Break out the sirens!  There is only one thing from the police blotter today….but it involves embezzlement, hockey, and a bad mom.  Seriously it could be called a trifecta.   Time for Police Blotter 2.   Police Blotter   — Woman in Arizona arrested for allegedly embezzling about 500,000 dollars from an Arizona High School […]

These trips back to the older days get harder and harder to find in August but we can still pull out the select gem when needed or just a moment that makes you remember something.  Today this one from 13 years ago even had me looking up a few things as well.     August […]

A jammed pack show tonight complete with surprises and splashdown pool but also we need to do today’s moment of hockey zen.  Here it goes…     Poor Nick Fotiu…got whacked by a mic….OUCH!

  The time has come.  The fantasy hockey fan has been out in the cold far too long.  We recently sent a pitch to the folks at Sirius for a nuts and bolts fantasy hockey show.  For whatever reason, the silence was deafening.  Here is their lineup on Channel 211 for today and you tell […]

  Yes the show will go on tonight at 8pm ET like it always does.  Whether we finish or get thrown off air is anyone’s guess.  This will not be a normal show tonight.  It will be heated.  Things will be said that will anger people, opinions will provoke, and surely some people will just […]

Second tours of duty are not uncommon in the NHL and is always nice when a Stanley Cup goalie gets to go home to the scene of his greatest glory.  That moment happened eleven years ago today and here it is…..     August 04, 1999 Edmonton signed free agent (and former Oiler) Bill Ranford.

Time to toss in a few videos into the water to see what bites…….have a great night everyone.         Yes milestones may have been the theme here.

Whomever came up with this original piece of art…please step up and take your credit now. Okay it was DGB of course! This needs a name to go with the picture. A true classic.   I am also partial to the wasted money reference and epic disaster for some reason as well.   Now for […]

I always have to thank Rick because I never know when something we talk about on the show will pop up on a blog somehow but here comes Rick again.  Go check out his blog by the way…always opinionated and unfiltered.  Here is the story…..   If anyone hasn’t heard, last night the NHL rejected […]

Today we really only have one oddity but it is a doozy of sorts.  Tim Kennedy was waived yesterday is expected to be bought out.  Here is one not so odd thing…a video of his first goal and yes it was on Marty Brodeur.  Go figure!     So the odd part lies in the […]

This moment is always a favorite of mine only because of the man’s name.  Let’s face it…the nickname “Essensa Of Man” is a classic or “Bob the Essensa of Man”.  Either way here is today’s moment from just nine years ago.  Enjoy.     August 03, 2001 Buffalo Sabres signed free agent goaltender Bob Essensa, […]

It is now confirmed that the Ilya Kovalchuk hearing will take place Wednesday in Boston.  The hearing will take place over two days and the arbiter will have 48 hours to rule which means we will likely still know by Friday or the weekend.  Either way, there will be an end of sorts to this […]

Steve Lepore and I go relatively way back but Steve has outdone himself this time with an exclusive interview of Bill Daly, the 2nd big banana in the NHL or better known as NHL Deputy Commissioner.  You can read the rest of the interview HERE.  However, a few questions just needed to be spotlighted for […]

  People will learn that one of these days, I take dares seriously.  Sure Jenna is on hockey vacation but we will spotlight her great blog anyway.  Yes she insists it is not all that great but the traffic suggests otherwise.  Here is a link to Hipchecks before we forget.     Yes you would […]

Just wanted to update everyone on the latest going on with some fantasy leagues that we are floating around.  First off, the IHFDL Veterans Draft is in full steam now.  Want to see the list of picks?  Sure you do.  Here they are.
