Again it is a very light day and since the Fourth Of July is tomorrow, we will try to keep the moment as brief as possible.  This is another case of a UFA signing gone well and it occurred 13 years ago today.  Usually, snipers are hard to come by and this was no exception. […]

Now here is what is going to happen today.  We did get a lot of free agent signings from yesteryear in the inbox but we found a feelgood one that will hopefully suffice.  Today’s dig into history comes from ten years ago where all this guy wanted was a Stanley Cup.  Here is that moment […]

Here is the TSN list of free agents that have signed today as seen by the link. Today’s list of Free Agent Signings: DATE NAME POS TO Total Years Avg/Yr Jul 1 Fedotenko, Ruslan LW NYR $1.4M 1 $1.4M Jul 1 Bergenheim, Sean LW Fla $11M 4 $2.75M Jul 1 Handzus, Michal C SJ $5M […]

Well we are halfway into 2011 already.  That seemed quick.  Today’s moment was shocking at the time but the fallout was more surprising to say the least.  A good coach stepped away and the stories swirled and swirled.  Here is that moment from 14 years ago today.     July 01, 1997 Buffalo Sabres announced […]

Here we go…..tomorrow is July and the Frenzy.  Now there are the videos for tomorrow.  This is partly what you need to know of two big name players on Friday.         Have a great night and most importantly…..breathe for now!

Send in the offers, the rumors, and the insanity.  We are just mere hours from the Free Agent Frenzy.  There is just the initial free agent frenetic nature of July 1st and that it is almost Canada Day as well.  What in the wide wide world of sports to expect tomorrow?  The Frenzy often starts […]

  (Thanks to our friends up North for this one and now Buffalo has their puck moving defenseman).   So Christian Ehrhoff has signed a 10 year, 40 million dollar deal with the Buffalo Sabres.  Ehrhoff gets a huge bonus and 18 million in the first two years of this contract which means he gets […]

Rarely would we put such a light hearted moment in on the day before free agency but this one just tops them all.  “Trading Places” fans will love this especially.  The moment occurred 18 years ago today and Detroit got a gritty player that helped them win titles all for a bargain basement price in […]

With much apologies, we will try to get some more content up tomorrow but the last few days have been very strange to say the least.  The moment for today which is a bit late due to TSA and “Customs” once again lousing things up is from 21 years ago.  It was one of the […]

  (Boy did Kevin Bieksa clean up nicely with a five year, 23 million dollar deal).   Well now the puck is on Kevin Bieksa’s side of the ice.  Can he fulfill the promise of this new deal the Vancouver Canucks gave him or will the Canucks live to regreat this one?  That is actually […]

Yes call me a homer but today’s moment comes from 18 years ago.  Certainly it does not feel like it was that long ago and yet it really was.  Again, we give a special thanks for those who particularly wanted this considering how flooded the inbox it was.  Here is the usual video then moment. […]

Well on a light day, we first give a huge stick tap to Mike Chen, who is retiring from writing hockey.  Now we give you a moment that happened 13 years ago today and illustrate what happens when a player does not know when to necessarily hang it up.  As always, first the moment and […]

(It is not all just about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tonight however.  Thanks to our friends from the AP once again).   Tonight is a good old fashioned two hour edition of The Program.  The question becomes so who are we going to have on tonight?  Well no one ever quite knows sometimes.  Spanning the draft and […]

Today’s moment focuses on a player who was such a colossal bust that maybe that is a reason why hockey did not work in Atlanta.  There is bust and then there is BUST.  Now from 12 years ago, we have the following on “THIS DAY”.     June 26, 1999 At the 1999 NHL Entry […]

It is time to say goodbye for the night with videos.  Here they come.         Good night everyone!
