have to be replayed again.

  So on Your Slot Here, we now take on Pensblog, the iconic Penguins blog on Bloguin that literally is a franchise all on its own.  They have spawned more things than career Marc Andre-Fleury shutouts.  Honestly, Pensblog has spawned numerous contests and Rinkotology just to name a few.  The franchise has turned a spinoff […]

Yes you knew this was coming and no there will be no Star Wars music to accompany this. However we have a video in honor of the #1 fantasy goalie last season or we believe to be the #1 fantasy goalie points per game wise. Here goes.   This year well we wanted to do […]
