Saturday Snap – "Snapping An NHL Record"

I was going to do my usual weekly picture of Pace being cute but this NHL highlight is worthy of a video version of the Saturday Snap, I think.  Tonight, the Bruins scored an NHL record THREE short-handed goals during one powerplay.  Having just read a CalgaryPuck thread about NHL records that will never be […]

Five Pop Topics Round-Up

A few quick hits on my most popular topics… HockeyI really hate the Canucks and think it would be a travesty if one of the Sedin sisters won the Hart Trophy.  I mean, a guy with a career average of 65 points a season gets a bunch of assists and is now one of the […]

Random Pace Cuteness – Hockey Bug Edition

I mentioned yesterday that after taking Pace to his first Pat's game, it seemed like he may have gotten bitten by the hockey bug.  Today has already confirmed it.  From demanding his “hockey shirt” (jersey) the moment he woke up to playing ball hockey in the living room non-stop throughout the day, I think we've […]

Saturday Snap – Pace's First Hockey Game

I was offered tickets to tonight's Pats game so ended up taking Shea, Pace as well as my parents to what was Pace's first live hockey game.  It was a pretty good one – early Pats lead with a couple goals by Jordan Eberle followed by a Broncos comeback then scoreless OT and a shootout […]

Castaway

Got the cast off today so I typed a big, long entry with various thoughts on the experience.  But Firefox crashed just as I was about to post it so this is what you get instead…

Friday Fun Link – Mashup of NHL Player Birthplaces (November 27, 2009)

This is very cool.  A Google Maps mash-up showing the birthplace of every player that's ever played in the NHL.  Although there is the expected broad swath through Canada, the northern US, Europe and Russia, I was surprised at how many countries and continents are actually represented.  (If you zoom in on the map, you'll […]

No Guts, No Glory: The NHL's Gutsiest Performances

I promise I'll stop writing about my poor little hockey boo-boo but I saw this on Reddit and couldn't resist posting it – a video highlighting some of the gutsiest performances from the NHL in 2008-09.  (Warning: some potentially disturbing imagery)  Of course, the big difference between me breaking my leg then getting up and […]
