Brodeur Not Close to Done
Going into the 2011-12 NHL season, many hockey fans and pundits alike felt that it might be the last season for New Jersey Devils’ goaltender Martin Brodeur. The reasons for this were quite simple.

The Program Hockey Mailbag
Hi there everyone! I am the newest writer for “The Hockey Program” and am very happy to be on board. I write under the alias of “Fang Finger”, but that doesn’t mean I am a “insider”.

It was said a parody needed to be done after this one but there was a strong desire to wait. We know people have been up in arms a bit with the Parise and Suter signings and some have been obviously very happy. Here is a parody sung to Don MacLean’s classic “American Pie”. […]
