Hipster Doofus Makes Good With Clutch Hattie First period: The best early scoring chance went to Rimouski; Spitfires goaltender Andrew Engelage stood tall on a long two on one and made an excellent save with his right arm on a quick wrist shot. There was another amusing moment when Windsor’s Adam Henrique finished his […] I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue: he approaches nearest to the Gods, who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right. – Cato It ain’t a bad plan to keep still occasionally even when you know what you’re talking about. – Kin Hubbard I had the inestimable […] “Ovechkin, unassisted”; in addition to being the offical scorer’s line on Washington’s first goal tonight, those two words provide a useful guide to most of the series between the Capitals and Penguins. The NHL zebras aren't the problem, Caps fans As I write this, the third period is winding down and running out the […] Wow, Washington and Pittsburgh served up another beauty tonight. At one point in the third period, I recall Gord Miller telling me that there had been four lead changes in the game. The final two minutes of the 3rd were beyond belief.

The reasons for this are, in my opinion, obvious – provided you spent […] 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 […] Nb: I am cross-posting this article to both my own site and Pension Plan Puppets; I spent a lot of time working on this, and it occurred to me that if Jammies or Sexypants accidentally pushed the wrong “deletify” button over there at PPP, I might lose the whole thing. So here ’tis: Here’s the […] A New Day Dawning in Leafland? Sleep was deep, my breakfast was good, and the pot of tea hit the spot.
