This is a rare case of This Day “homering out”.  The moment happened 15 years ago and a phrase uttered by Doc Emrick became immoritalized.  Well here it is.  Enjoy.     June 24, 1995 Neal Broten and Shawn Chambers each scored twice as the Devils won 5-2, to sweep the Red Wings in four […]

One video tonight and only one video.  This sums up my disdain on this day.  The HHOF let you down Pat.  This one is for you.     Burnsy…..you are the man!

                Sims of death time already? Well not really.  The nice part of the summer is we can preview the potential Sims Of Death candidates for the 2010-11 season.  We have some obvious picks here and will add a few more as the regular season approaches.  Call this […]

    Question of the day time again and here it is….   If there is one game you are looking forward to on the schedule, what would it be and why?   This may be something to answer now or later.  Comments always welcome.  

    No people are not descending on Vegas because of the Las Vegas Wranglers.  Though you have to admit, for an ECHL team, they put together some really cool marketing ideas.  The thing is with the age of twitter, or the overabundance of it, you know exactly which people are in Vegas.  That is […]

Just a simple collection of videos this morning.  More from awards past?   Maybe.         Some off the wall type things tossed in obviously….onward to Tuesday….

Today its about the MERGER.  Yes you know which one.  Just 31 years ago, the WHA folded and four teams went into the NHL.  Here is more.     June 22, 1979 The Edmonton Oilers, Hartford Whalers, Quebec Nordiques and Winnipeg Jets joined the National Hockey League, as the NHL expanded to 21 teams for […]

Yes its cover boy Jonathan Toews for your moment of hockey zen today.  No he is not WITH MILEY!!!!     Those blasted broken sticks….     Kane and Toews actually….

A huge thanks to Ryan Porth who is hopefully enjoying the West this week.  Go check out his show at 8pm ET tonight on BTR!  It promises to be a great one as always.  Meanwhile here is his East and West draft preview. Atlanta Thrashers Decade in Review… Last ten first-rounders: 2009- Evander Kane (4th […]

  Okay what to do in the dead dog days of summer?  Yes summer starts officially today although its been hot enough the past couple days to really pay no mind to the increasing heat.  When it hits 100, let me know.  As crazy as this sounds, it really is a good time for fantasy […]

  So it was an interesting night last night on the show.  Go listen to it and now.  We added a last minute surprise to the festivities.  Thanks to Conor McKenna for being such a great sport from Team 990.  From the tweets, facebook comments, and IM’s this morning, the show was well received and […]

Our simple mock….part two.  At this point, there should not be a lot of major changes.  The thing is we will not try and gauge what trades will be made because there is no way in Hades you can predict the craziness that is coming.  We apologize there but debate away of course.  On the […]

A different way to look at three of the top agents out there.  Talk talk talk….video video video!         The top 3 free agents out there according to many……

Today’s moment is just one of those exercises in bad luck for one team and good for another.  In short, this is why they call it the draft.     June 21, 2003 Florida acquired Mikael Samuelsson and the 3rd overall pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft from Pittsburgh, in exchange for the 1st […]

I always watch the 1st round of the draft, and I always enjoy the process now matter where the Oilers are in the order, or if they do next to nothing as far as trades go. As you can well imagine however, with the Oilers drafting 1st overall at this years NHL Entry Draft, I’m […]
