Bear with us as we battle the plagues.  Today’s moment was tough but hey, it is hockey, that is expected and normal.  This is definitely a fast one so keep an eye on it.     December 20, 1981 Winnipeg’s Doug Smail set an NHL record (later tied by Bryan Trottier and Alex Mogilny) for […]

There will be some more goodies later but the baking, cooking, and mass cleaning for Christmas has begun.  This should be fun and result in lots of liquid consumed.  Remember not to do it to excess and now for today’s moment.       December 19, 1987 Boston’s Ken Linseman and St. Louis’ Doug Gilmour […]

Congrats to Eric Boulton for being named Fantasy Player Of The Night.  Yes I know it is kind of premature but we are calling it because a hat trick against New Jersey is well why not a cause for celebration.  Well not really.  At any rate, here are a couple videos.         […]

This is a busy weekend as we prepare for the upcoming week which will be noticeably more quiet here. Again we do apologize but when it comes to Christmas, that does take priority or legend has it that it does anyway.   Last night we went 3-1 and today we agreed with Kevin on the […]

Four days down and eight to go, well sort of.  Today we hit Day 5 on this crazy mixed up journey. Please note again our first four days so far.  Some of these were truly special gems. Four pucks whiz by Mason. Three or more by Theodore Two power play goals for Malkin And a […]

There is only one week left until Christmas and all around the house everything is now stirring.  Here is today’s moment from yesteryear.     December 18, 1983 Black Hawks retired Bobby Hull’s uniform #9 in a pre-game ceremony at Chicago Stadium. Black Hawks lost 5-1 to the visiting Boston Bruins.

Simply from a player…what is the worst offensive performance have you seen this season? We will take comments all night and the weekend for Sunday’s show.      Video games do not imitate real life….tonight was proof. More later.
