Sayonara Tampa Bay and hello New Jersey to one of the game’s best assist and faceoff men ever as Adam Oates is now an assistant coach with the New Jersey Devils.  We thank the many tweets from James Mirtle, Bob MacKenzie, and others along the way.  Let’s remember the Oates in a montage of sorts […]

So as the mercury approached 100 in some parts of the tri-state area yesterday, it got me thinking why will this year’s free agent frenzy be as cool as a cucumber?  Using these bad cliches are not always in the best of taste but it kind of is what it is.  Like we said before […]

We woke up and there were a few videos magically in our inbox this morning.  This morning’s theme is players going mad.  And now here are some examples.         Note the last video…the organ player never stops!!!!

There are just two more days until the Free Agent Frenzy begins.  Today’s moment happened 11 years ago and featured compensation for signing a GM.  You have to like those.  You were traded so a GM could be signed?  Oh that’s nice.  Anyway here is the moment and maybe a video too.     June […]

Coming soon:  cooking recipes for hockey fans and players.  I kid you not.  In the meantime, here are some videos.         Have a great night everyone!

  As it stands now….it is time to put my stamp on the fantasy hockey world so to speak.  This is not being egotistical folks.  The reality is fantasy hockey fans like their info quick, easy, and reliable.  I also like to play my leagues this way as well when ideal conditions permit.  Reasons why […]

    Release the hounds, it is the Monday Ice Water Cooler.  Last night was a very interesting night on the podcast as beforehand, I personally enjoyed two very high quality podcasts before hand.  The CCPT radio show on at 6pm and then the debut of Respect Hockey’s show at 7pm ET.  CCPT is on […]

If it is Monday, then there just needs to be some videos.  We will now provide them to you and just think a few more days until July 1st.  Hopefully there will be some action then,  Today some top UFA’s in action would suffice maybe?  We hope so.         It is time […]

It is back to the grind which means another This Day In Hockey History.  Today we look at one of those franchise chaning trades that happened just sixteen years ago.  Amazing stuff.     June 28, 1994 Toronto Maple Leafs traded Wendel Clark, Sylvain Lefebvre, Landon Wilson, and a 1994 first round draft pick to […]

Unforunately some things come along that take priority and precedence and this is one of them.  There is some personal business I have to attend to this weekend on my aunt’s behalf and as much as I would love to cover the draft, there is sadly just no way I can.  However, I will be […]

However here is what does not suck.   THE MOTHER OF ALL FANTASY LEAGUES….MAYBE THE FATHER TOO!   Yours truly along with Darryl Houston Smith and the fine folks from Inside Hockey have come up with a league so evil that you need a Cliff Notes version of the rulebook just to figure it out.  […]

Derek has been great to all of us at Bloguin but I am figuring that this needs to get out. The server upgrades have not gone quite as planned in case some have not realized.  From my own end, the server just upgraded a little while ago for me but is faster yet a bit […]

When digging around the internets, as we like to jokingly call them at times, you find some classic things that just add to an article or your contention about a point or group of points.  In our inane search to look at how teams like Chicago, Philly, even SJ and Boston, would find ways to […]

This morning we show you videos of past overall #1 picks since the Draft is tomorrow evening after all.         See the pattern here yet? Ouch I know!
