This is an open letter to you, the hockey fan.  The past eight days or so has seen the hockey world held relatively hostage by one, Ilya Kovalchuk.  In that time, these negotiations have tested all of our patience right up to the very last nerve.  When MSM such as Pierre LeBrun have had enough, […]

Throughout the summer, we figured it would be a great idea to illustrate some of the not so fine things hockey players have gotten arrested for throughout the years and even presently if the case arises.  Why are we doing this?  Let’s face it to err is human.  Now here is an example of a […]

Today’s moment signifies a slow news day in history.  Let’s have a bit of a chuckle at this one shall we?  Here is the moment with a fun video of one of the players who got traded.     July 08, 1995 Los Angeles Kings obtained Dimitri Khristich and goaltender Byron Dafoe from the Washington […]

    Better late than never.  We are like the dysfunctional, angry family that just does things to get attention.  At any rate, there is a jammed pack show tonight.  We talk about it all and then some.  So if you want to know what is really going on in the FA Frenzy and more.  […]

The short short version of the 2007 Trade Deadline in assessment form.   A little late in coming…   Devils   Not something to tell your grandkids about. A half a mill salary dump and a two round draft climb. Meh.   Islanders   With all the moves made earlier in the season, we should […]

The moment today happened 13 years ago.   Hey take a team to the Stanley Cup Finals and you get canned?  It has happened before.  Here it goes.     July 07, 1997 Philadelphia Flyers named Wayne Cashman as their new head coach (the 11th in team history), replacing Terry Murray who was fired a month […]

  To say it was hot would be an understatement.  As the mercury soared above 100 before noontime, I thought to myself it would really be bad if the power went out.  I should have shut up as five mintues later the power did go out.  Seven hours later and finally power did come back […]

Time to see what happened on this day in hockey history on July 6th.  Now this moment is a bit of a surprise unless you are a diehard Red Wings fan.  Just 27 years ago today……     July 06, 1983 Detroit signed free agent goaltender Ken Holland, who went on to play 3 games […]

We went from this around 2pm ET……..(Thanks Patrick Hoffman). According to Mark Everson of The New York Post, the New Jersey Devils are still the favorites to sign UFA Ilya Kovalchuk. Everson reports that the deal could end up being for seven years and could be worth $60 million. The signing would be a team […]

I have seen lots of quick tributes but simply what to say of the now departed Bob Probert but the man could fight and fight and fight.  Here are some of his best.  Probie, you will be truly missed by a grateful hockey community.         Just a sad day ladies and gentlemen…..

When you do not quite have an idea where some of the top free agents are going, a post like this can be pretty incomplete on the surface.  However Jay Grossman just tweeted that Kovalchuk would like to make a decision on his future today.  We all swear there is a twist ending in this…that […]

Hello everyone.  Since we screwed up royally…..here are some videos to apologize for no show last night.         Its Monday and we still wait for signings….onward!!!

Stanley Cup winning coaches sometimes have moments that seem like they were from a lifetime ago.  Well this one really is.  Today’s moment is from 27 years ago.  Roll that beautiful hockey footage.     July 05, 1983 Calgary traded Richie Dunn along with Joel Quenneville to the Hartford Whalers, in exchange for Mickey Volcan.

For everyone out there….see you Monday for more FA Frenzy news and hopefully less BS rumors.  We can only hope.  Now some videos…..       Surprise advanced July 4th moment……   Would Calgary like to have this one back maybe?   July 04, 1994 Calgary Flames traded Al MacInnis (their all-time leading scorer) to […]

Happy 4th of July everyone and though there will be NO show tomorrow night….we wanted to wish everyone a safe one.  Simply see you Monday and stay safe! Sincerely, Chris Wassel Director Of The Program
