It is, as Spouse has dubbed the Series, “Crosbys vs. Ovechkins” in an intriguing second-round matchup of two of the game’s most marketable and thrilling stars. My allegiance, of course, lies with my adoptive team: the Washington Capitals. A playoff orphan, in view of the continued on ice suck-itude at Bay and Front, I am […]

As it turned out, I wasn’t able to make it to tonight’s Spitfire/Batallion match, the second of the OHL best-of-seven final. I had looked into buying tickets earlier in the week, but work concerns had me wondering whether I’d be able to get out early enough to make it down the 403 in time for […] A quick mention, before I head off to work, that the Windsor Spitfires destroyed the Brampton Batallion 10-1 in the first game of their OHL Championship series last night. The crowd at the new WFCU Centre must have been thrilled. I am hoping to go to game 2 of the series Friday night in Brampton […] Posts two days in a row after a month of silence? What what? I can’t let the NHL playoffs pass without observing that it’s a shame that Boston defenceman Andrew Alberts didn’t play for a Canadian-based team, and about twenty years ago.

I have to confess that it has been a long time since I attended a Spits […] Boone’s Farm is a kind of malt beverage that is the punch line to rather a lot of jokes; The maximum salary an NHL player can earn is 20% of the team’s payroll; The word “proactive” can be – and often is – terribly overused; The lunch meeting I thought I had on Friday […] The 2009 NHL trade deadline came and went at 3 p.m. today. You can find a complete recap and analysis here; briefly, out the door go Nik Antropov and Dominic Moore (in return for draft choices). In the door comes former Sens goalie Martin Gerber, who was claimed on waivers as a stopgap measure as […] |
