Today is a special double shot on This Day.  First the actual hockey moment and then a special one.  I forgot this guy was actually put on waivers in his career.  Yikes.     I was told to think cold thoughts…also a special Happy Birthday to my mom who turns 65 today.   July 21, […]

Details are forthcoming but the NHL has rejected the Ilya Kovalchuk contract saying it circumvents the salary cap. The key to be emphasized is this.  With the press conference done and everything else, do you really think the Devils will lose Kovalchuk now?  Come on everyome, it is time to be a bit realistic here.

A special thanks to Steve Dangle and because now that it is all over, we can make light of all of this.  Here is today’s hockey moment of zen.  Coming tomorrow will be our first Your Slot Here of a random Bloguin hockey blogger.  Stay tuned to see who it will be.  It will be […]

The winners of the Free Agent Frenzy this year are the New Jersey Devils.  Let’s be honest.  With the resigning of Ilya Kovalchuk to only a cap hit of 6 million per season, the Devils have locked up the Russian sniper for the rest of his playing days.  So let’s see, the Devils have signed […]

A day to remember for the WHA…and one to forget for the Montreal Canadiens to a point anyway.  The moment was 38 years ago today.     July 20, 1972 Montreal Canadiens’ star J.C. Tremblay signed a five year contract with the Quebec Nordiques of the newly formed World Hockey Association, and Maurice Richard was […]

Tonight we are taking a ton of crap!  However, here are some nice Kovalchuk videos and NHL too.         Have a great night!!!!

  Thanks to Ryan, Ryan (RLD HOCKEY) offers up who should fill some vacancies and I chime in as well.   As of today, there are five teams without a captain. Who should they designate as their new captain? Anaheim Ducks Previous captain: Scott Niedermayer With the future Hall of Famer Niedermayer retiring last month, […]

Today we bring it back, the wildly acclaimed “Hockey Apocalypse”.  Thanks so much to Buddy Oakes because without him this idea never even gets off the ground.

  We now present the Monday Ice Water Cooler and commercial free at that.  Last night, once again thanks to the Fantasy Sports Channel for all of their help, there was a very entertaining time had by all.  Last night we were doubly pleasured by having Kat Kealy from Press Box Perspective (HB too) and […]

The moment we have today was actually one of those times that I still keep scratching my head over.  It was a strange one indeed.  However, seven years ago today….the following occurred.     July 19, 2003 Mighty Ducks of Anaheim announced the signing of free agent Sergei Fedorov, who had spent his entire career […]

Today’s moment of hockey zen is simple but to the point.  Here comes that shiny video all set up just for the reader.  Enjoy this priceless one as this is rare indeed.     This is a bit disturbing…turn your kids away…..
