I’m getting sick of hearing about the Penguins-Capitals/Crosby-Ovechkin rivalry. Well, it’s not that I’m sick of hearing about it, it’s that I’m sick of the two separate, yet related, rivalries being treated as the same thing. Back in 2005, I declared what I thought to be the obvious:”Crosby is overrated. Ovechkin, that’s the guy.” Now, […]
Okay. I admit it. I’m a Thrashers fan.

Yesterday, I asked a guy on another blog, a very good hockey blog, for a link share. He checked ours out said ‘thanks, but no thanks’ due to “colorful language”. That’s cool, to each their own, and I will continue reading his blog but, it got me thinking: I’m not sure I know how to […]
