This Day In Hockey History (8/2)

Today’s moment happened just 15 years ago.  Strange to see a move involving this many players in August but occasionally it does indeed happen.  Here is the story…..     August 02, 1995 Boston obtained Kevin Stevens and Shawn McEachern from Pittsburgh, in exchange for Glen Murray, Bryan Smolinski and the Bruins’ 3rd round pick […]

Show Outline Tonight….

  Ladies and gentlemen….I ask you how much drugs can be popped into one person to get them through a two hour podcast?  Well tonight we are going to find out.  There is actually quite a bit to talk about.  Time for that show outline but first we wanted to thank everyone that made the […]

This Day In Hockey History (8/1)

Holy crap!  We have made it to August and tonight we welcome in August on the show in grand style or something like that.  Either way, it should be a good time had by all.  At any rate here is today’s moment.     August 01, 1994 Detroit Red Wings signed veteran Mike Krushelnyski to […]

This Day In Hockey History (7/31)

The last post of the month is simply a tribute to my father who would have turned 69 today.  Forgive us here for the lack of posting today but under the circumstances, I hope everyone understands.  Now the moment in a twist.  The old man’s favorite hockey moment and you can see this Monday on […]

Down In Fire Or Hot As Hell?

It’s funny, the Edmonton Oilers finished dead last in the NHL last season, yet when you discuss the Oilers and Flames here in Alberta it seems that the overwhelming opinion is that the Oilers are in a far, far better place then where the Calgary Flames are these days. Now, if we are talking about […]

Your Slot Here: Barry Melrose Rocks

I was told once there was this funny nut on Bloguin that made me laugh hysterically.  Kevin has assembled a fine team in that never ending quest to blow up the Death Star.  Seriously, Kevin and his merry band of friend continue to make us laugh, think, drink plenty, and get a little angry every […]

Your Hockey Moment Of Zen…

Speculation is flowing that a representative for the Los Angeles Kings has or will be asked to testify early next week during the Ilya Kovalchuk arbitration case.  This was the reaction from the Kings camp……..and your hockey moment of zen…..     Yes I went there….

This Day In Hockey History (7/30)

As July winds down, there are just a couple more moments.  Tonight after firing the computer back up from the dead, we have a nice little moment from just seven years ago.  I almost forgot this player did play for the Detroit Red Wings.  Oops!     July 30, 2003 Detroit Red Wings announced the […]

Good morning to all of our readers….. Two years of The Program is a pretty amazing thing.  I wanted to thank our audience and readers most wholeheartedly.  Rest assured, there will be much more coming down the road.  This has been more than any one of us on this journey could ever expect.  That journey […]

This Day In Hockey History (7/29)

Much apologies for the lack of posting but as always we try to improvise on The Program. Today on this moment, we type from a stormy ocean. Today a gem from 25 years ago.     July 29, 1985   Jean Perron replaced Jacques Lemaire as Head Coach of the Montreal Canadiens. Lemaire resigned to […]

Chef Chris At It Again For Hockey Players….

While we wait for Blake Wheeler’s arbitration decision…who knows what he will ultimately be awarded with.  That being said, we have a recipe for hockey players that is both enjoyable and helpful to the hockey player from a nutritional point of view. This one for the hockey guy or lady out there…..is simply called…..   […]

A Good Thing To See….

Before we exit Stage Right for a few hours….I wanted to say go check out RLD Hockey Talk tonight at 8pm ET on Blog Talk Radio as Ryan and Anthony talk to Lany Schwartz and the incomparable Kevin Allen of USA Today.  This promises to be a great show. That being said, we will also […]

Question Of The Day…

This one is kind of important in a sense for this player.  Alex Frolov is at a crossroads of sorts.  He did sign a 1 year, 3 million dollar contract and that now has been confirmed by many sources.  Here is today’s question.   Just how many points will Alex Frolov get this year playing […]

What If Arbitration Hearings Were…..

TELEVISED! To be honest and I may irk some Penguin and Caps fans here but frankly I do not care.  I am not interested in the “Versus Classic” between the Penguins and Capitals on January 1st.  Yes this presser is going on live on the NHL Network but I would much rather watch some of […]
