Downie’s Syndrome

20 fucking games? Are you fucking kidding me? Downie’s hit on McAmmond was egregious, to be sure - at best it’s the work of an over-eager kid thinking he’s still trying to impress Bobby Clarke, at worst a pre-meditated attempt to injure (which I highly doubt) - but a 20 game suspension? That’s more actual […]

Out of My Fivehole. Vol. I

With the 2007-08 Hockey season barreling down on us from the opposite blueline like Steve Downie screaming for vengance after being spanked like the uncouth cementhead that he is, the time has come to speak of the one thing that sends every true hockey fan into fits of snarling hatred.
Rule changes.
If my parents […]

a view before

Any reputable hockey blog will do a season preview. But so will we. And by “we”, I mean “me, after many beers and a short night paying money to look at naked women”. By hell, the time I spend on the ‘nets, plus the dough I drop on preview magazines, I swear […]

ding-dong!

As the last post was in preparation, I learned that the population of Hell has increased by one vicious madman:
Bill Wirtz has died.
Since Wirtz is probably best described as the Mussolini of hockey, we can only hope that Chris Chelios comes riding into Chicago to crucify Bad Bill’s maggoty body upside-down outside the United Center. […]

Working for Lou “I am become ruiner of worlds” Lame-O-Rama, playing in Cockinental Airlines Arena, these things will […]

Juniors Rule, Cloutiers Drool

Starving for hockey, Collision and I rolled down to the Winter Hawks season opener against the Vancouver Giants. The Hawks ended last season in dead last, and the Giants won the Memorial Cup , so I think Portland comported themselves with a certain dignity in a 6-2 loss. At least we got to see a […]

Starting The Year Off Right

As a Canucks fan, I have lived with a lot of own foot shooting, so it comes as no shock to me (and, sadly, ranks quite low on a list of ‘Nucks self-sabotage) that at least two Canucks, Luongo and Salo, were hobbled in an intrasquad game on Sunday. Luongo is practicing, but Salo […]

10 days

This time of year is always painful to me. We are past the draft, over most big signings, and have 10 days before most teams report to training camp. When our heroes do report they will be out of shape and media outlets will make big issues out of nothing to sell papers to people […]
