So HE returns……..   So now we know that Sidney Crosby is coming back tonight against the New York Islanders.  The Pittsburgh Penguins Center has missed basically what amounts to nearly a 1/4 of the season with post concussion syndrome.  Remember he has been out for some 10 1/2 months but who is […]

Yes the sound you hear in Pittsburgh is bells of joy as Sidney Crosby is back.  However that is not our moment today.  This one is a bit different as far as moments because it involves a rule change that would be considered bizarre today but made perfect sense back in the old days.  Let’s […]

Sadly there will not be any posting today as I take a day to pay my respects to the greatest man in my life.  Please read below and I will always be thankful for that hockey dad that was better than any other. What is weird is you think this would get easier. But no […]

Here are some videos on a Saturday Night…….enjoy.           So we give a 6.0 on that one. Have a great night everyone and let the debates begin!

  It s a crazy Saturday so we let Ian Gooding of Kukla’s Korner take over and give us his Pick Six for a busy day and night in the NHL.  =============================================== A total of 24 teams are in action on Saturday. Rather than listing them all, I’ll just say that all teams except Anaheim, […]

Here is a running moment on This Day In Hockey History…well sort of.  When you want to end a game fast, sometimes you just have to call Mark Messier.  After a few helpers and the general joy of seeing other players score, Messier thought the game listed below would end best with a goal that […]

    A LOOK BACK……   So Nikolai Khabibulin and the Edmonton Oilers had one of those home nights where nothing went right last night.  Ottawa chased the goalie in seven shots and rolled on to a 5-2 road win in Edmonton.  It left quite a few fantasy fans and hockey fans stunned.  Maybe it […]

TGIF today on This Day as we salute a goalie that was a little out there (aren’t they all?) but when a playoff game was on the line, there were few better.  Today is from a moment that happened ten years ago.  Let’s face it, when Patrick Roy was on his game there were maybe […]

Here are the videos on a Thursday Night….we caution on some very strange events.  Its video time.           Have a great night!!!!

    A LOOK BACK…….. The problem with light schedules is they can often magnify specific events.  Unfortunately for fantasy owners of Carolina Hurricanes, it became quickly apparently against the Montreal Canadiens that they quit on themselves and/or their coach last night.  What resulted was a 4-0 Habs victory that looked like it could have […]

It was a Brass Bonanza type of day on This Day and that is what we are sticking with.  1979 was the first year in the NHL for the Hartford Whalers and they gave us this nice moment from 32 years ago today.  Yes note the video as we have used it several times before.  […]

Here we go….ready….set…..videos from some early action…..           Have a great night everyone!

Our Twitter picks have been rolling pretty good but our site picks have been in a bit of a funk lately.  Let’s see what gives today.  Kevin from NHL Predictions….you have the floor so make it count. ============================================== Chicago Blackhawks @ Vancouver Canucks – CANUCKS TO WIN (-115) (Note: I’m risking 1.15 units to win […]

    Bobby Butler made a hell of a move last night as he scored twice in a 3-1 Ottawa win over the Calgary Flames.  Butler only played a little over 8:00 of ice time in the victory in case anyone had noticed.  That was not the only peculiar event last night that got our […]

Today’s Hump Day edition of This Day takes a look at one of the best snipers in the game….ever.  This player literally had the gold touch, as he scored 50 goals almost blindfolded.  It is scary to think a guy could score that many goals that fast but yes this New York Islander did so.  […]
